The Influence of Financial Distress, Audit Firm Size, and Company Size on the Acceptance of Going Concern Opinions
Authors: Fachriyah Nurul , Laily Anggraeni Octadila
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the factors influencing the acceptance of going concern opinions (GCOs) among real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period from 2018 to 2021. The primary aim is to explore the relationship between financial distress, audit firm size, and company size with the issuance of GCOs. Employing a qualitative research design, the analysis utilizes financial statement data to explore the relationships between financial distress, company size, and audit firm size on GCO issuance. The findings reveal that financial distress, as measured by the Altman Z-score, significantly increases the likelihood of receiving a GCO. Additionally, company size, represented by total assets, positively correlates with GCO acceptance, indicating that auditors are more likely to scrutinize larger firms. In contrast, the study finds no significant effect of audit firm size on GCO acceptance, suggesting that the financial conditions of the companies themselves are the primary determinants of auditor decisions regarding GCOs. These insights highlight the importance of financial health and transparency in maintaining stakeholder confidence in the real estate sector. The research contributes to the understanding of audit dynamics within Indonesia's real estate market and provides implications for corporate governance and regulatory frameworks. Future studies are encouraged to examine the qualitative aspects of the audit process and the decision-making criteria of auditors concerning GCO issuance.

This study   unveil the value chain analysis of selected African indigenous vegetables in Mezam division, Cameroon. Both primary and secondary data sources were used. Data were obtained from a convenience sample of participants from four sub-Divisions in Mezam Division. That is Bamenda I, II, III and Tubah Sub-Divisions. Primary data was collected among 300 producers in the Mezam division using a well-structured questionnaire through random sampling. Ratios and descriptive statistics were used to estimate the result. Results revealed that most commonly grown indigenous vegetables were fluted pumpkin (23.7%), garden egg (19.0%), bitter leaf (14.7%), huckle berry (12.6%), water leaf (8.0%), and Amarantha (6.3%). Also, the findings revealed that, value chain actors identified were; input suppliers, chain facilitators, producers, wholesalers, retailers, collectors, processors and consumers. To add, through focus group discussions, each value chain actor was identified to perform unique roles in the value chain of AIVs with the input supplier supplying the producers with agricultural inputs and they are easy to access. The study equally shows that difficulties in accessing the facilitators limits the flow of market information. The study recommends that, to strengthen the interaction among the value chain actors, rules have to be develop that bind the relationship between producers and traders most especially positive attitudes toward partnership, interaction, networking and information flow needs to be developed among the main actors in the value chain. This will help the chain actor’s work in an integrated way to improve production, reduce post-harvest losses, and to strengthen sustainable market linkage in Mezam Division.

Published: January 2025

The study was conducted to investigate the utilization of kitchen food wastes supplemented with graded levels of garlic as feed additive on growth performance, carcass characteristics and blood profile of growing rabbits. Twenty (20) rabbits (541 to 611 g) were randomly assigned to four (4) treatment groups in a completely randomized design and each treatment had five (5) rabbits. Four diets were formulated with inclusion levels of garlic (0.00, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75%) designated as treatments 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectably. The results revealed that there were no significant (P < 0.05) differences among the treatments with respect to total weight gain (511.40, 499.20, 488.20, and 476.20), daily weight gain (12.18, 11.89, 11.62, and 11.34) and feed conversion ratio (5.76, 5.59, 5.53, and 5.41). However, total feed intake (TFI) and daily feed intake (DFI) were significantly (P< 0.05) different among the treatments, in which treatment 4 recorded higher total feed intake (2830.60 g) and daily feed intake (67.39 g) compared to other treatments and the least TFI (2576.20) and DFI (61.34) was recorded under control. In terms of carcass weights, a significant (P < 0.05) difference was observed among the treatments in which treatment 4 recorded the highest values (602.00 g) and treatment 1 is the least (506.00). The highest dressing percentage (53.70%) was recorded under treatment 4 and treatment 1 is the least (47.03%). The hematological parameters with the exception of eosinophil were not affected by the treatments, however, total protein, globulin and alanine aminotransferase of serum biochemical parameters were affected by the treatments. The lowest feed cost (N/g gain) was observed in treatment (1). In conclusion feeding kitchen food wastes supplemented with garlic did not adversely affect the growth performance of growing rabbits. Based on result of this study, incorporation of kitchen food wastes supplemented with garlic (at 0.75%) increased feed intake and dressing percentage of growing rabbits and is recommended for rabbit farmers in the study area.

