Published: August 2023

Chronic wounds and lesions have a severe impact on the socioeconomic status and compliance of patients all over the world. Diabetes-related chronic, non-healing lesions may necessitate amputation of the damaged limb or organ. These skin lesions are susceptible to microorganisms that cause infections that impede the healing process. Despite the advances in medication development and sophisticated formulations, treating persistent wound infections remains difficult. Electrospun antimicrobial wound dressings offer considerable potential for lowering the risk of infection and accelerating the healing of chronic wounds. Electrospinning is a cost-effective, reproducible, simple, and multifaceted technique for encapsulating hydrophobic and hydrophilic therapeutic molecules within polymeric carriers with wide-ranging applications. In this review, we have discussed extensively the recent advances in electrospun nanofiber formulation techniques for use as wound dressings, as well as the entrapment of various antibacterial biomolecules, such as synthetic antibiotics, phytoconstituents, and metal nanoparticles, which have been embedded into the electrospun nano-fibers, highlighting bioactive antibacterial agents capable of enhancing wound healing. In addition, we focus on the challenges currently being faced in the area of biomedicine as well as the opportunities for electrospinning-based nanomaterials.

Published: August 2023

The study aims to find a key to the problem of managing cultural heritage systems in the example of the Temnikov-Sanaksar cluster located in Eastern Europe. This area is situated between the forest-steppe of the layered-tier Volga upland and the forest geosystems of the layered Oka-Don lowland. The article applies an interdisciplinary approach to solving the problem of optimizing inter-component relationships in the meta-geosystems of tourist and recreational clusters. The sustainable development of meta-geosystems should be based on multifactorial information support, which implements the most important condition for the effective economic development of landscapes through the formation of the regions’ spatial data infrastructure. In order to consistently optimize meta-geosystems of different hierarchical levels, it is necessary to solve several emerging issues, such as assessing the strength and nature of inter-component connections in geosystems, determination of factors describing the territorial variation of the properties of geosystems, interpreting and substantiation the semantics of the selected basic factors.
Decadal Remote Sensing Analysis of Seagrass Changes in Palu Bay, Central Sulawesi
Authors: Tis'in Musayyadah , Ambo-Rappe Rohani , Supriadi Supriadi , Faizal Ahmad
Published: August 2023

Seagrass meadows provide a variety of material, non-material and regulatory coastal ecosystem service; however, as the distribution of seagrass beds changes over time due to both anthropogenic activities and natural factors,  it is important to monitor changes in seagrass condition. Seagrass meadows in Palu Bay are threatened by activities such as coastal development and land reclamation. Additionally, the bay was hit by a significant tsunami in 2018, which could have impacted ecosystems in the bay, including seagrass meadows. The aim of this study was to detect changes in seagrass extent and distribution over a 10-year period from 2012 to 2022 and changes in land use over approximately a decade (2010 and 2021) through the use of remote sensing technology. Changes in eagrass meadow areal extent were analyzed using data from a 2012 Landsat 7 Satellite Data Acquisition and a 2022 Landsat 8 Satellite Data Acquisition. Water column correction was implemented using the Lyzenga Algorithm. The results showed a significant decrease in the area of seagrass meadows around the coastal area of Palu Bay. Seagrass meadows in 2012 and 2022 covered 127.08 Ha and 87.79 Ha, respectively, indicating a decrease in extent of 43.29 Ha. As the accuracy of the satellite data classification results was 80%, the results are considered acceptable. Anthropogenic activities (mainly mining and construction related) are strongly suspected as the main drivers of this decline, while earthquake and tsunami events likely aggravated the degradation  of coastal ecosystems in Palu Bay, including seagrass meadows.

