Published: November 2024

Indonesia is an agricultural country where the agricultural sector contributes significantly to GDP. The agricultural sector also plays an important role in providing employment, making it one of the important sectors in the country's economic growth. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of biological asset disclosure, downstream practices, and global economic factors on the sustainable growth of agricultural companies in Indonesia, as well as to test the role of board education background in moderation. The research method uses panel data analysis of annual reports of agricultural companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2017-2022) with regression using SPSS Statistics 27. The results show that biological asset disclosure has a significant negative impact on sustainable growth, while downstream practices and global economic factors make significant positive contributions. Meanwhile, the board's educational background was found not to moderate the relationship between biological asset disclosure, downstream, and the global economy on the level of sustainable growth. This study provides in-depth insights into the factors affecting sustainable growth in the Indonesian agricultural corporate sector, with practical implications for corporate strategy and agricultural sector policy.

Published: November 2024

This study examines the relationship between ROA, ROE, EPS, CR, and NPM variables on stock prices after the Covid-19 pandemic. The research applies a quantitative method using secondary data. The data comes from Indonesian companies listed on the IDX for the period 2021-2022. The tests conducted include descriptive analysis and regression analysis. The financial data was sourced from the Osiris database provider. The results of this study show that the ROA variable has a significant impact on stock prices. The ROE variable does not have a significant impact, nor do the NPM, CR, and EPS variables. These findings can be useful for investors in gaining insights into the equity market in Indonesia. The limitation of this study is that it only uses five variables and focuses solely on the company's fundamental aspects. Other variables, such as non-accounting factors like the psychological aspect of Indonesian investors, could also be considered.
Political Connection, Public Ownership, Pengungkapan CSR: Peran Moderasi Ukuran Perusahaan
Authors: Khairin Mochamad Yahdi , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: November 2024

Basically, CSR activities are voluntary, but due to regulations set by the government, CSR activities are implicitly mandatory (Xu & Zeng, 2016). The purpose of the government in making regulations related to companies obliged to do CSR is that companies are responsible for the consequences of company operations that may have an impact on the environment and surrounding communities. However, currently the development of CSR disclosure implementation in Indonesia has not been carried out optimally by private companies and state-owned enterprises. According to Nayenggita et al., (2019), the implementation of CSR in Indonesia is currently still carried out based on the perspective of profit sharing which is used to answer desires rather than the needs needed by the community. The purpose of this study is to determine whether political connection and public ownership have an impact on CSR disclosure by using company size as a moderating variable.The data used comes from financial reports and sustainability reports as well as annual reports on state-owned companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2020 to 2022. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis on the research panel data. The results show that political connection has no effect on CSR disclosure, but public ownership is negatively related to CSR disclosure. The results also concluded that company size can strengthen public ownership. The results also concluded that company size can strengthen the positive effect of public ownership on CSR disclosure.

Published: November 2024

Indonesia entered into Paris Agreement in 2015, which showed the serious intention of the government to commit to the implementation of activities that support sustainability in the environment, and society, as well as good governance. To accelerate the implementation, the Indonesian government encouraged all stakeholders in the society to get involved, starting with issuing Financial Services Authority regulation No.51/OJK.03/2017, with some listed companies as the first target to carry out sustainable activities and prepare the Sustainability Report. This study aims to analyze the relationship between sustainable activities reported in the Sustainability Report as regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the FSA regulation No. 51/OJK.03/2017 and the company’s performance using ROE as proxy. In 2021 Indonesian government issued another regulation, that was the SE OJK no. 16/SEOJK.04/2021 which explained that the sustainability report was inseparable with financial report. The point was that sustainability activity should influence a company’s performance. The population of this research was the listed companies classifed in the consumer non cyclicals sector, from which 30 samples were taken using purposive sampling techniques. Based on statistical testing using the regression method, the result showed that the  Sustainability Report do not have significant influence on the ROE. This condition could mean that the sustainable activities carried out by the companies was not significant enough to influence the performance.
Maximizing Revenue : an in-depth Analysis of Tobacco Excise, Ethyl Alcohol Excise, and Excise Revenue
Authors: Lenny Lenny
Published: November 2024

