The Influence of CFO Directors on Accounting Information Quality

In recent years, there have been numerous financial frauds worldwide, and people are deeply aware of the importance of accounting information quality to a company. As a financial manager, CFO also affects accounting information quality to a large extent. The paper takes a sample that includes data from 2015 to 2017 of A-share listed companies. It studies the relationship among CFO directors, CFO independence, CFO age, CFO education and accounting information quality from the perspective of CFO serving as a director. The study shows that CFO internal director can significantly improve the quality of accounting information. CFO independence will have a moderating effect on the relationship between CFO internal director and accounting information quality. The more independent CFO is, the more obvious the role of CFO internal director in promoting accounting information quality plays. However, the age and education of CFO have no significant effects on the relationship between CFO directors and accounting information quality.
Structural, ferroelectric and photocatalytic performance of Ba1-xCaxTiO3 ceramics

Abstract Ba1-xCaxTiO3 (Ca added BaTiO3; x = 0–0.3) ceramics is used as a target catalyst to probe the influence of ferro-electricity on the de-colorization of a typical dye molecule Methyl orange under visible light irradiation. The results indicated that there is a two fold increase in the de-colorization rate using Ba0.7Ca0.3TiO3 in around 180 min. This is ascribed to the ferro-electricity of the tetragonal phase. To probe the ferro-electricity in the catalyst, the P-E hysteresis loops show high polarization of 17.50 µC/cm2 in x = 0.3 compared to 10 µC/cm2 for x = 0 at 303 K. The high value of polarization in Ca added BaTiO3 enhances ferro-electricity and ensures a tightly bound layer of dye molecule and also acts to separate the photo-excited carriers due to the internal space charge layer. Both these features act to enhance the catalytic performance. Further, we studied the temperature dependence of dielectric study and it was found that dielectric constant increased and undergoes a maximum corresponding to a phase transition (330 K for x = 0.3) and thereafter decreased. The Ca substitution diffused the phase transition of BaTiO3 and resulted in shift of transition temperature towards room temperature with increase in content of Ca which is useful for many dielectric applications.

THÖR: Human-Robot Indoor Navigation Experiment and Accurate Motion Trajectories Dataset.

Understanding human behavior is key for robots and intelligent systems that share a space with people. Accordingly, research that enables such systems to perceive, track, learn and predict human behavior as well as to plan and interact with humans has received increasing attention over the last years. The availability of large human motion datasets that contain relevant levels of difficulty is fundamental to this research. Existing datasets are often limited in terms of information content, annotation quality or variability of human behavior. In this paper, we present THOR, a new dataset with human motion trajectory and eye gaze data collected in an indoor environment with accurate ground truth for position, head orientation, gaze direction, social grouping, obstacles map and goal coordinates. THOR also contains sensor data collected by a 3D lidar and involves a mobile robot navigating the space. We propose a set of metrics to quantitatively analyze motion trajectory datasets such as the average tracking duration, ground truth noise, curvature and speed variation of the trajectories. In comparison to prior art, our dataset has a larger variety in human motion behavior, is less noisy, and contains annotations at higher frequencies.
Online Health Information–Seeking Among Older Women With Chronic Illness: Analysis of the Women’s Health Initiative

Background Understanding how older patients with chronic illnesses use the internet to obtain health information is relevant for the design of digital interventions aimed at improving the health and well-being of adults aged 65 years and older; this cohort represents the sickest, most expensive, and fastest-growing segment of the US population. Objective The objective of our study was to describe online health information–seeking behavior among older patients with chronic illnesses and to compare the characteristics of patients who report using the internet to obtain health information with those who do not. Methods The study population included 72,806 women aged 65 years and older enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), a national cohort study, who completed a 2014 supplemental questionnaire assessing everyday technology use and internet use for researching health conditions. Comparisons were made between participants with and without a history of chronic illness and between users and nonusers of online sources for health information. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. Results Of the total, 59% (42,887/72,806) of older women used the internet for health information. Compared with women who did not use the internet to obtain health information, those who used the internet were younger (median age: 76 vs 81 years), more likely to be non-Hispanic white (90% [38,481/42,887] vs 87% [26,017/29,919]), earned a higher income (over $US 50,000: 55% [23,410/42,887] vs 33% [9991/29,919]), achieved a higher educational level (more than high school: 87% [37,493/42,887] vs 75% [22,377/29,919]), and were more likely to live with a partner (52% [22,457/42,887] vs 36% [10,759/29,919]) (all P<.001). Women with Alzheimer disease were least likely to report online health information–seeking compared to those without the disease (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.38-0.43). In contrast, women with a recent diagnosis of cancer, within the previous 2 years (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.11-1.36) or 2-5 years ago (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.00-1.19), were most likely to use the internet for health information. Conclusions Nearly 6 in 10 older women participating in the WHI reported using the internet to obtain health information. Patients recently diagnosed with cancer are more likely to be looking for health information online, even after adjustment for age, suggesting that these patients may have a greater need for digital health resources.
A Governance Approach to Regional Energy Transition: Meaning, Conceptualization and Practice

