This study examines the influence of intra-organizational factors on Accounting Information System (AIS) effectiveness in Nigeria. These are internal organizational capabilities such as the internal control quality, training, and top management support that can significantly affect the success of AIS among the Nigerian Banks. In this study, exploratory research approach was adopted. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to regional and branch offices of banks in Nigeria. A valid response rate of 48.4% was achieved, and the survey data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for the descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling for inferential analysis. The results of the study revealed that internal control quality and training are the most crucial factors in ensuring AIS effectiveness.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES AND THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF AUDIT CLIENTS
Authors: Kamarudin Khairul Anuar , Wan Ismail Wan Adibah , Yatan Jessieca Cherryl
Published: November 2019

This paper investigates the relationship between corporate governance qualities and the purchase of non-audit services among Malaysian Listed Companies. The sample consists of 709 companies listed on Bursa Malaysia during the year 2014. The study posits that CEO duality, board independence, audit comitte independence, big 4 auditors, the audit committee size, and the frequency of audit committee meetings are associated with the amount of non-audit services. This is basically based on the argument that weaker governance allows the company to jeopardise the independence of external auditor, hence higher level of non-audit services. Company size, profitability, leverage, growth and industry are also included in the study as the control variables. Using the ordinary least square regression model and relevant diagnostic tests, findings shows that only board independence, audit committee independence, audit committee size and big 4 auditors are associated with the level of non-audit services. The results of this study contribute to the present literature on the determinants of non-audit services, especially in emerging market. The result would also be informative to regulators worldwide when considering to apply new policies related to non-audit services.

Authors: Upoyo Arif Setyo , Taufik Agis
Published: November 2019

Stress and hypertension have a reciprocal relationship where hypertension can increase stress, and stress will also increase blood pressure. Therefore we need an effort to control stress in patients with hypertension to prevent increasing blood pressure that can cause complications such as congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke. The study aimed to determine the difference between finger handheld and deep breathing relaxation techniques to decrease heart rate and stress levels of primary hypertension patients. The research design used a quasi-experimental design. The research was conducted in Kembaran and East Purwokerto District, Banyumas, Indonesia. There were 50 respondents (25 finger handheld relaxation group and 25 respondents in deep breathing relaxation group). Heart rate and stress levels were measured before and after treatment using heart rate (HR) recordings on digital tensimeter and Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS). Data analyzed using a paired t-test and independent t-test.  The results showed there were significant differences in HR and stress levels before and after finger handheld relaxation (p = 0,000). There were significant differences in HR (p = 0.010) and significant levels of stress (p = 0.000) before and after deep breathing relaxation. There was a significant difference in HR (p = 0.02) but there was no significant difference in stress levels (p = 0.23) after treatment (post-test) between those who received finger handheld and deep breathing relaxation techniques. Conclusion: finger handheld and deep breathing relaxation techniques are equally effective in reducing stress levels in primary hypertension patients. Finger handheld relaxation technique is more effective in reducing HR than a deep breathing relaxation technique.
Diminutivos atenuadores en narraciones de experiencia personal de hablantes de Santiago de Chile: ¿fenómeno variable?
Authors: González Riffo Javier Andrés
Published: November 2019

Se ha expandido la creencia de que los chilenos hablan en chiquitito, en alusión a que incorporarían el diminutivo con una alta frecuencia en sus discursos cotidianos. Considerando la faceta atenuadora de los diminutivos, en este estudio se analiza si en la variedad de Santiago de Chile existe variación sociolingüística en el empleo de los diminutos atenuadores en relación con los factores sexo, grupo socioeconómico y tipo de construcción narrativa. Para esto, se utiliza el marco conceptual y metodológico de la sociolingüística variacionista e interaccional. El análisis se realiza sobre la base de 90 narraciones de experiencia personal: 36 individuales y 54 co-construidas. Del estudio se desprende que los diminutivos se elicitan más en narraciones individuales de hombres, y hombre con hombre en relatos conversacionales del grupo socioeconómico bajo. Los resultados sugieren que la ausencia de resultados estadísticamente significativos podría replantear la idea de que se trata de un fenómeno ampliamente extendido en la comunidad de habla en estudio.

