This study uses a population of Kompas 100 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2018 - 2022 The number of samples used was 43 companies from the purposive sampling method using 2 sample criteria. The data analysis method used in this study is a panel data regression model processed using eviews 12. The results of this study indicate that out of all independent variables, there are 2 variables that influence financial statement fraud, namely the Stimulus variable with the proxy of External Pressure with a probability value of 0.0000 and the Opportunity variable with the proxy of Ineffective Supervision with a probability value of 0.0044. Meanwhile, there are 4 variables that do not influence financial statement fraud, namely the Rationalization variable with the proxy of Total Accrual Ratio with a probability value of 0.5914, the Ability variable with the proxy of Changes in the Board of Directors with a probability value of 0.4331, the Ego variable with the proxy of the Number of CEO Photos that appear with a probability value of 0.5482, and the Collusion variable with the proxy of Political Connections with a probability value of 0.9762. The results of this study are expected to be new knowledge that can be used to determine what factors trigger financial statement fraud and can be used to anticipate financial statement fraud. The components of the fraud hexagon theory applied to Kompas100 can influence only two aspects; the other four elements cannot represent the ability to detect fraud. This can be identified because the top 100 companies are those that are relatively free from fraud.

Brand Essence Effects on Extension Information Accessibility
Authors: Chang Joseph W.
Published: November 2024

This study advances the research scope of adverse extension effects by examining the impacts of brand similarity upon the accessibility of negative extension information. The research results reveal that the accessibility of unfavorable extension information of narrow brands is higher than that of broad brands. Negative extension information exerts more adverse effects on narrow brands than on broad brands. Narrow brands are high-similarity brands implying the existence of obvious underlying essence, which facilitates spontaneous processing of negative extension information. Contrarily, broad brands are low-similarity brands implying vague underlying essence, which leads to less spontaneous processing of negative extension information.

Authors: Robertson Justin , Zahid Ali , Ihasz Orsolya , York John M.
Published: November 2024

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) represents a recent policy enactment that will influence prescription drug pricing. This paper examines the IRA's elements and their impact on patients' access to medications, specifically around programs funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. This review analyzed grey literature on patient medication access concerning the IRA, along with the legislation itself. It finds that the IRA contains six key provisions with the potential to impact patients' access to medications and stakeholder business practices: insulin and vaccine cost share, OOP cost limits, premium stabilizations, drug negotiations, and low-income subsidy programs. Although the IRA presents cost-saving provisions, it may exert downstream effects on new drug innovation, increased medication utilization management by payers and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and how healthcare providers, manufacturers, and payers/(PBMs) work together to balance patient well being with fair economic returns for all stakeholders.

Emily Lawless, Natural History, and the Possibilities of Enchantment
Authors: Hewitt Seán
Published: November 2024

Natural History – including entomology, marine zoology, and botany – enjoyed a significant vogue in the late nineteenth century, coinciding with the much more widely celebrated and discussed literary and cultural revival. These, I argue, are not distinct but rather entwined movements. Placing the Irish novelist, poet and scientist Emily Lawless (1845–1913) within this context, and examining both her scientific research and novels including Major Lawrence F.L.S (1885) and The Book of Gilly (1906), this article explores the overlapping modes of science and literature in the work, and suggests that Lawless’s sustained and committed engagement in naturalist study in Ireland led to an attempt to harness the discourses of natural science into narratives of spiritual and national resurgence. Whereas many contemporaries – Yeats among them – rejected science as a disenchanting force, Lawless provides an illuminating counter-example, whose scepticism regarding the occult spiritualities of her Revival contemporaries led her to develop an alternative form of positivist spirituality which foregrounded the materiality of the natural world and the spiritual potential of close, detailed scientific study.

Novel sounds, native responses: exploring the acoustic consequences of Eleutherodactylus johnstonei’s invasion in urban areas
Authors: Melo Natalia Bispo Vieira , Both Camila , Brasileiro Cinthia A.
Published: November 2024

Background

Biological invasions pose a critical threat to biodiversity, affecting ecological balance and native species’ communication. Eleutherodactylus johnstonei, an exotic anuran in São Paulo, vocalizes at intensities that could interfere with native anuran species, potentially causing acoustic masking.

