Investigation of the Effect of Needle Diameter and the Solution Flow Rate on Fiber Morphology in the Electrospinning Method
Authors: Gündüz Gonca Şimşek
Published: September 2023

In the study, the morphological properties of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers produced by electrospinning at different needle diameters and solution flow rates were investigated. For this purpose, 20G and 22G diameter needles were used. The fibres were produced at flow rates of 0.5 ml/hr, 1 ml/hr and 1.5 ml/hr. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to measure nanofiber diameters. Statistical analyzes were made with the help of the SPSS program. It was observed that finer fibers were obtained as the needle diameter decreased. As the solution flow rate increased, thicker fibers were obtained. In addition, it was observed that the needle diameter and flow rate affect the fiber arrangement and interfiber spacing.

Authors: Herisma Jhon , Diantimala Yossi , Saputra Mulia
Published: September 2023

AbstractObjective – This study aims to determine the effect of organizational commitment and work stress on auditor performance with locus control as a moderating variable in a banking institution.Design/methodology – The population and sample in this study were all internal auditors spread across all branch offices at Bank Sejahtera, totaling 33 people. Sources of data using primary data derived from distributing questionnaires to research respondents.Results – The results showed that the variables of organizational commitment, job stress, and locus of control simultaneously affect the performance of internal auditors. Then, organizational commitment has a positive effect on the performance of internal auditors. Furthermore, work stress has a negative effect on auditor performance. Locus of control has a positive effect on the performance of internal auditors. Next, locus of control strengthens the relationship between organizational commitment and internal auditor performance. Likewise, locus of control also strengthens the relationship between job stress and the performance of internal auditors.Research limitations/implications – This study is only conducted at one state-owned bank in Banda Aceh. Implementation at different banks with different management styles may show different results.Novelty/Originality – This research provides an empirical analysis about locus of control’s role in strengthening the relationship between organizational commitment and internal auditor performance as well as the relationship between job stress and the internal auditor performance.
Market Competition, Customer Concentration, Company Diversification, and Earnings Quality: Does Integrated Reporting Matter in an Emerging Market?
Authors: Bachtiar Muchamad Izaaz Hannun , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: September 2023

Objective – This study investigates the association between market competition, customer concentration, corporate diversification, and earnings quality and the role of integrated reporting in moderating these effects within Indonesia's emerging economy.Design/methodology – This study employs secondary data from the company’s annual reports and financial statements available at www.idx.co.id and the company website. The sample used in this study is 121 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2020, which were selected through the purposive sampling method so that 605 observations were obtained. This study engages two-panel data regression models.Results – The results suggest that market competition is negatively associated with earnings quality, while customer concentration and corporate diversification are not associated with earnings quality. Furthermore, integrated reporting strengthens the negative effect of corporate diversification on earnings quality. Meanwhile, integrated reporting fails to moderate the impact of market competition and customer concentration on earnings quality.Research limitations/implications – Measuring the integrated reporting index score based on the company's annual report, which follows the proxy adopted from the IR reporting framework. No other party has been able to confirm the index results, so the assessment is subjective.Novelty/Originality – This study combines the three variables in the context of a company's competitive strategy, which has rarely been conducted, especially in Indonesia. Also, this study employs different proxies, such as the customer concentration proxy referring to Abbasi (2020), Crawford et al. (2020), Deng and Yan (2019), and Kim (2021), in contrast to Aryotama and Firmansyah (2019) who tested tax aggressiveness in Indonesia

Authors: Wafa Fadhila Dhiyaul , Cahyanti Irni Sri , Muhsin Muhsin
Published: September 2023

Objective –This research aims to analyze the potential of Islamic securities crowdfunding as an effort to create Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with an al-Maqashid Sharia perspective.Methodology –This research uses qualitative descriptive research methods to obtain a description or overview of the potential of I-SCF for the Sustainable Development Goals based on the perspective of Maqashid Sharia. It utilizes a literature study with a Maqashid Sharia perspective as the main reference.Results –Numerous studies show that sharia securities crowdfunding has the potential to strengthen MSME capital in the post-Covid-19 pandemic era, expand access to Islamic financial services for the community, create a profitable investment sector, and strengthen the halal industry. These potentials lead to the values of the purpose of Maqashid Sharia, which include the five main benefits (al-kulliyah al-khamsah).Research limitations –This research is limited to I-SCF in Indonesia hence subsequent studies may conduct further research on I-SCF in other countries for the purpose of comparisons. It also uses a quality-descriptive method hence future research may use quantitative analysis methods to provide a more specific picture of the influence on the SDGs.Implications - This research is important for the development and utilization of the potential of I-SCF in Indonesia. The study of Maqashid sharia on I-SCF shows that practically, I-SCF has maximum benefits for society without abandoning compliance with Islamic law.

