The Effect of Audit Tenure, Audit Delay and Financial Distress on Audit Quality in Manufacturing and Property and Real Estate Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018-2022 Period
Authors: Cucunabila Maulitya , Mayangsari Sekar
Published: August 2024

In the business sector, quality audits are crucial for ensuring accountability and transparency in an organization's financial statements. In the Indonesian setting, businesses that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) must prepare financial statements that undergo auditing by a Public Accounting Firm (KAP) to guarantee that fraud and serious errors are not included in the reports. The purpose of this audit is to give stakeholders assurance about the Company's financial standing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how audit tenure, audit delay, and financial crisis affect the caliber of audits performed on property and real estate, manufacturing, and enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2018 and 2022. A quantitative research methodology is used in this investigation. Purposive sampling was employed to select 100 data points for the sample. The Indonesia Stock Exchange and the company's websites are the sources of the data used. This study demonstrates that audit quality is unaffected by audit tenure or audit delay. From 2018 to 2022, the quality of audits in manufacturing and property & real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange was significantly impacted by financial difficulty.

Authors: Sisca Sisca , Parwanto Edy , Hartanti Monica Dwi , Tjahyadi David
Published: August 2024

Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) is an important enzyme involved in galactose metabolism. Understanding the factors influencing GALT activity is critical to elucidate its physiological role and potential therapeutic implications in galactosemia. In developing new drugs, chicken intestine/liver powder can be used as an enzyme source, GALT, to treat galactosemia. Therefore, it is necessary to research the characterization of the GALT enzyme in chicken intestine and liver powder. In this study, we investigated the influence of temperature, pH, and substrate level on GALT enzyme activity using an experimental approach in vitro. The optimum pH extraction results show that the optimum pH for the extraction of the chicken intestine and liver GALT is pH 7, with activity values ​​of 0.47 units/mL and 0.3953 units/mL, respectively. The optimum temperature for the extraction of chicken intestine and liver GALT is 37℃ with substrate hydrolysis capabilities of 0.48 U/mL and 0.57 U/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, the optimum substrate content is 400x. These insights provide a valuable foundation for further research aimed at comprehensively understanding GALT function, developing targeted interventions for disorders of galactose metabolism, and possible application in the development of new drugs for galactosemia

Marriage is a physically and mentally binding agreement based on faith, so marriage is living with a man and a woman by fulfilling certain conditions. There are times when disputes are involved in a marriage between husband and wife, which, if not managed properly, can cause divorce. It is regulated regarding the annulment of divorce as contained in Law Number 23 of 2006. However, the mechanism for the annulment of divorce is not further regulated in Indonesian law, so it is necessary to discuss the current arrangement and its comparison with Australia and analyze the existence of divorce annulment arrangements in Indonesia. This type of research is normative research using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, a statutory approach, and a comparative study comparing with other countries, namely Australia, using a conceptual approach and a case approach. Nothing related to the mechanism for annulment of divorce was found in Indonesia except in the KHI, while in Australia, it can be found in the Family Law Act 1975. Therefore, in Indonesia, further arrangements are needed in the form of legislation.

Authors: Cambindo Quiñonez Betsy Katherine , Valencia Bacilio Mayra Nor , Ulloa de Souza Raúl Clemente , Quiñónez Guagua Edson Francisco
Published: August 2024

La transición energética global, esencial para enfrentar el cambio climático, requiere un enfoque inclusivo que considere la equidad de género, particularmente en países en desarrollo como Ecuador. Este artículo explora cómo la perspectiva de género puede y debe influir en las políticas y prácticas del sector energético, resaltando los desafíos y oportunidades que surgen en el contexto ecuatoriano. A nivel mundial, ejemplos como Dinamarca y Kenia demuestran que la inclusión de género en proyectos energéticos puede conducir a resultados más equitativos y sostenibles. En Ecuador, aunque existen iniciativas incipientes, se requiere una mayor integración de la perspectiva de género en la planificación y ejecución de políticas energéticas.
Las recomendaciones incluyen el fortalecimiento de la participación de mujeres en la toma de decisiones, la recolección de datos desagregados por género, y la creación de programas de capacitación y microfinanzas para empoderar a las mujeres en el sector energético. Además, se destacan las barreras existentes y las oportunidades para avanzar hacia una mayor equidad de género en la transición energética. En conclusión, la adopción de políticas inclusivas de género no solo es un imperativo ético, sino también una estrategia efectiva para garantizar que la transformación del sector energético sea beneficiosa para toda la sociedad ecuatoriana.