El sabueso medieval. Fuentes e iconografía desde su origen hasta los tratados cinegéticos del siglo XIV
Authors: Espí Forcén Carlos
Published: November 2019

El sabueso es un perro de rastro utilizado por los pueblos celtas desde la Antigüedad. No hemos conservado apenas referencias documentales o artísticas de sabuesos durante la Alta Edad Media. A partir del siglo del siglo XIII podemos tener una idea clara de la morfología y utilidad de los sabuesos a través de las enciclopedias, tratados de caza e imágenes artísticas. El arte y los manuscritos ilustrados de la Baja Edad Media demuestran que fue el perro más preciado por reyes y nobles en virtud de sus cualidades cinegéticas, hasta el punto en que se convirtió en el protagonista de la montería medieval.
La arquitectura natural del habitar
Authors: Ferrer Román Esther , Montero Fernández Francisco
Published: November 2019

Los animales construyen arquitecturas propias. Se cobijan en la naturaleza siguiendo diversas pautas, algunos de sus espacios habitados atienden a la búsqueda y dependen de la atención al entorno que se convierte en su mejor aliado. En otros casos los animales se apoyan en lo existente y, a veces, excavan la tierra para encontrar cobijo, pero otros son capaces de tomar restos del entorno o producir material para construir con ellos el espacio necesario con el que crear su refugio. Si estamos atentos al hacer arquitectónico podemos encontrar más semejanzas que diferencias, advirtiendo que las herramientas utilizadas por los animales para la configuración de sus cobijos se asemejan a las del hombre a la hora de construir e imaginar nuevos espacios.
Industry 4.0 as the Driving Force of SME Internationalisation: A Case of Lithuania
Authors: Kovaitė Kristina , Šūmakaris Paulius , Stankevičienė Jelena , Korsakienė Renata
Published: November 2019

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are assumed to be one of the key contributors to the country’s economic growth and social welfare. Thus, their internationalisation appears to be inevitable considering how globalisation processes have changed the rules of competition in recent decades. Smart and digitalised technologies (Internet of Things and Services, etc.) decentralise communication and provide the opportunities for new firms to overcome the barriers of geographical location and access international markets through co-creation business models and changes of the value chains. The paper aims at analysing and disclosing how the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) influences SME internationalisation. The present study is grounded on the research of extant scientific literature and assessment of experts. The research demonstrates that Industry 4.0 positively influences the internationalisation of SMEs on a number of dimensions. The recommendations for managers and policymakers how to foster internationalisation of SMEs are suggested.
Why Cash Transfer Programs Can Both Stimulate and Slow Down Job Finding
Authors: Vargas Juliana Mesén , Linden Bruno Van der
Published: November 2019

This article analyzes the behavioral effects of cash transfer programs when jobless people need to have access to a minimum consumption level. Our model reconciles recent evidence about negligible or favorable effects of cash transfers on job-finding rates and the more standard view of negative effects. When unemployment compensation, if any, is low enough, we argue that cash transfer programs can raise the hiring probability. Our framework is flexible enough to generate the standard conclusion as well. Looking specifically at unemployment compensation, its optimal level is generally higher than when a lower bound on consumption is ignored.
Genetic differentiation of Quercus robur in the South-Ural
Authors: Degen Bernd , Yanbaev Ruslan , Yanbaev Yulai
Published: November 2019

We studied the genetic composition of 200 pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) trees at nine nuclear microsatellite gene loci. We sampled nine locations in an area of 1100 km by 400 km in the South-Ural. The question was to analyse the genetic differentiation of the oaks at the south-east edge of the species distribution area. We observed relatively high values of genetic differentiation and fixation (delta=0.387, F

ST
=0.0652, F

ST(Hedrick)
=0.407) compared to values from the centre of the species distribution range. Bayesian clustering analysis revealed three genetic groups. Presence of all genetic groups was detected at all locations, but oak trees in the extreme east of the Ural Mountains were genetically most different. We hypothesise that genetic drift influenced the observed pattern.

Published: November 2019

A retinal detachment is the term used to describe detachment of the neurosensory retina from the underlying membrane, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Rhegmatogenous detachments are caused by a break in the retina through which fluid passes from the vitreous cavity into the subretinal space. The incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the general population in Europe is 1 in 10 000 persons per year. Danger is the greatest in the age range from 55 to 70 years. Without treatment, blindness in the affected eye may occur. Individual risks depend on the presence or absence of specific factors including myopia, positive family anamnesis, retina rupture, trauma, ablation in the other eye, ablation in a vitreous body, retina high-risk peripheral de-generations and vitreoretinal degenerations. Majority of the untreated rhegmatogenous retina ablations progress to the subtotal or total retinal detachment and blindness. This paper describes a very rare case of the spontaneous complete reattachment of the sensory retina to the retinal pigment epithelium in a patient with the total rhegmatogenous retinal ablation in the right eye. The female patient, who was 52 years old, was examined by an Ophthalmologist after she had experienced a sudden loss of vision, 2 months before appointment. After a detailed ophthalmological examination, a total rhegmatogenous retinal ablation of the right eye was diagnosed. The best corrected visual acuity, evaluated on a Snellen chart, was 2/60. The patient was referred to a tertiary-level Institution since a surgical intervention of the ablation was needed. Due to technical inabilities in the above-mentioned Institution, the operation was not performed, and despite the recommendation to perform the intervention in another tertiary level Institution, the patient did not have ophthalmological examinations during the following three months. During the next visit, the Ophthalmologist determined that there was a spontaneous retinal fixation on the retinal pigment epithelium and a partial restoration of the visual function of the affected eye which was evaluated at 0.5.