Board Composition and Non-Performing Loans among Commercial Banks in Tanzania
Authors: Budotela George , Mmari Goodluck , Towo Nathaniel
Published: September 2023

Objective – This paper investigates the effect of board composition on non-performing loans (NPLs) for a sample of 31 commercial banks in Tanzania.Design/methodology – A quantitative study methodology was employed using annual data covering the period of 2011-2020. The authors used a one-step generalised method of moments (GMM) approach to estimate the effect of board composition on the percentage growth of NPLs in Tanzania.Results – The paper concludes that the number of board members with financial expertise, the board size, the audit committee, and the presence of female directors significantly negatively impact the bank’s NPLs and hence aid in lowering the bank’s NPLs. In contrast, an increase in board size, lagged NPLs, credit committees, independent directors, board meetings, and advances in deposit ratio significantly increases the level of NPLs, which is consistent with the agency theory.Research Limitations/Implications – Inconsistencies in the reported variables from various databases during the study and afterwards, as well as a lack of data for some banks in specific years. Shareholders should actively establish good corporate governance in the commercial banks (CBs) they own to reduce NPLs at an acceptable rate of less than 5%. Also, the Central Banks of Tanzania should encourage CBs to implement effective corporate governance practices by enacting rules and regulations to reduce NPLs. To minimize loan losses, authorities should impose micro-prudential supervision on commercial banks’ lending behavior. Novelty/Originality – The paper includes bank size and ownership using a one-step difference and one-step system (GMM) approach to measure the effect, which is usually not the case with most studies.

Authors: Adnan Adnan , Abdullah Syukriy , Kamal Maulana
Published: September 2023

Objective –The objective of this study was to examine the factors that influence accruals manipulation in local government. There are 4 (four) factors or variables tested, namely the size of the local government, fiscal capacity, fiscal distress, and the size of the legislature.Design/Methodology –This research uses multiple linear regression analysis with the dependent variable accrual manipulation and four independent variables. The data used is secondary data obtained from financial reports.Results –The results of the analysis conclude that the variable size of local government and size of the legislature have an effect on accrual manipulation in district and city local governments in Aceh, while the other two variables, namely fiscal capacity and fiscal distress, have no effect.Research limitations/implications – This research only examines at the impact of local government size, fiscal capacity, fiscal distress, and legislator size on accrual manipulation in creating local government financial reports in Indonesia and it considers the implications for government financial reports.Novelty/Originality –The novelty in this research is to include the variable fiscal distress as one of the independent variables. Fiscal distress is a problem in fulfilling local government finances (budget), which is reflected in the budget deficit for several years in a row.
Does Cultural Pluralism Matter? Views from Experts Involved in the Production of Accounting Textbooks
Authors: Irsyadillah Irsyadillah , Raihani Raihani , Zulfadhli Zulfadhli , Lasyoud Alhashmi Aboubaker
Published: September 2023

Objective –The paper seeks to evaluate the perceptions and attitudes of individuals involved in the production of accounting textbooks about providing cultural pluralism in the textbooks.Methodology –This paper used semi-structured interviews with key actors of accounting textbook production, including translators, independent reviewers, adaptors, authors and commissioning editors. With one exception, all interviewees are also academics at universities. Results –The paper finds that accounting textbooks are cultural and political artifacts that reflect the the cultural, political, and ideological viewpoints of the powerful groups in the world. In other words, the textbook contents are the results of power domination. They have used accounting textbooks as powerful educational media to homogenise cultural and ethical values of accounting and accounting education to be solely based on Anglo-American capitalism. This has greatly affected the professionals involved in the textbook production. Therefore, it is not an urgent matter for them to incorporate diversity of perspectives into accounting textbooks used in Indonesia.Novelty/Originality –Although accounting research has explored the issues of accounting textbooks, such as the readability, price, selection, and use, studies that consider the political and cultural role of accounting textbooks especially from the perspective of individual involved in the textbook production are still scant. In particular, there is no research in Indonesia that presents the views of people who produce accounting textbooks regarding the content of their textbooks.