Published: August 2024

The pretrial decision in the BG case (No. 04/Pid.Prap/2015/PN.Jkt.Sel) represents a pivotal moment in Indonesian legal history, significantly impacting the landscape of pretrial mechanisms and the balance of power in law enforcement. This research delves into the implications of this landmark decision, examining its role in expanding the scope of pretrial authority to include the review of suspect designations, a move that has since been codified through amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code. The study further explores the decision's emphasis on upholding the presumption of innocence, a fundamental human right often overlooked in the pursuit of justice. Additionally, the research scrutinizes the decision's impact on the authority of the Corruption Eradication Commission, highlighting the need for a delicate balance between robust law enforcement and the protection of individual rights. By analyzing legal documents, scholarly literature, and the socio-political context surrounding the case, this research provides a comprehensive understanding of the decision's transformative effect on Indonesia's legal system and its broader implications for the fight against corruption.

Published: August 2024

Heavy metal pollution is becoming an increasingly common problem. Heavy metals including Chromium, Cadmium, Mercury, Copper, and lead are hazardous environmental pollutants, especially in high anthropogenic activity areas. Heavy metals accretion in soil is a serious concern for agricultural productivity due to its negative influence on food safety, market potential, and the phytotoxicity it causes in crops. Plant ascendancy and metabolic processes affect the geological and biological re-distribution of heavy metals through air, soil, and water pollution. The typical result of heavy metals toxicity is excessive accumulation of reactive methylglyoxal and oxygen species, which lead to lipid peroxidation, enzyme inactivation, nucleic acid damage, and protein oxidation in plants. In this study, bioaccumulation and Translocation of Heavy Metals in Solanum elaeagnifolium was conducted by using standard biological techniques. Twenty-four samples of both shoot and root systems collected ‎from the study sites and Three replications of soil samples from each habitat, including topsoil (0-50 cm depth) were studied.our results showed that the quantitative concentration of heavy metals in the shoots of S. elaeagnifolium for each metal indicated a high enrichment value for (Cr), (Fe), and (Mn), on the other hand, it showed low enrichment values for (Ni) & (Pb). In addition, the concentration of heavy metals in the roots of the plant was differentiated.

THE IMPORTANCE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IN MEDIATING PERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT ON JOB PERFORMANCE
Authors: Hasani Syaiful , Churiyah Madziatul
Published: August 2024

Employee engagement mediates work performance and perceived organisational support in this study. This study examines how perceived organisational support affects job performance, employee engagement, and job performance in shoe SMEs in East Java, as well as whether employee engagement mediates the relationship between the two. Partial Least Squares regression using SmartPLS version 3.0 showed that perceived organisational support directly affected job performance. This suggests that organisational effectiveness improves with perceived support. Employee involvement indirectly impacts job performance. However, the indirect effect is still smaller than the direct effect of perceived organisational support on job performance, indicating that employee engagement owned by company employees cannot mediate the relationship. To boost employee performance, an organisation must increase perceived organisational support. To test model mediation, review employee involvement. Assessing employee performance and organisational support requires further assessments. Employee engagement can be influenced by internal and external influences, unlike many researches.

