Published: August 2022

O mel é um produto alimentício produzido pelas abelhas melíferas, a partir do néctar das flores ou de excreções de insetos sugadores de plantas, que as abelhas recolhem, transformam, combinam com substâncias específicas próprias, armazenam e deixam maturar nos favos da colmeia. A maioria dos méis são oferecidos sem registro, controle e fiscalização, o que facilita a adulteração do produto. Este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar e avaliar características físico-químicas do mel de abelhas do gênero Apis melífera produzido e comercializado na cidade de Frei Martinho-PB. As duas amostras foram coletadas diretamente do apiário Boa Sorte em dois períodos diferentes, janeiro e março de 2022. Foram realizadas análises físico-químicas nas amostras 1 e 2, a fim de verificar a acidez, atividade de água, hidroximetilfurfural (HMF), umidade, Brix e cor. As amostras analisadas estavam com atividade de água, acidez, umidade, Brix dentro do padrão preconizado pela literatura. O teor de HMF nas amostras estava abaixo do valor máximo preconizado, indicando que não houve adulteração ou superaquecimento dos méis analisados. Referente à cor, ambas as amostras foram coletadas em períodos diferentes, e, devido ao tipo de florada predominante na época, possuem colorações diferentes. A partir dos resultados, conclui-se que o mel está apto a ser comercializado e consumido.

Microbial inactivation using only Ultrasound (US) vibrations presents considerable advantages by applying green techniques with non-generation of greenhouse gases, eliminating chemicals, and operating conditions close to environmental conditions. However, industrial effluent treatment systems have been investigated as a microbial inactivation step, using isolated US associated with thermal (T) and manometric (P) microbial inactivation techniques. A stainless-steel bench prototype was built for the present study, operating in continuous mode, with a 2.5 L volume test chamber. The indicator microorganism detected in the effluent of a hospital laundry located in the Agreste region of the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, was the E. coli bacterium. In addition to the isolated US effect, US/T, US/P, and US/T/P combinations were obtained using a central composite design (CCD). The factors used for the CCD were frequency, hydraulic detention time, temperature, and pressure. The results showed that the lethality rate increased with the frequency and time of hydraulic detention but was reduced when increasing temperature from 30°C to 50°C and increasing pressure between 1.0 bar and 1.8 bar. Isolated ultrasonic vibrations, at 120 kHz and with 10-minute HRT, reached an inactivation efficiency of 98%. Such a value was found using the thermomannosonic condition around 40 min. The use of the isolated US vibration technique proved advantageous, mainly due to the efficient inactivation results and potential energy and chemical reductions.

Objective. The aim of the study is to analyze the microbiota of the maxillary sinus of sheep as a viable biome to carry out experimental studies of biomaterials. Materials-Methods. 13 sheep (eight in isolation and five loose created) were used, making 26 maxillary sinuses, where swabs were performed by an extra-oral approach for microbiological analysis. Statistical tests such as Fisher's exact test, Mann Whitney U test, chi-square test, and proportional means were used in the experiment. Results. Only eight maxillary sinuses had positive bacterial growth. The presence of Staphylococcus aureus was statistically significant relative to other microorganisms found. On the other hand, among the animals in isolation and those raised loose, there was no statistically significant difference in the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. Conclusion. Staphylococcus aureus is the predominant bacteria in the maxillary sinus of this experimental model. The difference in environment and feeding did not influence the microbiota of the maxillary sinus.

A enxaqueca pode ser uma condição debilitante que confere um fardo substancial ao indivíduo afetado e à sociedade. Apesar dos avanços significativos no manejo médico desse distúrbio desafiador, dados clínicos revelaram uma proporção de pacientes que não respondem adequadamente à intervenção farmacológica e permanecem sintomáticos. Informações recentes sobre a patogênese da enxaqueca argumentam contra uma causa vasogênica central e fundamentam um mecanismo periférico envolvendo nervos craniofaciais comprimidos que contribuem para a geração da enxaqueca. Assim, a injeção de toxina botulínica é uma abordagem de tratamento relativamente nova com eficácia demonstrada e suporta um mecanismo periférico, e os pacientes que falham no tratamento médico ideal e experimentam melhora da dor de cabeça após a injeção em locais anatômicos específicos podem ser considerados aptos para cirurgia subsequente para descomprimir os nervos periféricos aprisionados. Portanto, a cirurgia de enxaqueca é uma perspectiva empolgante para pacientes adequadamente selecionados que sofrem de enxaqueca e continuará a ser um campo florescente repleto de oportunidades de investigação.

Published: August 2022

Argumentation facilitates students’ cognitive activities as they construct scientific knowledge. Studies related to the relationship between conceptual knowledge and argumentation skills in biology learning, especially in animal physiology courses, are still rarely carried out. The primary aim of this study was to determine the correlation between students’ mastery of biology concepts and argumentation skills. A correlational research design was employed. The research sample consisted of 106 fourth semester Biology Education students. The students’ mastery of biology concepts and argumentation skills were evaluated using valid and reliable instruments. Conceptual knowledge measured in this study refers to students’ ability to explain their responses to essay tests on cognitive concepts. Besides, this study also assessed students’ ability to participate in scientific debates and compose written arguments based on the Toulmin's Argumentation Pattern (TAP) framework. This study indicates an association between students’ grasp of biology concepts and their argumentation skills in the ADI class. The regression equation derived from the data analysis is y = 0.608x + 39.05 with a reliability value of 0.179. Meanwhile, there is no strong correlation between conceptual knowledge and argumentation skills in RQA, ADI-Integrated RQA, or traditional classes. This can be influenced by a variety of factors, including students’ inability to adapt and adjust rapidly to the steps introduced into the learning models. Improving argumentation quality can be accomplished through the use of active and innovative learning models or strategies.