Excise revenue's contribution to state revenue is intimately linked to its inclusion in the central government's financial report. The Directorate General of Customs collects excise duties on ethyl alcohol, tobacco goods, and ethyl alcohol-containing beverages, which are then reported to the federal government in financial reports. While there is a lot of research on tobacco excise, there isn't much on excise duties on ethyl alcohol, which is the subject of this study. The research technique is descriptive-quantitative, with secondary data sourced from central government financial reports from 2006 to 2022 and processed with SPSS software. Three hypotheses are tested, with the first indicating that tobacco excise has a considerable impact on excise revenue. The second hypothesis asserts that excise levies on ethyl alcohol have little impact on excise revenue. However, the final hypothesis is accepted, suggesting that tobacco excise and excise levies on ethyl alcohol have a significant impact on excise revenue, as demonstrated by a high R square value.

Published: November 2024

This study examines the effect of auditor competence and motivation on audit quality by implementing big data analytics as an intervening variable. The data used in this study comes from a questionnaire survey distributed to respondents during December 2023. The respondents in this study were selected using purposive sampling, with the criteria being auditors at the State Finance Auditorate I BPK. The final sample used in this study was 37 respondents. This study uses the SEM approach with the SmartPLS version 3.0 application to test the data. The findings of this study indicate that competence and motivation have a positive and significant effect on the implementation of big data analytics. In addition, competence has a positive effect on audit quality, but motivation does not affect audit quality. Furthermore, implementing big data analytics does not affect audit quality or mediate the effect of competence and motivation on audit quality. With the results of this study, it is hoped that there will be an increase in training programs, socialization, and the use of big data analytics in audit activities so that it can be useful for improving audit quality.

Authors: Marbun Daniel Ranbon Bungaran , Ulpah Maria
Published: November 2024

This study aims to specifically examine the impact of intellectual capital on financial and market performance, considering the moderating role of board function. The study uses a sample of non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the period 2017-2022. The approach employed in this research is panel regression to test the relationships between variables. The results indicate that intellectual capital has a significant effect on return on assets (ROA). Additionally, the role of the board function strengthens the impact of intellectual capital on return on assets as a moderating variable. The implications of this study suggest that company management should consider increasing investment in the development and utilization of intellectual capital. This can include employee training and development, effective knowledge management, and innovation development, which can ultimately enhance the overall value of the company.

Effective cashflow management is very important for the continuity and growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). With good cash management, it will be able to avoid liquidity problems, be able to make the right strategic decisions and ensure business continuity in the long term. The purpose of this study is to find out the cash management of Convection MSMEs in Tegal Regency. The data collection method in this study is using observation and interviews. Meanwhile, the sampling technique uses random sampling of 9 MSMEs in the Adiwerna District area. The results of the study found that the cash management carried out by Convection MSME owners in the Tegal Regency area is still very minimal. This can be seen from the fact that most MSME owners have not planned, monitored or controlled cash.  Of the MSMEs that manage cash, most have not done cash planning. In addition, the monitoring carried out on cash by most MSME owners is only limited to recording cash receipts and cash expenditures in a simple way, namely recording in books alone is not in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Furthermore, the control carried out by MSMEs is also only limited to not giving too much receivables to customers and carrying out a strategy of providing discounts when their business experiences a decline in sales. This is due to the lack of financial literacy knowledge in managing their finances, especially in compiling financial reports

Two Pandemics and Workplace Shifts: Generational Considerations: A Multi-Factor Comparison of How Pandemics Impact Young Workers: Insights for Management and Employees©
Authors: Giunta Catherine
Published: November 2024

