STRATEGIZING SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES DEVELOPMENT THROUGH ICT-RELATED INNOVATIONS ADOPTION: MODERATING INFLUENCE OF GENDER, AGE AND EXPERIENCE
Authors: Ibrahim Adamkolo Mohammed
Published: July 2018

The rapid advancement in information and communication technology (ICT) has brought huge entrepreneur benefits and challenges. A key challenge that has been less researched is the demand for skilled manpower in relation to the issue of the role employees’ age and gender play in driving SMEs’ ICT-related innovations adoption. This paper attempted to determine the moderating role of three important workers’ demographic characteristics (age, gender and experience) on the use of innovations related to ICT by SMEs. Adopting the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) perspective, a questionnaire was designed and administered to 400 employees selected from 43 SMEs in the Malaysian state of Selangor. The results of multiple regression analysis indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions all have significant impacts on ICT-related technology innovations adoption (ICTRIA) while the moderator analysis confirmed that the two gender categories, different age groups and different experience levels have specific moderating influence on the relationship paths between the four predictors and technology innovations use. Novel findings show that performance expectancy and social influence are more salient for older female and younger female workers to run jobs related to ICT innovations use in the firm respectively.

The Effortless Assessment of Risk States (EARS) Tool: An Interpersonal Approach to Mobile Sensing
Authors: Lind Monika N , Byrne Michelle L , Wicks Geordie , Smidt Alec M , Allen Nicholas B
Published: July 2018

Background

To predict and prevent mental health crises, we must develop new approaches that can provide a dramatic advance in the effectiveness, timeliness, and scalability of our interventions. However, current methods of predicting mental health crises (eg, clinical monitoring, screening) usually fail on most, if not all, of these criteria. Luckily for us, 77% of Americans carry with them an unprecedented opportunity to detect risk states and provide precise life-saving interventions. Smartphones present an opportunity to empower individuals to leverage the data they generate through their normal phone use to predict and prevent mental health crises.

Objective

To facilitate the collection of high-quality, passive mobile sensing data, we built the Effortless Assessment of Risk States (EARS) tool to enable the generation of predictive machine learning algorithms to solve previously intractable problems and identify risk states before they become crises.

Methods

The EARS tool captures multiple indices of a person’s social and affective behavior via their naturalistic use of a smartphone. Although other mobile data collection tools exist, the EARS tool places a unique emphasis on capturing the content as well as the form of social communication on the phone. Signals collected include facial expressions, acoustic vocal quality, natural language use, physical activity, music choice, and geographical location. Critically, the EARS tool collects these data passively, with almost no burden on the user. We programmed the EARS tool in Java for the Android mobile platform. In building the EARS tool, we concentrated on two main considerations: (1) privacy and encryption and (2) phone use impact.

Results

In a pilot study (N=24), participants tolerated the EARS tool well, reporting minimal burden. None of the participants who completed the study reported needing to use the provided battery packs. Current testing on a range of phones indicated that the tool consumed approximately 15% of the battery over a 16-hour period. Installation of the EARS tool caused minimal change in the user interface and user experience. Once installation is completed, the only difference the user notices is the custom keyboard.

Conclusions

The EARS tool offers an innovative approach to passive mobile sensing by emphasizing the centrality of a person’s social life to their well-being. We built the EARS tool to power cutting-edge research, with the ultimate goal of leveraging individual big data to empower people and enhance mental health.

Published: July 2018

Satellite measurement provides synoptic view of sea surface wind and can be used to study variability of coastal upwelling. Here we analyzed data of 12 years of satellite-derived sea surface wind, sea surface temperature (SST), and sea surface chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) to examine the spatial and temporal distributions of coastal upwelling off the Yogyakarta waters. Results show that upwelling occurs during the Southeast Monsoon (SEM) season. During this season, the Yogyakarta waters are dominated by strong wind speed (~7 m/s) and SST cooling (25 °C). Whereas during the Northwest Monsoon (NWM) season the low wind speed (<4 m/s) no longer favor upwelling and SST cooling. We suggest that as the Yogyakarta coastline is oriented east-west, northwesterly winds result in downwelling condition at the coast, while southeasterly winds lead to the offshore Ekman transport of surface water and subsequent upwelling.