Does Audit Committee Moderate the Relationship Between Auditor Independence and Earnings Management During Initial Implementation of MFRS in Malaysia?
Authors: Damien Iung Yau Lee  , Lian Kee Phua
Published: August 2022

This paper presents an evaluation of auditor independence concerns against the backdrop of current Malaysian corporate financial scandals by examining the relationship between auditor independence and earnings management, and the role of audit committees in overseeing auditor independence. The study used 1,035 firm-year data in the main market of Bursa Malaysia from 2012 to 2014 and employed multivariate regression analyses. The results revealed that when non-audit fees and total fees were higher, it could reduce the auditor’s independence as higher fees can create economic dependency on his clients. This study found that audit committee size and the frequency of meetings were positively related to earnings management. When testing the audit committee moderation on auditor independence, the study found that audit committee size and its frequency of meetings weaken the positive relationships between lower auditor independence and earnings management. These findings help regulators and professional bodies think about the impact of audit and NAS fees on auditor independence and the audit committee's oversight responsibility. To assess auditor independence, companies should form a fully independent audit committee in accordance with the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2021 (Securities Commission of Malaysia, 2021).
Do Analysts’ EPS Forecasts Obey Benford’s Law? An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Clarence Goh
Published: August 2022

Benford’s law gives the expected frequencies of digits in tabulated data. In this study, I investigate the extent to which a sample of analysts’ earnings per share (EPS) forecasts obey Benford’s law. I conduct Benford’s law’s second digit and last-two digits tests on a sample of analyst EPS forecasts of S&P 500 firms from 1998 to 2018. Overall, I find that analysts’ EPS forecasts obey Benford’s law’s second digit test but do not obey the last-two digits test. These findings suggest that while analysts do not engage in number invention, they do engage in rounding when making EPS forecasts.
Comparison of Stock Selection Methods: An Empirical Research On The Borsa Istanbul
Authors: Ali Sezin Ozdemir  , Kaya Tokmakcioglu
Published: August 2022

This paper compares the performances of stock selection methods developed by artificial neural network (ANN), second order stochastic dominance (SSD), and Markowitz portfolio optimization by generating annual portfolios whose stocks are selected from several types of indexes traded in the Borsa Istanbul. Daily returns in SSD and Markowitz, and annual ratios in ANN models, are taken as inputs, with the following annual returns as outputs. By the perspective of stock selection literature, this study carries unique value for including comparisons of these methods with the purpose of generating portfolios with higher returns. Thus, two questions emerge: "Are these methods able to overcome losses during financial crises and bear or bull periods, and can they provide positive alpha?" Results indicate that average returns of portfolios generated by ANN are relatively higher than SSD and Markowitz, but all three models provide positive alpha over indexes. However, none of the models could overcome negative returns during economic crises.

Published: August 2022

This study explores the influence of dispositional dimension of trust, including propensity to trust, faith in humanity, and trust stance in the banking sector. The research was performed in banks located within the Sokoto metropolis, Nigeria. A questionnaire was distributed to 500 account holders from 10 commercial banks, where respondents were allowed to pick their preferences on the basis of a 5-point Likert scale, and an analysis was carried out using PLS-SEM version 3.2. The findings indicated that propensity to trust, such as experience acquired overtime, religious belief, and positive feelings; faith in humanity, such as dependability, suitability, and confidentiality; and trust stance, such as reliability and quality of information delivered to individual positively influence customer interaction with the banking sector. The findings raise awareness to the bank executive and policymakers of factors influencing customer confidence in a bank and also contribute to retaining and attracting them within the system.

Published: August 2022

This study aims to examine the role of organisational support as a moderator in the relationship between emotional intelligence, job engagement, and the work-life balance of Malaysian lecturers. A quantitative approach with a structured questionnaire was used for data collection and it was distributed to the randomly selected population of lecturers via their respective emails. The sample of this study consisted of 132 lecturers from public and private universities in Malaysia. Descriptive statistics and statistical inference were conversant in analysing the correlation and multiple regression using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.0. The finding concludes that an increase in emotional intelligence and job engagement further increases the ability of the lecturer to achieve a good work-life balance. The results also indicate that organisational support does not affect the relationship between emotional intelligence, job engagement, and work-life balance. Besides, the study failed to find the influence of organisational support as a moderator on the work-life balance among lecturers in Malaysia. The implication of the study is crucial for institutions and management to be alert to the situational needs of the lecturers to ensure work and life expectations are optimised without ignoring other variables.
Exploring the Intention to Cheat Among Undergraduate Students through the Lens of the Theory of Planned Behaviour
Authors: Mohd Yusoff Yusliza  , Olawole Fawehinmi  , Nik Hazimah Nik Mat  , Monizaihasra Mohamed
Published: August 2022

The escalation of academic dishonesty cases is becoming alarming. This study uses the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and conscientiousness as an antecedent of the intention to cheat. Data were collected through electronic and paper forms. Partial least squares path modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the responses from 917 undergraduate students in a Malaysian public university. The results support that conscientiousness is a valid predictor of the intention to cheat among students. Further, the three constructs of the TPB, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, and attitude, significantly mediated the conscientiousness-intention to cheat relationship. Researchers are encouraged to test the model in private universities and other countries. This study is the first to study the intention to cheat among undergraduate students in Malaysia using conscientiousness as an antecedent of the TPB model.