Energy transition requires action from different levels of government. While the national and local level have received ample scholarly attention, thus far little attention has been paid to the regional level. This is remarkable because policy makers across Europe are wondering what governance of regional transition actually is and how to shape and implement it. In the present paper, this concern is addressed. The research questions are, "What does regional governance of energy transition entail? How can it be conceptualized? And what does it mean in practice? " The questions are answered by presenting the results of a multi-disciplinary literature study, presenting a conceptual framework on governance of regional energy transition, using insights from innovation and transition studies as well as from the regional and network governance literature, and applying this to the illustrative case of theWest-Brabant region in The Netherlands. West-Brabant is a relatively large region and was home to a pilot that involved the development of a regional energy strategy. Data collection involved twenty expert interviews, text documents and participative observation in workshops. Results highlight the relevance of each of the key elements of the conceptual governance framework. However, some are particularly relevant like structural characteristics of the regional actor network, actor characteristics, and regional governance arrangements used. The results reveal commonalities with regional governance in other policy domains. This paper contributes to the literature on polycentric governance of energy transition and climate change mitigation, and concludes with the presentation of a research agenda.
Telehealth for rural diverse populations: telebehavioral and cultural competencies, clinical outcomes and administrative approaches.

Rural health care settings are challenged to provide timely and evidence-based care, particularly for culturally diverse patients with behavioral health disorders. Telepsychiatry and telebehavioral health improve access to care and leverage scarce resources. This scoping review from January 2000 - July 2019 was conducted to see if the literature had data for two related the research questions, "What are the components of culturally competent, telepsychiatric clinical care, and what approaches have clinicians and systems taken to implement and evaluate it? " The review focused on key words in four concept areas: (I) competencies; (II) telehealth in the form of telepsychiatry, telebehavioral or telemental health; (III) culture; and (IV) health. It was done in accordance with the six-stage scoping review process in PubMed/Medline and other databases. The screeners reviewed the full-text articles for final inclusion based on inclusion (mesh of the key words) and exclusion (e.g., need for only, skills abstractly discussed) criteria. From a total of 1,118 papers, the authors found 44 eligible for full text review and found 7 papers directly relevant to the concepts. Few studies specifically discuss skills and competencies of both telehealth and cultural factors. Many organizations are attending to cultural competencies and approaches to care, but there are no specific competencies that integrate telepsychiatry or telebehavioral health with culture. Existing telepsychiatric (i.e., video, social media, mobile health) and one set telebehavioral health competencies included cultural component, including use of interpreters and language matters. Administrative adjustments are suggested to promote culturally competent care by telehealth via clinical, educational, quality improvement, program/system evaluation, and other (e.g., finance and reimbursement) interventions. More structured research is needed on development, implementation and evaluation of combined competencies in rural settings.
Comparative assessment of antibacterial efficacy for cobalt nanoparticles, bulk cobalt and standard antibiotics: A concentration dependant study

Synthesis of compounds that can prevent bacterial resistance is of huge interest and gaining immense popularity. Cobalt (Co) is one of the cheaper transition metals and its nano form has not been studied in details for antibacterial actions. Comparative analysis of Co nanoparticles with bulk Co and standard antibacterials are also lacking. In our study, concentration dependent action of Co nanoparticles was observed from 0.125 to 128.0 μg/ml against S. aureus and E. coli. Zone of inhibition of Co nanoparticles was better against E. coli than S. aureus. Co nanoparticles were markedly betterthan bulk Co, oxytetracycline and gentamicin. Activity index and fold increase of Co nanoparticles were higher at most of the concentrations. In conclusion, Co nanoparticles showed better antibacterial action than other tested compounds against S. aureus and E. coli particularly at lower concentrations, and their use may be extended in different biomedical fields in future.
Retrospective data analysis of all requests for flow cytometric immunophenotyping in a tertiary hospital setting