Pollen grain size of some species of Galium section Platygalium (Rubiaceae) have been studied in diploids (2 n = 2× = 22, in G. boreale , G. valantioides , G. broterianum ), tetraploids (2 n = 4× = 44, in G. boreale ), hexaploids (2n = 6× = 66, in G. boreale ) and in dodecaploid (2n = 12× = 132, in G. rubioides ), and many other species and specimens related to section Platygalium. Pollen grain size, for G. boreale diploide (P = 16.68 μm, E=15.76 μm), G. valantioides (P = 15.82 μm, E = 14.69 μm), G. broterianum (P = 15.94 μm, E = 14.97 μm); for G. boreale tetraploids (P = 17.15 μm, E = 17.21 μm); for G. boreale hexaploids (P = 18.83 μm, E = 18.80 μm) and (P = 20.87 μm, E = 21.63 μm) G. rubioides dodecaploid, was positively correlated with ploidy level. The results verify the expected correlation between mean pollen diameters and ploidy levels, and demonstrate that apparent di-, tetra-, hexa- octa-, deca-, dodeca- and possibly higher polyploidy occur among the species of sect. platygalium. Palynomorphological data revealed that in sect. Platygalium, pollen size can be directly associated with chromosome number and can also be used as an additional tool to establish evolutionary trends and taxonomic relationship among species.

Dos películas filmadas en el hospital Ramón y Cajal en 1978, pioneras de la nutrición artificial en España
Authors: Garcia Garcia Raimundo , Mauriz Gutierrez José Luis
Published: July 2018

Se han recuperado dos películas filmadas en 16 mm en el Hospital Ramón y Cajal en 1978. Una se titula «Nutrición parenteral y enteral en un fistula yeyunal alta» y la otra «Intestino artificial (nutrición parenteral ambulante)». Son dos obras pioneras en la nutrición artificial en Ensaña. Se hacen amplios comentarios sobre la temática de las películas y su importancia en el momento actual. En las fistulas yeyunales altas la nutrición artificial, parenteral y enteral, es indicación prínceps, con eficacia comprobada. En la película «Nutrición parenteral ambulante» se muestra un modelo de nutrición parenteral ambulatoria bastante similar al actual. Se comenta que esta forma de terapia debería ser regulada por la Administración Sanitaria, hecho que hoy, cuarenta años después, todavía no ha sucedido a pesar de los cientos de pacientes con múltiples indicaciones que son sometidos a nutrición parenteral a domicilio en España cada año, con el consiguiente ahorro. Se ofrece el link para poder visualizar ambas películas.
Integration of Internal Control and Financial Statement Audits: Are Two Audits Better than One?
Authors: Bhaskar Lori Shefchik , Schroeder Joseph H. , Shepardson Marcy L.
Published: July 2018

The quality of financial statement (FS) audits integrated with audits of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) depends upon the quality of ICFR information used in, and its integration into, FS audits. Recent research and PCAOB inspections find auditors underreport existing ICFR weaknesses and perform insufficient testing to address identified risks, suggesting integrated audits—in which substantial ICFR testing is required—may result in lower FS audit quality than FS-only audits. We compare a 2007–2013 sample of small U.S. public company firm-years receiving integrated audits (accelerated filers) to firm-years receiving FS-only audits (non-accelerated filers) and find integrated audits are associated with higher likelihood of material misstatements and discretionary accruals, consistent with lower FS audit quality. We also find evidence of (1) auditor judgment-based integration issues, and (2) low-quality ICFR audits harming FS audit quality. Overall, results suggest an important potential consequence of integrated audits is lower FS audit quality.

Evidence of the Relationship between PCAOB Inspection Outcomes and the Use of Structured Audit Technologies
Authors: Boland Colleen M. , Daugherty Brian E. , Dickins Denise
Published: July 2018

We investigate the relationship between Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection outcomes and auditors' use of structured audit technologies (SATs) by conducting interviews with audit partners of firms inspected annually by the PCAOB, surveying triennially-inspected auditing firms, and relating auditors' reported SAT adoptions and use with their firm-specific inspection outcomes. It has been observed that auditors are adopting SATs to improve PCAOB inspection outcomes. While our evidence is consistent with this observation and motivation, we do not find evidence that SATs are an effective strategy to improve inspection outcomes. We discuss the potential reasons for this inconsistency, the most important of which may be auditors' expressed concerns about the negative impact SATs have on auditors' critical thinking skills, professional judgment, and skepticism. Supplemental tests relating auditors' SAT adoptions to their client-specific audit fees also provide initial support for auditors' reports that SATs are efficient audit tools.
Deception in Management Accounting Experimental Research: “A Tricky Issue” Revisited
Authors: Libby Theresa , Salterio Steven E.
Published: July 2018