La tecnología es fundamental en el desarrollo de procesos electorales. Este factor tuvo incidencia en los comicios de 2014 en Colombia, especialmente en la transparencia de la gestión electoral (GE). El objetivo de este artículo fue proponer lineamientos de gestión tecnológica (GT) enfocados en el escrutinio electoral, donde se definen los resultados de las elecciones populares. La metodología seguida fue de tipo cualitativo y con un enfoque interpretativista, orientado al entendimiento de la unidad de estudio desde la administración, de forma complementaria a sus bases jurídicas y políticas. Se desarrolló en cuatro fases, empleando en las dos primeras de revisión documental y análisis de contenidos de fuentes de información actual sobre el escrutinio en Colombia, para desarrollar un análisis DOFA de este proceso, como base para generar, en la tercera fase, una propuesta de gestión tecnológica para el escrutinio, validada por medio de juicio de expertos en la cuarta fase. El diagnóstico evidenció debilidades como falta de control y tercerización, que impactan en la integridad, transparencia y legitimidad de las elecciones, pero también fortalezas en cuanto a disponibilidad de herramientas informáticas y certificaciones de calidad. La propuesta de GT está conformada por seis etapas: identificación de necesidades tecnológicas para la transparencia del escrutinio, selección del rumbo tecnológico, acceso a la tecnología, protección, explotación y mejora continua. Se concluye que la implementación de tecnología debe enlazarse con una visión sistemática y estratégica al interior de procesos como el escrutinio electoral para garantizar transparencia y aportar a la integridad electoral. Esta propuesta constituye una hoja de ruta hacia la implantación progresiva de medidas de transparencia, trazabilidad, seguridad y auditabilidad, en concordancia con la modernización normativa y de gestión, para mitigar deficiencias históricas con efectos críticos, y busca ser referente de mejora y credibilidad de la gestión de las elecciones y la democracia en Colombia.

Published: August 2023

This study focuses on the communication effect of policy on social
media. We identify the underlying communication process and construct a
communication effect evaluation framework, incorporating the following
dimensions: interaction, emotion and attitude, theme, and innovation
values. We conduct a case study of ‘Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation
policy’ in China via Sina Weibo. It was found that government units are
the most important nodes in the communication and interaction network,
although ordinary users are more active. While audiences’ themes of
interest are included in the policy content, they are more concerned
with policy practice rather than policy content. Audiences’ innovation
and entrepreneurship value systems are in the initial stage of
establishment. Additionally, college students from Fuzhou University are
very active in the interaction on policy topics.

Authors: Eren Ayşe , Bekler Fatma , Güven Kemal
Published: August 2023

Bacterial strains D11, E1 and E2 isolated from petroleum-contaminated soils were found to be members of Acinetobacter genus revealed by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and phenotypic characteristics. After incubation for 5 days, about 43, 9 and 12 % of total petroleum hydrocarbons of crude oil were degraded by strains D11, E1 and E2, respectively, and determined by GC?MS analysis. Moreover, about 70 and 76 % of single hydrocarbon hexadecane was degraded by the strains D11 and E1 after 3 days of short incubation time, respectively, while the strain E2 degraded about 48 % of single hydrocarbon pentadecane. By using PCR-based method, gene sequences of the strains D11 and E2 showed similarity to alkane 1-monooxygenases from Acinetobacter sp. BUU8 alkM with 93.06 and 92.72 %, respectively, while the sequence similarity of strain E1 was 95.84 % to Acinetobacter sp. 826659.

Forecast Rounding, Forecast Uncertainty, Managers’ Language, and Investors’ Judgments
Authors: Buchanan Jessica L. , Piercey M. David
Published: August 2023

We investigate how rounded (e.g., 10 percent) versus unrounded (e.g., 9.73 percent, 10.00 percent, or 10.27 percent) sales growth forecasts impact investor judgment. We hypothesize that investors are more willing to invest in a company when the degree of rounding matches the amount of forecast uncertainty (i.e., rounded forecasts in more uncertain environments and unrounded forecasts in less uncertain environments). We also hypothesize that managers can offset the negative impact of a mismatch between forecast rounding and forecast uncertainty by using more immediate language in their forecasts. In a first experiment using M.B.A. students as investors, we find a combination of support and partial support for our hypotheses. However, in a second experiment using online workers and a third experiment using M.B.A. students, we fail to find support for our hypotheses. Overall, we fail to find replicable effects of forecast rounding, forecast uncertainty, and language immediacy on investors’ judgments.
The Impact of Internal Governance on Conservatism: Evidence from Australia
Authors: Liew Millie , Cao June
Published: August 2023

Financial reporting decisions can be influenced by the distribution of executive decision-making power. We examine whether internal governance, the process through which the power to make decisions is distributed between CEOs and their subordinates, can influence the level of conservatism in such decisions. We show that firms with better internal governance are more conservative. We also find that the effect is more pronounced for firms with less powerful and older CEOs, those with subordinate executives who contribute more, and those who are more mature. We conduct various tests that confirm the robustness of our results. Unlike other studies that focus only on CEOs, we examine how the top management team as a group and the power distribution between CEOs and key subordinates shape financial reporting quality. Our study can inform various stakeholders, including firms aiming to appoint executives and strengthen their internal governance.