This paper will compare several business-related factors. There has been relatively little academic research conducted to compare and contrast a breadth of workplace issues and dimensions during the early twentieth century’s Spanish Flu epidemic and the early twenty-first century’s COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. This manuscript analyzes several variables and adds to the literature by examining significant factors that impacted workers and their workplaces during these two significant healthcare incidents. The major factors discussed include the labor force members during both of these pandemics, the demographics of those workforces, the workplace safety, the labor economic data during these two pandemics, the wages & how they fluctuated, the labor unions & evolving perspectives towards unionization, and the dominant industry shifts. Several of the findings regarding Millennials and Generation Z workers are supported by this author’s current research of university students who were employed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The insights provided in this manuscript are instrumental for business managers and human resource management professionals, higher education, and for those who provide corporate training.
Reading with the Phantom Fishtail: Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill’s Dried Merfolk Sequence (‘Na Murúcha a Thriomaigh’) and Transgenerational Haunting
Authors: O’Connor Laura
Published: November 2024

This essay interprets Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill’s 1998 ‘Dried Merfolk’ sequence in Cead Aighnis [Leave to Disagree] as a speculative psychoethnography based on a hidden conceit. Much as the merfolk’s ‘dried’ way-of-life evolved from repressing their ancestors’ migration from Land-under-Wave to dry land, the covert analogy runs, contemporary Irish culture remains haunted by Victorian Ireland’s traumatic Anglicisation. The sequence is translated by Paul Muldoon as ‘Part Two’ of The Fifty Minute Mermaid: Poems in Irish by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill (2007). I contend that the emblematic phantom fishtail at the peripety of sea-person legend unlocks the disparate yet interdependent intertextual backstory-building essential for understanding the historical trauma interred within ‘Dried Merfolk’. Ní Dhomhnaill develops key features of sea-person legend – the emphasis on female embodiment, the reconstructive logic of throwback tales, and analogous make-believe – into bidirectional strands of psychocultural diagnosis and quasi-phenomenological mirroring. The two modes combine to demonstrate the compatibility between speculative theorising (wondering) and aesthetic wonderment found in Wonder Tales. The phantom fishtail diagrams how and why pairing enactive make-believe with etiological analysis helps to unravel the dynamics of transgenerational haunting.
Creating a Poetics of Allusion in Two Early French Translations by Seamus Heaney
Authors: Heininger Joseph
Published: November 2024

Early in his career, Seamus Heaney translated two French poems, an unpublished Renaissance ‘spiritual sonnet’ and a nineteenth-century narrative poem in rhyming quatrains that appeared in North. The translations invite attention to his methods in creating the sonorities and prayerful themes of a Renaissance sonnet, and the linguistic and political significance of a poetics of allusion in his translation of Baudelaire’s ‘Le Squelette Laboureur’. Heaney’s use of an allusive technique in translating Gabrielle de Coignard’s ‘Sonnet Spirituel’ (‘Prayer’) and his politically charged English version of Charles Baudelaire’s ‘Le Squelette Laboureur’ (‘The Digging Skeleton’) lay the foundation and supply the encouragement for his later work in translating Sweeney Astray, Beowulf, Pascoli’s The Last Walk, and Aeneid Book VI. These French translations demonstrate his skill and inventiveness with diction and syntax. They reveal his use of Northern Irish locutions on two occasions: portraying the private prayer of a soul in extremis and showing the sufferings endured by physically weakened and exploited labourers.

The a priori theory of everything
Authors: Rybnikov Aleksandr
Published: November 2024

The a priori theory of everything is described, explaining all aspects of the Universe based on fundamentally new mathematics and physics, within which the mathematical formula of the fine-structure constant arises, which Richard Feynman called the greatest damned mystery of physics. Unlike previous versions of the theory of everything, the a priori theory of everything is considered a self-realizing project of the Multiverse, including stars that form, function, and disappear on their own. A three-hundred-year history of the development of this quantum-relativistic theory by Leonhard Euler, James Clerk Maxwell, Arnold Sommerfeld, and Paul Dirac is presented. The main idea of the a priori theory of everything is that it creates a naturally unified basis for the interpretation of cosmology, which studies the properties and evolution of the Multiverse as a whole. This theory has no prototypes or variants, as it is itself the only prototype. Its content arises as a result of the interpretation of an axiom formulated as a mathematical formula: $$ \boxed{\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\ e^{-\frac{1}{2}(\frac{x}{\sigma})^{2}}dx=1.} $$ The goal of the a priori theory of everything is to build as long a mathematical chain of consequences from the original axiom as possible, including the exposition of cosmology. This allows the original mathematical concepts of the axiom to be linked to the observed consequences in practice.
Recursive index for assessing value added of individual scientific publications
Authors: Knar Eldar
Published: November 2024