Conjunctiva swabs were collected from 12 diagnosed patients, and the bacterial isolates were tentatively characterized based on cultural, morphological, and biochemical properties. An antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted using the disk diffusion method. A Questionnaire that was administered to patients revealed symptoms such as redness (41.7%), eye discharge (16.7%), and photophobia (8.3%), with symptoms lasting 1-2 weeks. Some respondents claimed that the consumption of iru, both raw and cooked, was effective in managing conjunctivitis for over 16 years. Identified bacteria included Staphylococcus aureus (58.3%), Bacillus cereus (50%), Klebsiella aerogenes (33.3%), Escherichia coli (16.7%), and Proteus vulgaris (16.7%). The antibiotics susceptibility test re¬vealed a high resistance rate to antibiotics among the Gram-positive isolates, especially to cloxacillin, erythromycin, gentamycin, and ceftriaxone at 100%, 28.6%, 57.1%, respectively for S. aureus, while B. cereus showed resistance to gentamicin and erythromycin at 66.7% and 16.7%, respectively. However, Gram-negative isolates P. vulgaris showed 100% resistance to nitrofurantoin, cefixime, ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, and erythromycin, at 50%. Also, E. coli showed 100% resistance to nitro¬furantoin and cefixime; and 50% resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. K. aerogenes also showed 100% resistance to nitrofurantoin and cefixime. The study observed a trend of high antibiotic resistance by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. This research provides valuable insights into bacterial profiles associated with conjunctivitis in the studied population and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns.

Authors: Ovejas Iratxe Suberviola , Gurría María Isabel , Martínez-García Aroa
Published: January 2025

Gender-based violence is a global issue that, in addition to claiming thousands of lives worldwide each year, has serious physical, psychological, and social consequences for the victims. The synergy between gender-based violence and adolescence is a concerning phenomenon, as adolescents are vulnerable to abusive behaviors that they may normalize within romantic relationships. During this stage, ideas about love and relationships are still being formed, which may lead young people to not recognize certain behaviors as gender-based violence. This article provides a literature review on the different types of gender-based violence, focusing on adolescence. Additionally, the main risk factors and the consequences for the victims are analyzed. Finally, preventive lines of work in various areas are proposed, with particular emphasis on coeducation and highlighting the importance of early identification of violence indicators in adolescent relationships, such as control, jealousy, emotional manipulation, and cyberbullying.

Authors: Simonyan Simon
Published: January 2025

Video surveillance systems are widely used to protect people’s lives, property,
prevent and detect crimes and protect other legitimate interests. At the same
time, video surveillance can lead to illegal processing of data on individuals. In
the above context, on the one hand, there is the need to protect the interests of
the person conducting video surveillance, and on the other hand, the necessity
to maintain the guarantees of personal data protection. The specifics of the
implementation of video surveillance by state bodies are already regulated
by legislation, but the legality of video surveillance implemented by private
subjects of law, as a rule, in the absence of special norms, is assessed on the basis
of the general rules of personal data protection legislation.
Taking into account the lack of studies on the issue discussed in the Armenian
doctrine, the first part of this article is intended to reveal the specifics of personal
data processing through video surveillance.
The second part of the work is called to discuss the guarantees established by
RA legislation, on which the processing of personal data by private subjects of
law through video surveillance should be based.

Published: January 2025

This study addresses the effects that wind-induced vibration has on composite rigging shrouds as well as the development of engineered dampeners to mitigate the identified effects. The research considered monolithic and bundled multiple-body shroud architectures, representing the two carbon-fibre based alternatives available in current composite rigging. Indeed, the literature suggests wide range of situations where vortex-induced-vibrations can affect rigging stays, yet yacht rigging experiments remain to be conducted. Consequently, wind tunnel testing, on-site measurements, and laboratory tests were performed to characterise the rigging vibration and dampening properties. The first output of the investigation evaluated through field velocity measurements in wind tunnel the turbulence intensity at the trailing edge of vibrating shrouds. Results depicted how the flow turbulence in resonating situations can be triple to that of the shroud when static. Secondly, testing with an excitation device provided the damping response of shrouds with different constructions. These tests quantified the motion amplitude of resonating shrouds as well as the inherent damping properties. Additional tests were performed on the same specimens following the installation of custom external damping devices to mitigate the vibration. Results showed how cables with varying constructions can attenuate the vibration up to 63% faster, whereas the dampeners were proven to provide significant reductions both in the resonance amplitude and damping time. Finally, onsite measurements were performed to quantify the vibration phenomenon and the performance of the dampeners in a real yachting situation. These results provide novel findings on the aerodynamics and vibration characteristics of modern composite riggings, and may be applicable to racing yachts and superyachts.