Authors: Bensaadi Iswadi , Adnan Adnan , Albra Wahyuddin
Published: September 2023

Objective – This study aims to examine the effect of profitability on leverage in firms with negative profits and the sensitivity of the COVID-19 pandemic in explaining the effect of profitability on leverage.Design/Methodology –This study uses unbalanced panel data for 660 firm-year observations over 4 (four) years from 2018 to 2021 on non-financial service firms. Two-stage least square regression was utilized to examine the effect of profitability on leverage.Results –Consistent with several previous studies, this study indicates that profitability negatively affects leverage and has similar results in firms with negative profits. Another finding is that the COVID-19 pandemic is not sensitive to explaining the effect of profitability on leverage. Both the pre-COVID-19 pandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic, profitability has a similar effect on leverage.Research limitations/implications –This study is conducted over a short period, only four years. The study provides a new perspective on the effect of profitability on leverage in companies with negative profits and the pecking order theory in explaining the relationship between profitability and leverage in the Indonesian context.Novelty/Originality –This study examines the effect of profitability on leverage in firms with negative and positive profits using a two-stage least square (2SLS) in the Indonesian context.
Company Size and Growth on Profitability: A Comparative Study in 5 ASEAN Countries
Authors: Santoso David , Hersugondo Hersugondo
Published: September 2023

Objective –This study investigates the correlation between a firm's size and its growth with respect to profitability. It subsequently incorporates various firm-specific variables, including leverage and asset tangibility, as well as macroeconomic indicators.Design/Methodology –Employing a quantitative research approach, this study utilizes annual data spanning the years 2017 to 2021. The research focuses on listed companies within the ASEAN region, namely Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Singapore. The primary data sources comprise the Bloomberg and COMPUSTAT Global databases. Using the fixed effect model, the study includes a total of 145 listed companies, resulting in 725 firm-year observations.Results –This study found that there is evidence of an insignificant negative relationship between size and profitability, while the relationship between growth and profitability is found to be positive and significant. This suggests that the phenomenon of economies of scale is still in place, but in the long run it might be replaced by the diseconomies of scale.Research limitations/implications – The study contributes to a nuanced understanding of relationships between variables within each country. However, the study does not use all companies from each respective country. Novelty/Originality –This study employs a unique methodology by drawing samples from five distinct ASEAN countries. It conducts an integrated analysis encompassing both a collective examination and individual assessments of these countries. By adopting such a comprehensive strategy, this research aims to provide a more holistic perspective on the intricate relationships under investigation.

Authors: Barreto Karoline Santos Gonçalves , Matias Maria Iraildes de Almeida Silva , Nogueira Narjara Walessa , De Freitas Rômulo Magno Oliveira
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The objective of this research was to evaluate the growth and production of anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum Lind.) irrigated with dilutions of treated domestic effluent (EDT), aiming to reduce the use of water and recycle the nutrients present in the effluent.
 
Theoretical framework: Faced with the scarcity and irregularity of rainfall in the Recôncavo da Bahia, it emphasizes the need and urgency in the search for alternative sources of water for irrigation, such as wastewater, with the potential to supply the water and nutritional demands of plants, especially those with less restriction, like ornamentals.
 
Method/design/approach: The experimental design was completely randomized, using five dilutions of EDT (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) in drinking water, with four replications. Plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, number of flowers and shoot dry mass were evaluated.
 
Results and conclusion: Plants irrigated with EDT dilutions and fertilized with 50% of the recommended nitrogen and potassium showed growth and production similar to plants irrigated with water supply and fertilized with 100% of the recommended mineral fertilizer, which allows recommending the use of EDT for irrigation of anthurium with 50% reduction of mineral fertilization.
 
Research implications: The results obtained reinforce the importance of taking advantage of the nutrient content present in the effluent, with the possibility of partially replacing mineral fertilizers, favoring savings in quality water and mineral fertilizers.
 