An aggregated recursive K-index is proposed as a new scientometric indicator of added value and scientific research output of individual publications. This index can be used instead of or in addition to the H-index (J.E. Hirsch. An index to quantify an individual's scientific research output, arXiv:physics/0508025). In particular, it is proposed to switch from a pure strategy for assessing the quality and effectiveness of R&D using the H-index (Hirsch index) to a mixed strategy (in the context of publication activity as a combination of cooperative and noncooperative games) using the Kindex on subnational and H-index on international or differentiated levels. In the context of a hybrid strategy of the scientist's payoff functions. This transition is correct and in demand for a number of national scientific systems with limited financial, material, infrastructural and linguistic (in terms of the English language) potential. Scientific systems with highly developed indigenous (autochthonous) characteristics are also needed in some scientific areas. Some results on the counterproductivity of the Hirsch index for the Kazakh scientific system are presented. In particular, a significant increase in the H-index of Kazakh scientists was noted as the degree of scientific localization (national participation) decreased and as the degree of “foreign content” in science-intensive content increased within the framework of international joint collaboration. The ability of the delocalization of local scientific content in joint publications to increase the H-index of Kazakh scientists was discovered.

Published: November 2024

For many years, power quality analysis has constantly been carried out at the power stations or sub-stations using the data collected at the data Centre of the power plant. However, this practice has proven to be erroneous and tedious to determine the exactly power quality problem especially when it comes to commercial facilities. Therefore, a revised approach of analysis for the power quality problems at the sites where they occur has been used in this research. This is because of the sensitivity of modern electronic equipment used in commercial facilities and also the need for accuracy of the data measurements carried out at the sites henceforth, with accurate data measurement, we can easily identify the power quality issues. Through-out this research, load unbalance of 28% was found. The solution to load unbalance was to balance the loads to 3,3% among the three phases and power losses caused by this unbalance current were calculated. Although the neutral conductor remained unchanged, harmonics especially triplen-harmonics was found to be more 10% recommended by IEC standards, therefore active harmonic filter of 200A was installed at the main panel board to reduce the losses caused by harmonics at the facility.

Published: November 2024

Las dinámicas globales han hecho que las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) situadas alrededor del mundo reconstruyan sus estrategias de internacionalización en sentido intercultural e inclusivo (Sánchez Y Romero, 2022). En esta línea, algunos autores proponen una conceptualización que integra de forma intencionada “una dimensión internacional, intercultural o global dentro del propósito, funciones y entrega de educación post-secundaria, para mejorar la calidad de la educación e investigación de todos los estudiantes y personal y para realizar una significativa contribución a la sociedad” (De Wit Y Hunter, 2015, p.2). En este sentido, la internacionalización se presenta como un desafío formativo más complejo que la movilidad estudiantil, puesto que si trabajan personas de diferentes países de un modo cooperativo se fortalece el aprendizaje sociocultural de estudiantes, investigadores e instituciones en su conjunto. Ahora bien, al mismo tiempo se reconocen las complejidades inherentes, por ejemplo, la gestión y el financiamiento que constituyen barreras en estos procesos educativos.