Tax Avoidance and Firm Risk: New Insights from a Latent Class Mixture Model
Authors: Hutchens Michelle , Rego Sonja O. , Williams Brian
Published: August 2023

We examine the relations between tax avoidance and two components of firm risk (priced risk and idiosyncratic risk) using latent class mixture models. OLS regressions suggest that tax avoidance is negatively related to both priced risk and idiosyncratic risk. However, results from latent class mixture models reveal that 35.6 (58) percent of the sample exhibits a significant positive association between tax avoidance and priced (idiosyncratic) risk and firm characteristics are strikingly different across the latent classes. We use these differences to develop parsimonious models to predict latent class assignments, which we then use to demonstrate that firms predicted to have a positive relation between tax avoidance and priced risk or idiosyncratic risk have more negative future tax outcomes, including higher relative cash tax rate volatility, larger additions to tax reserves, larger payouts to tax authorities, and more negative tax-related news coverage over the following three years.

Municipal Bond Credit Rating Access and Retail Investors’ Transaction Costs
Authors: Zhang Vincent
Published: August 2023

In 2010, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board proposed a rule change requiring the display of current credit ratings on the EMMA website, a centralized repository of municipal bond information. Before the rule change, current credit ratings were freely available on individual rating agencies’ websites or on EMMA if municipalities provided relevant continuing disclosures, making it unclear whether the rule change would benefit investors. A difference-in-differences analysis reveals the rule change is associated with a 6–8 basis-point decrease in investor transaction costs. This effect is concentrated among the intended beneficiaries (retail investors) when credit risk information demand is high (long-maturity bonds) and current credit rating information on EMMA is low (no continuing disclosure of rating changes was provided on EMMA). The rule change appears to have helped retail investors become aware of current credit ratings by filling a disclosure gap on EMMA for municipalities without continuing disclosures of rating changes.

Published: August 2023

La congestión vehicular, resultado del tráfico en constante aumento en las grandes ciudades en crecimiento, se ha convertido en un problema de carácter social, agravado tanto por las obras en curso en las vías urbanas como por la falta de señalización. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el Nivel de Servicio en los flujos vehiculares de las intersecciones urbanas de la vía PE-1S mediante la microsimulación utilizando el software Synchro Trafficware, para el cual, se realizaron aforos vehiculares en la zona durante tres días, con una duración continua de 12 horas cada día. Posteriormente, se procesó y se llevó a cabo la microsimulación en un escenario actual y un escenario futuro de las intersecciones debido a los altos niveles de congestión vehicular que se generan. Los resultados obtenidos revelaron que, en el escenario actual, el nivel de servicio en las intersecciones se clasifica como C y F, con tiempos de demora de 31.4 y 267.5 segundos respectivamente. En el escenario futuro, los niveles de servicio se clasificaron como F y F, con tiempos de demora de 81.7 y 103.3 segundos respectivamente. En conclusión, el nivel de servicio determinado en la zona de estudio muestra un alto índice de congestión vehicular. Se prevé que en el futuro esta congestión sea incontrolable, lo que causará incomodidad para los usuarios. Por lo tanto, se recomienda como alternativas óptimas de mejora la implementación de incrementos de carril y direccionamiento exclusivo de giro en la zona, con lo cual se optimiza a niveles de servicio C y D.