Conceptualization of Pragmatic Language Through Proverbs: A Comparative Study of Arabic and English Proverbs
Authors: Alharbi Adel
Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze and compare several proverbs in Arabic and English from a linguistic-pragmatic perspective. Examining the similarities and differences of proverbs in different languages helps us appreciate the use of that language. Indeed, Arabic and English may constitute an excellent example of understanding the practical use of common proverbs and, more generally, the historical facets of these languages' background. In doing so, I identified twenty common sayings used in the two languages, Arabic and English, to investigate the parallelisms among them and observe their use in a particular cultural context. The study's originality focuses on the fact that until now, proverb cross-language studies on these languages from a metalinguistic point of view have not been examined.
A Human Being and the Ecology of Digital Media: The Implication of Social Media on the Thought and Expression of a Human Being
Authors: Alasmari Fayez
Published: August 2024

This paper seeks, using the interpretive philosophical approach, to look into the issue of the impact of digital media on human life and ways of thinking and expression. This paper aims to analyze this issue interpretatively and link it to historical transformations in the field of media ecology in order to adopt a forward-looking view instead of a numerical analysis of the available information. The issue, as this paper sees it, lacks the philosophical dimension to discuss the characteristics of social media and link changes that these social media have brought on humans with changes that humans have brought on various concepts such as culture, thought, and society. This paper concluded that social media are a different revolution in communication media. It changed the procedures of the communication process, bringing the margin groups into the position of the elites and returning the elites to a position that is close to the position of the margin groups. The margins have become the agent that determines the ways of building new social relationships and carries out the process of transforming from traditional relationships to digital relationships. Thus, concepts change and are shaped by a different perception (the margin group). By carefully reading the characteristics of three social media (Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp), three common characteristics and features emerged that shaped and influenced their users: openness, permanence and continuity, and changing concepts.

Published: August 2024

La elastografía transitoria 1D es una técnica confiable y accesible para evaluar la fibrosis hepática en pacientes con enfermedades hepáticas crónicas. Su utilidad se destaca en el seguimiento de pacientes con enfermedad por hígado graso no alcohólico (MAFLD), una condición cada vez más prevalente. Se realizó un estudio transversal en 463 pacientes con enfermedad hepática crónica para evaluar la fibrosis hepática mediante elastografía transitoria 1D. La MAFLD fue la etiología más frecuente, seguida por la hepatitis C y la autoinmune. Los resultados mostraron una correlación significativa entre la medida de rigidez hepática (MRH) y el grado de fibrosis histológica. La MAFLD se asoció con una mayor prevalencia de fibrosis avanzada. La elastografía 1D demostró ser una herramienta útil para la estratificación del riesgo de fibrosis en pacientes con MAFLD, permitiendo un seguimiento no invasivo y evitando biopsias hepáticas.

Authors: Echeverría Gabriel , Fernández Bermúdez Saturnino
Published: August 2024

En los últimos años se ha estudiado la posible relación entre infección por virus de hepatitis C y la sobrecarga de hierro, sin embargo, el impacto real de esta relación no ha sido completamente dilucidada, reciente literatura científica revela que la infección crónica por VHC puede conducir a una sobrecarga de hierro, con afectación del ciclo vital del virus; aunque resultados contradictorios a este planteamiento también se hacen presentes en las revisiones. Otras condiciones como por ejemplo la cirrosis hepática, hemocromatosis, hemoglobinopatías, anemias hemolíticas, pueden generar sobrecarga férrica; sin dejar a un lado el escenario clínico cuando más de una entidad patológica puede estar simultáneamente en un individuo. En el presente trabajo se presenta un caso clínico con revisión de la literatura, de paciente femenino con síntomas de hepatopatía, en la cual se realiza diagnóstico de infección crónica por virus de hepatitis C, hemocromatosis hereditaria y cirrosis hepática.