The function of histone methyltransferase SETDB1 and its roles in liver cancer
Authors: Zhang Enxiang , He Pingping
Published: November 2024

Epigenetic alterations in gene expression have been implicated in cancer development and tumor immune escape, with posttranslational histone or non-histone modifications representing attractive targets for disease surveillance and therapy. SET domain bifurcated 1 (SETDB1) is a histone lysine methyltransferase that reversibly catalyzes the di- and tri-methylation of histone 3 lysine 9 (H3K9) on euchromatin, inhibiting gene transcription within these regions and facilitating the switch from euchromatic to heterochromatic states. Emerging evidence suggests that SETDB1 amplification and aberrant activation are significantly associated with poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and contribute to HCC development, immune escape, and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) resistance. Here, we provide an updated overview of the cellular and molecular effects of SETDB1 activity in hepatocarcinogenesis and progression and focus on studies linking its function to immunotherapy for HCC, and present current challenges and future perspectives for targeting SETDB1 in HCC treatment.

Objectives

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is emerging as a novel diagnostic technology for various infectious diseases; however, limited studies have investigated its application in etiological diagnosis of early onset pneumonia (EOP) among patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), The clinical significance of early mNGS in predicting short-term prognosis of IHCA patients after ECPR remains unclear.

Methods

This retrospective study included 76 patients with IHCA who underwent ECPR at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to December 2022. Baseline characteristics and etiological data of all patients during their hospitalization were collected and statistically analyzed. The primary outcome of this study was the diagnosis of EOP, while the secondary outcomes included successful extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) weaning and survival at discharge. Additionally, the characteristics of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) flora in these patients were compared by analyzing both mNGS results and culture results.

Results

Multivariate logistic regression were employed to analyze the predictors of ECMO weaning failure, mortality at discharge, and the incidence of EOP. Ultimately, patients with lower SOFA scores on admission [OR (95%CI): 1.447 (1.107-1.890), p=0.007] and those who underwent early mNGS testing within 48 hours after ECPR [OR (95%CI): 0.273 (0.086-0.865), p=0.027] demonstrated a higher probability of successful weaning from ECMO. Patients with higher SOFA scores on admission [OR (95%CI): 2.404 (1.422-4.064), p=0.001], and elevated lactate levels [OR (95%CI): 1.176 (1.017-1.361), p=0.029] exhibited an increased likelihood of mortality at discharge. Furthermore, early mNGS detection [OR (95%CI): 0.186 (0.035-0.979), p=0.047], and lower CRP levels (48h-7d after ECMO) [OR (95%CI):1.011 (1.003-1.019), p=0.006] were associated with a reduced incidence of EOP. In addition, the pathogens detected by mNGS within 48 hours after ECPR were mainly oral colonizing bacteria and viruses, and viruses were in the majority, while all BALF cultures were negative. In contrast, between 48 hours and 7 days after ECPR, BALF cultures were positive in all EOP patients.

Conclusions

Early mNGS testing to identify microbial flora facilitates timely adjustment of antibiotic regimens, thereby reducing the incidence of EOP and improving short-term prognosis in patients undergoing ECPR following IHCA.
Effects of communication mode on EFL learners’ engagement and request learning
Authors: Shen Zhiqi , Cheng Cuiling
Published: November 2024

This study examines how different communication modes (two kinds of computer-mediated communication and face-to-face mode) influence EFL learners’ engagement during a collaborative writing task and its impact on subsequent request learning outcomes, measured by sociopragmatic and pragmalinguistic competence. Ninety-six high school English learners were assigned to groups for text-based chat, audio chat, and face-to-face interactions to complete a collaborative writing task in pairs. Two versions of the Written Discourse Completion Test (WDCT) were employed as pre-tests and post-tests to assess and compare the learning outcomes in request-making across the three groups. Cognitive and social engagement of learners were assessed by using multiple measures derived from chat logs and recordings, while a post-task questionnaire was utilized to gauge emotional engagement during the task. The results indicated that learners in the face-to-face and audio-chat conditions demonstrated higher levels of cognitive engagement compared to the text-chat group. The text-chat group reported fewer instances of negative emotions. In terms of request learning outcomes, all groups showed an increase in sociolinguistic appropriateness; however, no significant differences were found in overall pragmalinguistic competence. Social and emotional engagement significantly correlated with sociopragmatic improvement in the audio-chat mode, yet these indicators did not demonstrate significant predictive power.
Bridging worlds with words: translanguaging and its impact on identity formation among Jordanian graduate students in Ontario
Authors: Almashour Mohamad
Published: November 2024