Originality/value: Savings of good quality water and mineral fertilizers, in addition to providing a safe destination for the effluent.

Background: Topical corticosteroids (TCS) are medications applied directly to the skin and are commonly used in dermatological clinical settings for various skin conditions. Despite their popularity, there is a growing fear of using these medications, with adverse effects such as weight gain, thinning of the skin, stunting of growth, and aging being among the reasons for steroid phobia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 160 randomly selected participants from the city of Riyadh, in June, July, and August 2023. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire published on social media. Ethical approval was obtained, and participants' anonymity and confidentiality were ensured. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences V.23, with a p value of 0.05 or less deemed statistically significant. Topical steroid phobia was evaluated using the TCS phobia (TOPICOP) scale.
Results: 70.6% of respondents were female; the most common age group was 21-29 years (79%), and 54% of participants had used TCSs previously. According to the TOPICOP scale, there was a statistically significant correlation between level of education and TCS phobia in addition to a significant number of participants (45%) felt afraid of using TCSs even though they admitted to not knowing any potential side effects.
Conclusion: TCSs phobia is a common problem among the general population of Riyadh, which is probably based on insufficient knowledge of TCSs. In order to improve patient compliance, healthcare professionals should focus on correcting misconceptions and educating patients on this group of medications.

Published: September 2023

AIM: To trace the epidemiological profile of newborns admitted to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in a region of the Brazilian Amazon. METHODS: Data were collected from 234 newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the studied department between June 15, 2019 and June 15, 2020. RESULTS: The data pointed to a prevalence of males with adequate weight for gestational age, with main diagnosis on admission of respiratory tract comorbidity and prematurity. In 57.03% of the blood cultures there was no bacterial growth, and when there was growth, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus was present in 20.27%. The death rate calculated in the period was 19.74%. Regarding the maternal profile, 52.36% had six or more prenatal consultations, 73.39% had cesarean section and 32.76% had diabetes and/or hypertension. CONCLUSION: The profile found in this study corroborates the literature, demonstrating a high rate of death and cesarean delivery, with possibly preventable causes with better maternal-fetal care during prenatal care, as assessed in the neonatal near miss. More studies are necessary in relation to the epidemiological profile in Neonatal Intensive Care Units in the northern region because the scarcity and insufficiency of epidemiological data in this region make it difficult to develop public actions aimed at improving the quality of care in Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

El desarrollo de los sistemas autónomos de armas letales, su fabricación, comercialización y uso en escenarios de conflicto armado, así como las reflexiones acerca del ejercicio de su comando y control en referencia a la imputación de responsabilidades por posibles violaciones al Derecho Internacional Humanitario derivados del mismo. Es importante determinar la regulación internacional de estos, los principios del ius cogens y las teorías jurídicas de imputación de responsabilidad. Al existir consecuencias y responsabilidades de unos sistemas autónomos que pueden ser autosuficientes, el Derecho Internacional Humanitario y la Corte Penal Internacional, deben trabajar en la regulación de los mismos, máxime cuando su letalidad e interoperabilidad viene mostrando un gran avance y una nueva forma de conflicto, evolucionado en el desarrollo armamentístico.

Thalassaemias are a heterogenous group of genetic heritable disorders of haemoglobin synthesis, considered as the most common monogenic disorder in the world. This study was conducted to find out the role of iron overload- without concomitant viral hepatitis -as a cause of liver dysfunction in patients with β-thalassaemia major. One hundred six (106) patients with homozygous β-thalassaemia major and forty four (44) apparently healthy subjects were analyzed at the Thalassaemic Centre of Ibn Al-Atheer hospital in Mosul city in Iraq for the assessment of liver functions as reflected by the serum levels of bilirubin, AST, ALT and ALP and iron status as reflected by serum ferritin. The mean pretransfusional Hb was (87.33±13.84 g/L and 85.85±13.21 g/L) for thalassaemic males and females respectively. All thalassaemic patients showed elevated serum ferritin with a mean level of (3799.30±2343.68 ng/ml and 4100.61±1977.28 ng/ml) for thalassaemic males and females respectively. A significant increase in the serum levels of AST, ALT, ALP and bilirubin was found in thalassaemic patients with respect to control subjects. Serum ferritin showed a significant positive correlation with ALT in male and female patients. Hepatomegaly was found in 71.70% of the studied cases. A significant alteration in liver functions of thalassaemic patients shown by changes in biochemical markers and hepatomegaly, both with the close association between elevated ALT and iron overload, necessate re-evaluation of transfusion, Desferal doses and therapies other than blood transfusion.