Published: August 2024

Carbon emissions have become a pressing global concern because of its contribution to climate change and environmental degradation. Given the urgency to tackle climate change, especially by reducing carbon emissions, this study focuses on Africa’s leading CO2 emitters from 2000 to 2020. The aims of the study are; to examine whether there is evidence of an energy-Kuznets Curve among the leading CO2 emitters in Africa, to examine whether there is evidence of an FDI-Kuznets Curve among the leading CO2 emitters in Africa, and to Identify the turning points. The study employs an innovative analysis of unbalanced panel data utilizing sophisticated econometric techniques, the contemporaneous correlation methodology, which are; the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS), and the panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) to uncover insights. The results reveal consistency across all employed techniques. The study confirms the existence of an Energy-Kuznets Curve among the leading CO2 emitters in Africa; it also finds evidence of a U-shaped relationship between foreign direct investment and carbon emissions among the leading CO2 emitters in Africa; finally, it also identifies crucial turning points at 2760.12kg and 2886.29kg of oil equivalent per capita for energy use and 6.89% and 6.17% for FDI inflow, respectively.

The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate eighteen diverse mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilkeezek] advanced breeding lines developed at AICRP on MULLaRP for the estimation of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance, correlation coefficient for eleven quantitative traits and their association level with seed yield. The genotypes differed significantly for all characters under study. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for seed yield, number of pods per plant, branches per plant and clusters per plant. Association analysis indicated that, number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per plant and chlorophyll content had positive correlation with seed yield. Maximum direct effect on seed yield was observed through number of branches per plant, the number of clusters per plant and dry matter. From the present findings it could be suggested that on the basis of genetic parameter correlation and path analysis, number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant and number of pods per plant should be given topmost priority while formulating a selection strategy for improvement in seed yield of mungbean.

Botanical insecticides are derived from plants and their derivatives. In recent years, there has been a significantgrowth in the use of botanical products for the management of insect pests, which has raised their recognition and marketshare in the global insecticide market. The field efficacy studies revealed that neem oil (3%) was more effective in controllingsucking pests of capsicum viz., Thrips parvispinus (Karny), Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks), Aphis gossypii (Glover)and Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) under protected cultivation. Based on overall observations, minimum thrips and aphidpopulation was recorded in neem oil (3%). The next best treatments in the decreasing order of efficacy were NSKE,pongamia oil and garlic oil. Similarly, neem oil was also found effective and recorded significantly lower number of yellowmites and whiteflies followed by NSKE, garlic oil and pongamia oil. Our results suggested that neem-based products havehigher efficacy, diverse mode of actions such as repellent, anti-feedant, oviposition deterrent and moulting inhibitors as astand-alone management tool for sucking pests and would require integration with other management practices.

The present study was conducted to identify the constraints in production and marketing of tomato in the studydistricts.The study was conducted during the agricultural year 2020-21. The multi-stage purposive sampling procedure wasadopted to select the tomato growing farmers in the study districts. The study was purely based on primary data related toboth production and marketing constraints, were identified based on the opinion survey from 96 sample respondents.Garett’s rankingtechnique was used to evaluate the problems encountered by respondents of tomato growers. In thismethod, the farmers were asked to rank the given constraint according to the magnitude of the problem. In Belagavi district,major production constraints were requirement of better management practices (I) followed by high expenditure on plantprotection chemicals (II) and severe incidence of pest and disease (III). While, in case of Kolar district severe incidence ofpest and disease ranked first with mean garret score of 66.64 followed by high expenditure on plant protection chemicalswith mean garret score of 60.79 and timely non-availability of labours and high wage rates with mean garret score of 57.79.Whereas, in case of marketing constraints high price fluctuations stood first in both the districts.

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and muscle tone or posture. It is caused by damagethat occurs to the immature, developing brain, most often before birth. The present study investigated the influence ofsocio-demographic factors like family type, family size, socio-economic status, and religion on cerebral palsy amongchildren in Dharwad taluk during 2021-22. The sample size was 164 children of 6 to 16 years, on which 82 were cerebralpalsy and 82 were typical children matched with cerebral palsy children. A descriptive matched pair case control design wasused. Self- structured questionnaire and Agarwal’s socio-economic status scale was used for data collection. The result ofthe study revealed that, the incidence of cerebral palsy was high among males (67.10%) than females (32.90%) also firstborn (56.10%) had more risk than later born (43.90%). Majority of families were (84.10%) nuclear with medium size(56.90%). The incidence of cerebral palsy was high among low socio-economic status hence, found a strongassociationbetween cerebral palsy and socio-economic status.