Translanguaging, an approach to multilingualism, enables individuals to draw from their entire linguistic repertoires, challenging traditional language boundaries. This study explores how translanguaging practices influence identity formation, academic integration, and social adaptation among Jordanian graduate students in Ontario, Canada, where linguistic diversity and bilingualism present unique challenges and opportunities for cultural expression. A qualitative research design was used, involving semi-structured interviews with 10 Jordanian graduate students who identify as bilingual in Arabic and English. Data were collected through interviews conducted in both languages, ensuring comfort and authenticity in participants’ responses. Thematic analysis was applied to identify patterns in translanguaging practices and their perceived impacts on identity and academic experiences. Findings indicate that translanguaging facilitates identity expression, allowing students to bridge their Jordanian heritage with their new Canadian academic environment. Participants reported enhanced comprehension of academic material, improved confidence in class participation, and increased social cohesion through linguistic flexibility. However, they also highlighted challenges, including experiences of linguistic stereotyping and a lack of institutional support for multilingual practices. The study underscores translanguaging as a critical tool for identity negotiation, academic success, and social integration, advocating for educational policies that acknowledge and support its value in multicultural and multilingual settings. The implications highlight the need for inclusive language practices in higher education to foster belonging, respect for linguistic diversity, and academic achievement among international students.

Introduction

Portal hypertension combined with hypersplenism (PHcH) is the main cause of hypocytosis and esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage in patients with liver cirrhosis. Activated macrophages that destroy excess blood cells are the main cause of hypersplenism, but the activating pathway is not very clear. This study aims to investigate the activation types of splenic macrophages and their activation mechanisms, to provide experimental evidence for the biological treatment of splenomegaly, and to find a strategy to improve liver fibrosis and inflammation by intervening in splenic immune cells. This study revealed the occurrence of M2-like polarization of macrophages and upregulation of c-Myc gene expression in the PH spleen.

Methods

RNAseq, protein chip, western blot, and chip-seq were performed on macrophages and the in vitro MEK inhibitor rafametinib was used. Carbon tetrachloride and thioacetamide induced mouse cirrhosis models were separately constructed.

Results

c-Myc gene knockout in splenic macrophages reduced M2-like polarization and exacerbated liver fibrosis inflammation. c-Myc activated the MAPK signaling pathway and upregulated the expression of IL-4 and M2-like related genes in PH hypersplenism through the MEK-ERK-c-Myc axis. In addition, the c-Myc gene exerted anti-inflammatory effects by upregulating IL-4-mediated signal transduction to promote M2-like differentiation and anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion.

Conclusions

Activation of MEK‐ERK‐c‐MYC signaling pathway promotes splenic M2-like macrophage polarization to inhibit PHcH-liver cirrhosis. Therefore, the induction of macrophage depolarization might represent a new therapeutic approach in the cure of PH hypersplenism, making c-Myc a potential candidate for macrophage polarization therapy.
The role of macrophage and adipocyte mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of obesity

Obesity has emerged as a prominent global public health concern, leading to the development of numerous metabolic disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, type−2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), sleep apnea and several system diseases. It is widely recognized that obesity is characterized by a state of inflammation, with immune cells-particularly macrophages-playing a significant role in its pathogenesis through the production of inflammatory cytokines and activation of corresponding pathways. In addition to their immune functions, macrophages have also been implicated in lipogenesis. Additionally, the mitochondrial disorders existed in macrophages commonly, leading to decreased heat production. Meantime, adipocytes have mitochondrial dysfunction and damage which affect thermogenesis and insulin resistance. Therefore, enhancing our comprehension of the role of macrophages and mitochondrial dysfunction in both macrophages and adipose tissue will facilitate the identification of potential therapeutic targets for addressing this condition.