Methods

We evaluated the effects of E. johnstonei's calls on the vocalizations of two native species, Scinax imbegue and Physalaemus cuvieri, both with and without spectral overlap with the invasive species. Field playbacks were conducted using six versions of stimuli, including E. johnstonei's calls, the native Boana bischoffi (as a control), and white noise. We recorded response calls and behavioral changes of S. imbegue and P. cuvieri males.

Results

The calls of E. johnstonei did not affect the spectral or temporal parameters of the native species’ announcement calls. However, S. imbegue males displayed behavioral responses such as cessation of vocalization or movement away from the noise source. Additionally, B. bischoffi's calls and white noise influenced native species’ call parameters.

Discussion

Our findings reveal that exotic species’ vocalizations may disrupt native anurans’ acoustic behavior. This impact varies with species and context, underlining the need for further research on anuran acoustic interactions across different frequencies and acoustic environments to fully understand the effects of exotic acoustic interference.
Coping strategies for managing diabetes distress in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study on use and perceived usefulness
Authors: Embaye Jiska , Snoek Frank Jan , de Wit Maartje
Published: November 2024

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to identify the use of coping strategies employed by adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes to manage diabetes distress, using data provided by persons with lived experiences.

Methods

Adults with diabetes completed an anonymous online survey on Diabetes.co.uk, describing their coping strategies. A follow-up survey assessed the frequency of use and perceived usefulness of these strategies. Statistical analyses, including Mann-Whitney U tests, compared strategy use and usefulness between participants with low vs. high diabetes distress.

Results

625 adults with T1D or T2D completed the survey (mean age 56.3 years; 58.9% were female). Problem-focused strategies, “Taking care of my diabetes” and “Eating healthy,” were most frequently used and perceived as useful. Emotion-focused strategies such as “Expressing my emotions (crying or being angry)” were less used and perceived less useful. Participants with low vs. diabetes distress showed differences in strategy use.

Conclusions

Adults with T1D and T2D use various coping strategies for diabetes distress, with problem-focused coping being more common and found useful than emotion-focused coping. Providing individuals with a list of effective coping strategies can enhance their awareness and adoption of new strategies. Integrating personalized coping strategies into interventions can better support diabetes management.

Here is a case presentation of an adult male who developed a giant coronary artery pseudoaneurysm following trauma. Successful surgical intervention was performed, involving repair of the aneurysmal opening with a pericardial patch and isolation of the right coronary artery ostium into the aortic root. One month postoperatively, a follow-up transthoracic echocardiogram revealed thrombotic occlusion within the residual lumen of the right coronary artery aneurysm, with contiguous echogenicity extending from the aortic sinus to the right coronary artery.

Background

Gait can be continuously monitored via vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) and centre of pressure (COP) measurement with pressure-sensing insoles. During daily living, a variety of walking surfaces will be encountered, which could affect the collected data. These effects might need to be taken into account when analysing disease- or injury-related gait characteristics to prevent misinterpretation, especially when drawing conclusions from data obtained in clinical populations. We hypothesized characteristic changes in insole-derived VGRF and COP parameters of healthy participants when walking on different surfaces.

Methods

Participants walked on flat indoor surface, flat and inclined outdoor surfaces, as well as on forest, gravel, grass, and sand surfaces while wearing pressure-sensing insoles with 16 pressure sensors each at a recording frequency of 100 Hz. Several gait parameters were extracted from the VGRF and COP data, and were compared between surfaces using repeated measures ANOVA.

Results

Thirty participants were included (22 women and 7 men, age 30 ± 12 years, height 172 ± 8 cm, weight 76 ± 23 kg). VGRF and COP data were significantly influenced by the type of surface. The rmANOVA revealed significant within-subject differences between the walking surfaces in all calculated parameters. The largest changes in the VGRF and COP patterns occurred during uphill and downhill walking. Walking on compliant surfaces led to increased gait variability. The highest variability was observed when walking on sand. The change from walking indoors to outdoors, be it on flat, inclined, forest, gravel, grass or sand surfaces, was characterized by a characteristic change in the VGRF stance-phase curve. Based on these characteristic changes, it could be possible to identify whether someone is walking on a slope, as well as on non-compliant or compliant surfaces, while it is difficult to distinguish between different types of compliant surfaces.

Conclusion

VGRF data are affected by the type of walking surface in healthy adults. Walking on a slope affects VGRF and COP parameters, and in addition, the compliance of the surface increases their variability. When analysing gait data measured via insoles during daily living, we recommend to correct for the surface type to decrease variability.