Musik metal terkait dengan isu kekerasan, pemberontakan, kesewenang-wenangan. Oleh karenanya, band metal juga lekat dengan citra-citra itu. Namun demikian, Purgatory, band metal dari Jakarta, mencoba memunculkan citra yang berbeda. Mereka mengusung nilai-nilai religius islami dalam karya musik dan pertunjukannya. Dalam tulisan ini, penulis berupaya untuk memahami cara band ini tetap memiliki penggemar dengan isu-isu yang diusung tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan etnografi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi-partisipasi. Penulis mengikuti dalam peristiwa-persitiwa pementasan musik metal dan juga berbagai aktivitas yang mengelilinginya. Berdasarkan penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada tiga dimensi persepsi estetika yaitu mengusung nilai-nilai religius Islami, memiliki kekhasan yang menampilkan ciri musik metal, dan mensyiarkan nilai-nilai kebaikan yang mendorong Mogerz, yakni para penggemar Purgatory tetap tertarik dengan band itu dan musiknya. Metal Music and Islamic Religious Values: The Aesthetics Review of Islamic Music in Purgatory Performance. Metal music is closely related to violence, rebellion, and abuse. Therefore, the metal band is also associated with those images. Purgatory, a metal band in Jakarta, however, is trying to establish a distinctive image to those of metal bands in common. They are to promote Islamic religious values in their music and performances. In this paper, the writers seek to understand how this band remains having their fans with these issues. This study uses an ethnographic approach. Data collection is carried out by doing the participatory observation. The writers actively got involved in the metal music performances and also other various activities. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there are three dimensions of the aesthetics perceptions, i.e. carrying Islamic religious values, having a characteristic that displays the characteristics of metal music, and broadcasting good values that support Mogerz, fans of Purgatory, to keep on attracted to the band and their music.Keywords: Islamic metal music; purgatory; mogers
French Energy Sector in Search for Optimal Model

Clean energy transition is one of major transformation processes in the EU. There are different approaches among EU countries to decarbonization of their energy systems. The article deals with clean energy transition in France with the emphasis on power generation. While this transformation process is in line with similar developments in the EU, the Franch case has its distinct nature due to nuclear power domination in electricity production there. It represents a challenge for the current model as the transition is linked to a sharp drop of nuclear share in the power mix. It is important to understand the trajectory of further clean energy transition in France and its ultimate model. The article reviews the historical roots of the current model (which stems from Messmer plan of the 1970-es) and its development over years, as well as assesses its drawbacks and merits in order to outline possible future prospects. The conclusion is that the desired reduction of nuclear energy is linked not solely to greening process but has a complex of reasons, the ageing of nuclear reactors being one of them. Nuclear power remains an important low-carbon technology allowing France to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. A desired future energy model in France can be understood based on the analysis of new legislation and government action plans. The targeted model is expected to balance of nuclear and green energy in the generation mix in 50% to 40% proportion by 2035, with the rest left to gas power generation. Being pragmatic, French government aims at partial nuclear reactors shut down provided that this will not lead to the rise of GHG emissions, energy market distortions, or electricity price hikes. The balanced French model is believed to be a softer and socially comfortable option of low-carbon model.

Setting: Supportive living and assisted living memory care facilities in a rural West-Central Illinois county.

Objectives: 1) Evaluate the impact of active pharmacist participation on patient care for residents living in supportive and assisted living facilities, 2) demonstrate feasibility and financial sustainability of rural community pharmacists providing disease state management services, 3) create processes for best practice to expand the clinical role of the community pharmacist

Design: Case study.

Interventions: Participating residents received disease state management services provided by a community pharmacist as outlined through collaborative practice agreements with local physicians. The disease states managed included hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and warfarin anticoagulation therapy. The pharmacist completed an initial chart review, initial face-to-face visit, subsequent monthly chart reviews, and monthly face-to-face visits with each resident.

Results: During the 6-month period of community pharmacist management, 86 face-to-face visits were completed to deliver a median of 5 visits per resident. The pharmacist identified 23 drug therapy problems with recommended solutions communicated to the resident’s primary care provider. Providers accepted 19 of these recommendations, reflecting an 82.6% acceptance rate.

Conclusions: Community pharmacists can feasibly implement enhanced clinical services to assist with disease state management of supportive living and assisted living residents in collaboration with physicians. Pharmacists can provide clinical assessment, education and effective communication to optimize medication management and utilization.