Flow cytometry is a globally accepted diagnostic tool used for the rapid identification of cells based on their surface and intracellular antigens, especially for the diagnosis of haematological malignancies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the requests received for flow cytometric immunophenotyping and to create a profile of diagnoses. In 2014 data regarding indications and diagnoses were captured from request forms received and final diagnosis reports issued by the Tshwane Academic Division (TAD) of the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS). A total of 1234 requests were received over the one year period, of which 80.4% were performed and 16.8% were rejected. The most common indications were leukaemia, lymphoma and cytopenia. Nineteen percent of requests received contained no correct indication or clinical history. In total, 103 and 153 diagnoses were established based on peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate specimens respectively. Samples were mostly rejected due to sample clotting, electronic gate keeping rules and receiving the specimen more than 24 hours after collection.
Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly, 1981-1993: [East Boston, Massachusetts, Iowa and Washington Counties, Iowa, New Haven, Connecticut, and North Central North Carolina]

The goals of the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (EPESE) project were to describe and identify predictors of mortality, hospitalization, and placement in long-term care facilities and to investigate risk factors for chronic diseases and loss of functioning. The survey elicited information from persons 65 years of age and older in four geographic locations: East Boston, Massachusetts, New Haven, Connecticut, Iowa and Washington Counties, Iowa, and five counties in north central North Carolina. The public use baseline data (Part 1) cover demographic characteristics (age, sex, race, income, education, marital status, number of children, employment, and religion), height, weight, social and physical functioning, chronic conditions, related health problems, health habits, self-reported use of dental, hospital, and nursing home services, and depression. Data from six follow-up surveys conducted in all four of the sites are also provided (Parts 2-4 and 6-8), along with information from death certificates for deaths occurring in the first six years of follow-up for all four sites (Part 5).
Nutrient parsimony shapes diversity and functionality in hyper-oligotrophic Antarctic soils

The balance of nutrients in soil is critical for microbial growth and function, and stoichiometric values below the Redfield ratio for C:N:P can negatively affect microbial ecosystem services. However, few studies have assessed the relationships between nutrient balance and biological productivity in extremely nutrient-poor habitats. The Mackay Glacier region of Eastern Antarctica is a hyper-oligotrophic ice-free desert and is an appropriate landscape to evaluate the effects of nutrient deficiency and imbalance on microbial community ecology. In a survey of multiple, widely dispersed soil samples from this region, we detected only low rates of microbial respiration, and observed that C:N:P ratios were well below those required for optimal activity. In silico metagenomic and soil isotopic ratio (δ15N) analyses indicated that the capacity for nitrogen fixation was low, but that soil microbial communities were enriched for soil nitrate assimilation processes, mostly associated with heterotrophic taxa. δ13C isotope ratio data suggested that carbon dioxide was fixed principally via the Calvin cycle. Genes involved in this pathway were common to all metagenomes and were primarily attributed to members of the dominant soil bacterial phyla: Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria. The identification of multiple genes encoding non-photoautotrophic RUBISCO and carbon dioxide dehydrogenase enzymes in both the metagenomic sequences and assembled MAGs is suggestive of a trace-gas scavenging physiology in members of these soil communities.
Factors Affecting Acceptance of Mobile Health Insurance in Indonesia: TAM Applicability

In this paper, we are going to analyse factors that affect user acceptance for health insurance mobile application (app) using TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) framework. This research will involve some numbers of respondent which are the health insurance participant. They will have to complete a survey for our data that make us possible to determine the factors affecting acceptance of the application. We made the survey questions based on TAM framework and one factor that we proposed. The questions consist of factors related to users’ view of service availability, usefulness, ease of use, attitude toward users using the application and users’ behaviour intention to use the application. A total of 88 respondents in this research indicate that the factors we have significantly impacted the users’ behavior to have intention to use the mobile app of health insurance. However, the result from our research using TAM framework and statistical factor analysis shows the hypotheses from TAM framework PU (Perceive of usefulness) affects BI (Behavioral Intention) were not supported in this research.