Introduction

Gender disparity in academic achievement in developing countries is a pervasive issue that requires attention. Examining the gender gap provides empirical evidence for decision-makers. This study explored gender-based disparities in academic achievement in higher education institutions.

Methods

We employed an ex-post facto research design and analyzed the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and national exit examination results of 1,323 students to attain the study objective. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test, independent samples t-test, correlation, and simple linear regression tests.

Results

The results revealed a statistically significant underrepresentation of female students in the top-achieving groups (χ2 (1) = 7.929, p < 0.05), whereas their proportion in the lower-achieving groups (χ2 (1) = 19.18, p < 0.05) was higher than expected. Additionally, a significantly more significant proportion of female students scored below the 50% minimum passing mark on the national exit examination (χ2 (1) = 23.857, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the analysis demonstrated that male students attained statistically and significantly higher marks on both their CGPA [t (1231) = 6.432, p < 0.001] and national exit examination [t (1231) =10.855, p < 0.001] at a 95% level of significance. The correlation test results revealed that students who performed well academically in their CGPA were more likely to score higher on the national exit examination [r (1323) =0.525, p < 0.01].

Discussion

The findings suggest that further research is necessary to explore the underlying factors contributing to the observed gender disparities in academic achievement at the tertiary level. Moreover, additional efforts have to be undertaken by concerned bodies to support and mentor female students at higher institutions.

Background

Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with high morbidity and mortality. Although glucocorticoids are the standard treatment, only half of patients achieve complete remission. Thus, there is an urgent need to screen biomarkers for the diagnosis of aGVHD to assist in the identification of individuals at risk of aGVHD. This study was to construct prediction models for the occurrence and severity of aGVHD using two machine learning algorithms based on serum biochemical data.

Methods

Clinical data of 120 patients with hematological diseases who received allo-HSCT were retrospectively analyzed. Seventy-six patients developed aGVHD, including 56 grade I/II and 20 grade III/IV. First, 15 serum biochemical indicators were considered as potential risk factors, and the differences in the levels of indicators between non-aGVHD and aGVHD were observed, followed by evaluation of the diagnostic property. Subsequently, to develop the prediction models for the occurrence and severity of aGVHD, LASSO and random forest (RF) analyses were performed with experimental indicators. Finally, Venn diagram analysis was utilized to obtain shared biomarkers in the two algorithms to construct the nomogram. The model performance was measured by calibration curves. Internal and external validations were performed based on risk score models and ROC curve analyses.

Results

Total 12 of 15 indicators exhibited significant differences between the aGVHD and non-aGVHD groups, with AUC values > 0.75. In machine learning analysis, eight features (LAG-3, TLR-2, PD-L1, IP-10, elafin, REG-3α, ST2, TIM3) and seven variables (LAG-3, TLR-2, PD-1, Flt_3, IL-9, elafin, TIM3) were selected to distinguish aGVHD vs. non-aGVHD as well as grade I/II vs. III/IV, respectively. Further, the corresponding nomogram models were established and calibration curves showed that prediction was in good agreement with the actual probability. Biomarker-based risk score model was constructed, which obtained AUC value >0.89 in internal and external datasets.

Conclusion

Clinical variables screened through learning algorithm can predict the risk and severity of aGVHD. Our findings may help clinicians develop more personalized and reasonable management strategies.
Regulatory T cells and macrophages in atherosclerosis: from mechanisms to clinical significance
Authors: Ouyang Xin , Liu Zhongyong
Published: November 2024

Atherosclerosis is a complex pathological process, which causes diseases that threaten the health of an increasing number of people. Studies have found that the original view of lipid accumulation is not comprehensive because the use of lipid-lowering drugs alone cannot effectively treat atherosclerosis. As the study of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis develops in-depth, the impact of immune-inflammatory response on atherosclerosis has garnered a great deal of attention. Some new advances have been made in the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and macrophages with unique immunomodulatory functions in atherosclerosis. Herein, the role of Tregs, macrophages, the mechanisms of Tregs-regulated macrophages, and the effects of potential factors on Tregs and macrophages in atherosclerosis are overviewed. Targeting Tregs and macrophages may provide new research strategies for the treatment of atherosclerosis in the clinic.