This study has two aims: to determine the spatial distribution of multi-hazard levels and to discover the interactions, interdependencies, and effects that cascade among hazards in Gunungkidul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. A multi-hazard map was created with a scale of 1:250,000 and modelled using SMCE (Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation). The conditioning factors used included slope, rainfall, historical data, river distance, geomorphology, land cover, lithology, and fault distance. The selected conditioning factors for each hazard were then weighted using weighted overlay analysis. The results showed that the area of Gunungkidul can be included in the high-risk category for floods, since the probability of flooding is 56.72%, the probability of landslides is 9.14%, that of drought is 48.86%, and that of seismic disturbance is 20.83%. (Multi-hazard maps are created by overlaying flood, landslide, seismic, and drought hazard maps.) After these risk factors were calculated, the regions on the multi-hazard map were re-categorized into five hazard classes. All areas in Gunungkidul Regency have multiple hazards, with risk factors of different magnitudes. The interaction between hazards can generate new hazards that are called cascading hazards. The cascading hazards in the study area are most likely to occur in the north of Gunungkidul Regency with its very high seismic and landslide hazard risk factors, due to the geological and geomorphological conditions of the Baturagung Structural Hills.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRAKKasus human trafficking yang terjadi di Indonesia bukanlah hal baru lagi, kejadian tersebut terjadi di beberapa tempat dan telah memakan banyak korban jiwa yang juga merupakan para TKI yang bekerja di luar negeri. Indonesia bukan hanya sebagai negara sumber dalam perdagangan manusia melainkan juga sebagai negara transit dan tujuan dari human trafficking. Tentunya hal ini sangat meresahkan dan mengkhawatirkan dimana pengertian dari human trafficking atau perdagangan manusia itu sendiri sangat menakutkan, yaitu perdagangan manusia yang memiliki tujuan untuk kerja paksa dan perbudakan seksual atau eksploitasi seksual komersial bagi pedagang atau orang lain. Oleh karena itu, dalam menangani kasus human trafficking di Indonesia diperlukan peran dari organisasi non pemerintah atau biasa disebut dengan Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM) yaitu International Organization for Migration (IOM) dalam membantu mengatasi perdagangan manusia di Indonesia.

Indonesia is not only a source country in human trafficking but also as a transit country and a destination for human trafficking. Of course, this is very disturbing and worrying where the notion of human trafficking or human trafficking itself is very scary, namely human trafficking which has the purpose of forced labor and sexual slavery or commercial sexual exploitation for traffickers or other people. Therefore, in dealing with human trafficking cases in Indonesia, the role of non-governmental organizations or commonly referred to as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), namely the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is needed in helping to overcome human trafficking in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze how the role that can be taken by non-governmental organizations, one of which is IOM and the role of social workers in dealing with the issue of human trafficking. IOM has actively contributed to Indonesia's efforts to combat trafficking in persons by providing assistance and protection to victims and providing repatriation and recovery assistance.

The purpose of this study was to lymphoscintigraphically assess the effect of skin mobilization, nonspecific massage, and manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) on the root of the lower limb in patients with lower limb lymphedema. Lower limb root lymphoscintigraphical exams of 80 patients with lower limb lymphedema were analyzed. All patients underwent our stand 3 phase protocol and then were subjected to the 4th phase which included 3 subphases. Images were taken directly after the injection (subphase 1), after pinching and stretching the injection site (subphase 2), after nonspecific massage was applied to the injected site (subphase 3) and after manual lymphatic drainage of the injected site (subphase 4). The number of opened lymphatic pathways was analyzed and compared after and between each subphase (SP). SP 1 displayed open lymphatic pathways in 22 of the 80 cases (27.5%). SP 2 displayed newly opened lymphatic pathways in 48 of the 80 cases (60.0%). SP 3 displayed newly opened lymphatic pathways in 57 of the 80 cases (71.3%). Only 9 of these 57 cases did not show improvement following the next SP. SP 4 displayed newly opened lymphatic pathways in 60 of the 80 cases (75.1%). MLD improved the visualization of the lymphatic pathways in 48 cases (60%) compared to phase 3. MLD was the only technique to allow visualization of the lymphatic drainage at the level of the root of the edematous limb in 6 cases (7.5%). Physical therapy leads to a greater number of lymphatic collaterals opening in a region where no other complex decongestive therapy technique can be applied.

There is little information on the risk for catheter-related thrombosis in patients with upper limb lymphedema following breast cancer treatment. We investigated the association between upper limb lymphedema and the risk of peripherally inserted central catheterrelated thrombosis (PICC-RT) occurring in the contralateral limb of patients with breast cancer. A retrospective review analyzed all patients with breast cancer who underwent PICC insertion at a cancer hospital in Hunan Province from 2015 to 2019. Upper limb lymphedema was indexed from hospital information system (HIS) before the occurrence of PICC-RT developed in the contralateral limb. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of factors with outcome. A total of 1,262 patient records were found and 50 cases of PICC-RT were identified. Forty of these occurred in patients without lymphedema (n=1,236) and 10 in patients with upper limb lymphedema (n=26). After adjustment for various co-variables, Cox regression analysis showed that upper limb lymphedema was significantly associated with increased risk of PICC-RT (hazard ratio=12.128, 95% confidence interval=5.551-26.501; P<0.001). In breast cancer patients, upper limb lymphedema may be an important predictor for PICC-RT in the contralateral limb and information should be provided to patients.