β-thalassemia is an inherited anemia, caused by impaired β-globin chain synthesis. The disease leads to serious health problems unless treated by regular blood transfusion and iron chelating therapy. However, complications from continuous therapy may arise due to iron overload and toxicity of iron chelating therapy, it may affects many organs in the body including the renal system. The present study was directed to study the changes in conventional renal function tests that may occur in β-thalassemia patients. The present study consisted of two groups of β-thalassemia patients; group A, 40 transfusion dependent β-thalassemia patients receiving only regular blood transfusion, age ranged 1-4 years; Group B, 40 transfusion dependent β- thalassemia patients receiving regular blood transfusion and deferroxamine chelation therapy, age ranged 4-20 years old. In addition to a control group C, 40 subjects, age ranged 1-20 years. Blood samples were collected and serum was separated for measurement of creatinine, urea, and ferritin. Urine samples were also collected for measurement of microalbuminuria. There was a significant decrease in serum creatinine, and a significant increase in serum urea in group B when compared with their control (P≤0.01). In addition, there was a significant increase in serum ferritin in groups A and B when compared with their controls (P≤0.01). On the other hand, there were no significant changes in microalbuminuria between groups A and B when compared with their controls. The results of the present study showed no deterioration in renal functions in β-thalassemia patients in both groups A and B regarding serum creatinine and urea in addition to microalbuminuria, although, subclinical alteration in renal functions could be expected in those patients, so that measurement of other early markers of renal dysfunction is occasionally recommended.

Published: September 2023

A simple, sensitive and accurate spectrophotometric method of determination of trimethoprim (TMP) in pure form and pharmaceutical formulation. The method is based on the formation of (TMP) complex. The reaction between of the trimethoprim with the mixture of metol and potassium hexacyanoferrate (ΙΙΙ) was evaluated for the spectrophotometric determination of the trimethoprim. The maximum absorbance of the colored complex occurred at λ=540nm. Reaction conditions have been optimized to obtain (TMP) complex of high sensitivity and longer stability. Under optimum conditions the absorbance of the (TMP) complex where found to increase linearly with increase in concentration of the trimethoprim, which corroborated with correlation coefficient value. The concentration ranges are 10-100 µg mL-1 with detection limit 0.0286 µg mL-1 and relative standard deviation 0.74 % and relative error of prediction for drug were lower . The proposed method was successfully applied to determine of the selected trimethoprim in pure form and pharmaceutical formulations with good precision and accuracy compared to standard method as revealed by t- and F- values and the results obtained agree well with the labeled contents.

Authors: Farouk Al- Omari Alyaa
Published: September 2023

Tympanic membrane(TM) perforation is one of the most common causes of hearing impairment. Apart from conduction of sound waves across the middle ear, the tympanic membrane, also sub-serves a protective function to the middle ear cleft and round window niche. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of the site of the tympanic membrane perforation on hearing. Seventy-eight patients with perforated tympanic membranes were included in the study.They all have TM perforation due to recurrent or chronic otitis media. Patients with traumatic TM perforation were excluded from the study. There were 47 males (46.5%) and 54 females (53.5%). Twenty patients had left ear perforation, 35 patients had right ear perforation, and 23 patients had bilateral perforations. Each ear was taken as a case, so the total number of the perforated ear drums was 101. The age ranged from 13- 56 with the mean of age was (31.64 ± 13.249) years. The TM perforation was examined and photo image was taken with the aid of the endoscope. Controls were 55 patients with a mean age 30.73 ±12.09 (range 14-53) years. Male controls were 34 (61.8%), and 21 female controls (38.2%). There is a positive correlation between site of TM perforation and hearing level, air bone gap, low frequency hearing level and high frequency hearing level. As a conclusion, there is a positive relationship between the site of TM perforation and hearing level being more in the posterior-superior and inferior parts.