Management accounting (MA) scholars generally accept that our subject matter requires a multidisciplinary approach. Broadly speaking, there are two main views from different base disciplines about experimental deception: “deception if necessary” (social psychology) and “deception should be banned” (experimental economics). We aim to develop a common understanding within the MA research community about what constitutes deceptive research practice. We review arguments supporting the two main views and analyze the transfer of their norms into MA research. We develop a framework that evaluates the need for and potential consequences of using deception. Our analysis implies careful consideration of the decision to employ deception and case-by-case editorial review of experiments employing deception are necessary. In the long run, the MA research community may consider if an explicit policy on the role of deception in MA research is warranted or whether a case-by-case approach, as advocated by us as an interim measure, is sufficient.

Published: July 2018

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the study was to report on the measurement properties of the revised and updated Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.2 Diabetes Module for children, adolescents, and young adults with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

The 33-item PedsQL 3.2 Diabetes Module and PedsQL Generic Core Scales were completed in a 10-site national field test study by 656 families of patients ages 2–25 years with type 1 diabetes.

RESULTS

The 15-item Diabetes Symptoms Summary Score and 18-item Diabetes Management Summary Score were derived from the factor analysis of the items. The Diabetes Symptoms and Diabetes Management Summary Scores evidenced excellent reliability (patient self-report α = 0.88–0.90; parent proxy report α = 0.89–0.90). The Diabetes Symptoms and Diabetes Management Summary Scores demonstrated construct validity through medium to large effect size correlations with the Generic Core Scales Total Scale Score (r = 0.43–0.67, P < 0.001). HbA1c was significantly correlated with the Diabetes Symptoms and Diabetes Management Summary Scores (r = −0.21 to −0.29, P < 0.001). Minimal clinically important difference scores ranged from 5.05 to 5.55.

CONCLUSIONS

The PedsQL 3.2 Diabetes Module Diabetes Symptoms and Diabetes Management Summary Scores demonstrated excellent measurement properties and may be useful as standardized patient-reported outcomes of diabetes symptoms and diabetes management in clinical research, clinical trials, and practice in children, adolescents, and young adults with type 1 diabetes.
The Association Between Diabetes and Age-Related Macular Degeneration Among the Elderly in Taiwan

Published: July 2018

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the relationship between diabetes and future development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Longitudinal, retrospective cohort study data for the period between 1997 and 2012 were obtained from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID) of Taiwan. The final available 71,904 patients with diabetes and 270,213 patients without diabetes ≥50 years of age were further matched by age, sex, and Charlson comorbidity index. In the end, 54,616 study subjects in each of the diabetes and nondiabetes groups were recruited. The stratified populations of patients with diabetes with diabetic retinopathy (DR) (n = 7,119) versus those with diabetes who do not have DR (n = 7,119) and populations of patients with proliferative DR (PDR) (n = 2,134) versus those with nonproliferative DR (NPDR) (n = 2,134) were also obtained. Competing risk regression models were used to assess the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 99% CI. The main outcome measures were the first-ever diagnosis of AMD during the observational period.

RESULTS

The incidences of nonexudative AMD (HR 1.23; P = 0.108) and exudative AMD (HR 1.37; P = 0.023) were not significantly associated with cohorts of persons with diabetes compared with cohorts without diabetes. The stratified analysis showed that nonexudative AMD (HR 3.89; P = 0.001) and exudative AMD (HR 3.42; P < 0.001) were significantly correlated to diabetes with DR cohorts, compared with diabetes without DR cohorts. The incidences of nonexudative AMD (HR 0.53; P = 0.277) and exudative AMD (HR 2.27; P = 0.058) were not significantly different between PDR cohorts compared with NPDR cohorts.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides large-scale, population-based evidence that diabetes with retinopathy is independently associated with an increased risk of subsequent AMD development.