The relationship between smoking and psychological distress among the White Applachian population: Using the 2007 HINTS survey

This study aims to examine the relationship between smoking behavior and serious psychological distress (SPD) in Appalachia, a region characterized as being “stressed” by the Appalachian Regional Commission, versus the rest of the U.S. outside of this region. A nationally representative, cross-sectional dataset from the 2007 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) was used, which contained a newly created Appalachia variable. The sociodemographic factors (age, sex, income, and education), known smoking status (never smokers, former smokers, and current smokers) number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD), smoking intensity (light, moderate, and heavy), and quit attempts among current smokers were all self-reported by the participants. SPD was used as the main outcome measure utilizing the clinically validated instrument, Kessler six-item Distress Scale (K6). Bivariate analyses and logistic regressions were used to examine associations between smoking behaviors in individuals with and without SPD. Interactions between the smoking variable of interest and Appalachia residence were used to detect if place of residence was a significant effect modifier in these associations. The results show that people who currently smoke were more likely to have SPD (POR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.15-3.20) and smoke more cigarettes per day (POR: 1.02, 95% CI: 1.011.04), however place of residence was not a significant modifying factor for either (p= 0.56 and p=0.62, respectively). No significant associations were found with smoking intensity and quit attempt status. Although the findings here are analogous to the strong evidence between current smoking and CPD with SPD, they do not provide significant evidence to the association being modified by residing in the Appalachia region.
The pattern of abnormalities on sperm analysis: A study of 1186 infertile male in Yasmin IVF clinic Jakarta

A declined in semen quality resulted an increase of male infertility has been reported. The pattern of abnormalities differs from one country to another. Conflicting results from different studies may be influenced by many factor. The aims are to evaluate the pattern of semen analysis of male partners of infertile couples and identify the current status of the contribution of male factor towards the infertility in our environment. The study is a descriptive analysis of the semen analysis of male partners in infertile couples, who were present at Yasmin IVF Clinic, infertility clinic of a Tertiary Care University Teaching Hospital between 1st January 2012 and 31st December 2015. A total of 1186 consenting male partners of infertile couple were recruited into the study. According to 2010 WHO normal reference values for semen parameters, 795 (67%) of patients were normozoospermia which had normal semen parameters and 391 (33%) patients had abnormal semen parameters. Oligozospermia was evident in 155 (39.5%) patients, being the most common disorder observed. It is followed by azoospermia (24.4%), oligoasthenozospermia (17.8%), asthenozospermia (5.9%), oligoasthenotera-tozospermia (5,7%), teratozospermia (2.6%), asthenoteratozospermia (2.8%), cryptozoospermia (0.8%), necrozospermia (0.3%), and oligoteratozospermia (0.3%). Abnormal semen quality remains a significant contribution to the overall infertility with oligozospermia being the most common semen quality abnormality. This condition is an indication for the need to focus on the prevention and management of male infertility. In addition, further studies are needed to address possible etiologies and treatment in order to improve fertility rates.
The Impact of Sickness Absenteeism on Firm Productivity: New Evidence from Belgian Matched Employer–Employee Panel Data

Using rich longitudinal matched employer&#8211;employee data for Belgium, we provide a first investigation of the impact of sickness absenteeism on firms&#8217; productivity. To do so, we estimate a production function augmented with a firm&#8208;level measure of sickness absenteeism that we constructed from worker&#8208;level information on nonworked hours due to illness or injury. We deal with the endogeneity of inputs and sickness absenteeism by applying a modified version of the semiparametric control function method developed by Ackerberg, Caves, and Fraser (2015), which explicitly takes firm fixed unobserved heterogeneity into account. Our main finding is that, in general, sickness absenteeism substantially dampens firms&#8217; productivity. However, further analyses show that the impact varies according to several workforce and firm characteristics. Sickness absenteeism is more detrimental to firm productivity when absent workers are high tenure or blue collar. Moreover, it is especially harmful to industrial, capital&#8208;intensive, and small enterprises. These findings are consistent with the idea that sickness absenteeism is more problematic when absent workers have in&#8208;depth firm&#8208;/task&#8208;specific knowledge, when the employees&#8217; work is highly interconnected (e.g., along the assembly line), and when firms face more organizational limitations in substituting absent workers.