Family support plays a significant role in influencing the recovery motivation of schizophrenia clients in West Sumatra, which ranks as the fourth province with the highest prevalence of mental disorders in Indonesia, with 10,816 individuals affected. This study aims to examine the relationship between family support and the motivation of schizophrenia clients at the Yayasan Pelita Jiwa Insani. This quantitative research, with a cross-sectional approach, was conducted from March to April 2024. The population consisted of 102 schizophrenia clients, with a purposive sample size of 81 respondents. Data collection used questionnaires and interviews, and analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate methods with the chi-square test. Results showed that 56.8% of clients had low family support and low motivation. A significant relationship was found between family support and motivation (p = 0.048). These findings are expected to help enhance the motivation of clients undergoing rehabilitation at the foundation and contribute to nursing knowledge as a reference for further research.
A Study of Superficial Venous Patterns of the Cubital Fossa Among Iraqi Population
Authors: Raed H. Ogaili
Published: January 2025

Blood can be drawn from the cubital fossa's superficial veins for transfusion, analysis, and intravenous therapy. The superficial veins (basilic vein (BV), cephalic vein (CV), median antebrachial vein (MCV), and median cubital vein (MCcV)), are usually visible through the skin and are anatomically variable.
This study aims to identify the variation of superficial venous arrangement in “the cubital fossa”. For about two to three minutes, a tourniquet was placed 10-15 cm proximal to the cubital fossa with strong finger flexion and extension till the veins were revealed for inspection.
In the cubital fossa, six different kinds of superficial venous patterns were found. There are two types of pattern categories (majors and miners) for 300 volunteers. The pattern types I, II, and III were the high percentage of total patterns among the Iraqi population, with 83.33% and 82.67% for males & females, respectively. While types IV, V, and VI had the lowest percentages, 16.67% for males and 17.33% for females.
In conclusion, knowing pattern types gives a preliminary indication of educational importance for anatomists during dissections and clinical importance for surgeons and medical staff (nurses in particular) to avoid the damage that may happen while dealing with this anatomical region.
A Cross-Sectional Study Investigates the Use of Lactational Amenorrhea for Contraception Among Women
Authors: Vian Hussam Almansi Alqani
Published: January 2025

Background: The Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) is a natural contraceptive technique that combines breastfeeding with family planning, particularly for postpartum women. This study explores the prevalence, accuracy, and sociodemographic influences on LAM usage among women attending a health center.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 postpartum women aged 15–45 years with at least one living child under five years old. Data collection involved structured interviews using a questionnaire covering sociodemographic characteristics, breastfeeding practices, and LAM usage. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and logistic regression to identify factors influencing LAM practice.
Results: Among participants, 42.7% were currently breastfeeding, and 33.1% of women who had ever breastfed reported using LAM for contraception. However, only 9.8% adhered to the ProperLAM criteria, while 90.2% practiced it incorrectly, leading to a 30.1% unintended pregnancy rate among inProperusers. Rural residence and lower educational attainment were associated with higher LAM usage. Non-working women also demonstrated significantly higher adoption rates compared to working women.
Conclusion: This study identified mothers who had at least three children as being more likely to practice LAM in rural areas. Thus, the health providers would encourage mothers to breastfeed and dispel any misinformation with effective counseling on the lactational amenorrhea method
Increasing CO2 levels in water decrease the hatching success of brine shrimp

Increasing CO2 levels in the oceans due to global warming leads to CO2-induced ocean acidification. When ocean acidity levels rise from additional CO2, it can lead to the endangerment of many crustaceans whose shells may dissolve with the decreasing pH. Through a model of ocean acidification, our study explores the extent to which increasing CO2 levels affect the hatching success of Artemia sinica, commonly known as brine shrimp. We hypothesized that as CO2 levels in the tank increased, the hatching
success of the brine shrimp would decrease. We added increasing numbers of CO2 tablets to tanks to acidify the water in tanks that each contained ten replicates of brine shrimp eggs, and after four days, we quantified the number of hatched brine shrimp. We found that the brine shrimp exposed to the lowest amount of CO2 had the highest hatching success, and the brine shrimp exposed to the highest amount of CO2 had the lowest hatching success. These data
suggest the need to limit both CO2-induced ocean acidification and CO2 emissions to protect all marine life.