To commemorate the International Year of the Millet (IYOM2023), an effort was made to study the bibliometric profile of globalresearch on millets. A total of 5315 references of journal articles weredownloaded from PubMed (NLM) using the common name and thescientific name of nine prominent millets as the keywords appearingin the title. The number of publications steadily increased over theyears with the highest rate of increase during 2010-20. Sorghumfollowed by pearl millet and foxtail millet received the highest numberof publications. Overall, the USA, India and China produced 1287,1192 and 886 articles, respectively. Interestingly, almost all studieson “Browntop millet”,”Barnyard millet”,”Little millet” and “Kodomillet” were concentrated in India. Among the different areas ofresearch, “Stress”, “Nutrition” and “Breeding” were pursued in 971,819 and 741 studies, respectively. These studies indicate a great futurescope to employ both conventional and innovative next-generationbreeding methods on a large germplasm accession pool availableworldwide to overcome the challenges emerging from climate changeand malnutrition

A field experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Vijayapura, during kharif2021. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design assigning four sowing windows to main plots viz., 1st fortnight ofJune, 2nd fortnight of June, 1st fortnight of July and 2nd fortnight of July, whereas genotypes to subplot viz., TS-3R, GRG-152 and GRG-811 with three replications. The results revealed that the seed yield progressively decreased with a delay insowing. A significantly higher seed yield was recorded under early sowings in the 1st and 2nd fortnight of June (1539 and1535 kg ha-1, respectively) and were statistically similar for seed yield. Among the genotypes studied, TS-3R recorded asignificantly higher seed yield (1455 kg ha-1) than other genotypes, which was on par with GRG-152 (1424 kg ha-1). Theincrease in the yield was attributed to better growth and yield attributes coupled with more rainfall (521 mm) receivedduring the cropping period. The pigeonpea sown in 1st fortnight of June recorded higher plant height (196.3 cm), primarybranch per plant (14.00), secondary branch per plant (18.21), the total number of pods (117.7), seed weight per plant (53.1)and 100-seed weight (12.5) compared to delayed sowings. The interaction of pigeonpea genotype TS-3R sown in 2ndfortnight of June recorded a significantly higher seed yield (1550 kg ha-1), which was closely followed by and statisticallyon par with the interaction of GRG-152 sown in 1st fortnight of June (1542 kg ha-1). The study concludes that the earlysowing of pigeonpea genotypes TS-3R and GRG-152 is better for realizing maximum productivity and profitability in thenorthern dry zone of Karnataka.

A field experiment was conducted for the yield maximization in pigeonpea through transplanting technique underdryland conditions in medium black soils at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Vijayapura (Karnataka) during kharif2021-22. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. There were ten treatment combinations,consisting two varieties viz.,TS-3R and GRG-152 in main plots and five dates of transplanting viz., direct sowing, IIFortnight (FN) of June, I FN of July, II FN of July and I FN of August in sub plots. The results revealed that thevariety TS-3R transplanted during II FN of June recorded significantly higher total dry matter production (230.90 g plant-1), leaf area(82.88 dm2 plant-1),pods per plant (184.17), grain yield (1873 kg ha-1), stalk yield (5001 kg ha-1) and gross returns(`118004 ha-1) over other combinations. However, direct sown TS-3R recorded significantly higher net returns(`78231 ha-1) and B:C (3.38) as compared to other combinations. While, lower total dry matter production (121.72 g plant-1),leaf area per plant (38.22 dm2), lower number of pods per plant (92.25), grain yield (876 kg ha-1), stalk yield (2665 kg ha-1), netreturns(`9654 ha-1) and B:C ratio (1.21) were recorded in GRG-152 transplanted during I FN of August compared to otherinteractions. Pigeonpea variety TS-3R transplanted during II FN of June produced superior growth, yield parameters andseed yield. However, the yield improvement was not substantial to overcome the additional costs involved in nurseryraising and transplanting.
