UTILIZING BLOCKCHAIN AND SMART CONTRACTS TO ENHANCE TRANSPARENCY AND EFFICIENCY IN HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PROCESSES: A CONCEPTUAL APPROACH
Authors: Abdullah Aminullah Abdulrasheed , Khanom Mafia , Yusuf Asniza , Magajiya Tanko
Published: November 2024

Combining the principles of the blockchain and smart contracts with the human resources management framework can be viewed as a chance for further advancement of organisational transparency and performance. This approach looks at how the characteristics of blockchain require decentralisation and immutability to help solve common HRM issues, including data accuracy, recruitment and payroll issues. For instance, using smart contracts, some of the human resource operational processes can be transacted only when specific contractual conditions are met, hence leaving out any middlemen and reducing corruption cases. Additionally, using blockchain in the HRM will make it easy to provide verifiable employee details, efficient management of human capital, and accreditation of performance management systems. Ensuring the existence of an accurate and immutable employee register strengthens the shareholders' confidence; the improvement of business decisions based on the data provided by the HR department meets the increasing trend for HR data transfers. It is, therefore, believed that if organisations continue to implement digital solutions, blockchain has the potential to grow as the premier option for enhancing engagement and performance as an element of HRM. This study, therefore, seeks to establish a literature review on how blockchain and smart contracts could be applied in HRM and the consequential recommendation for future research and practice. Extending from the comprehensive literature review of the current state of HRM technologies, this study aims to develop a framework regarding how these technologies can be utilised to foster increased transparency, efficiency and equity in strategically managing people resources.

EFFECTIVENESS OF RISK MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE ATTRIBUTES IN MITIGATING EARNINGS MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES IN NIGERIA
Authors: Musa Auwalu , Abdul Latif Rohaida , Abdul Majid Jamaliah , Muhammad Ibrahim
Published: November 2024

Recently, there has been a lot of debate on the issues of earnings management practices. Most of these arguments have been confirmed by past studies in developed economies, where their regulations and institutional settings of corporate governance varied from those of emerging markets. Accordingly, corporate governance best practice has been considered an effective monitoring mechanism for strengthening the credibility and reliability of financial reporting. This study examines the effectiveness of risk management committee (RMC) attributes in mitigating earnings management (EM) practices in Nigeria. The study used a sample of 365 firm-year observations of listed non-financial companies from 2018 to 2022. Driscoll and Kraay’s fixed effect standard error regression model was used to test the hypotheses. The study finds that RMC size and expertise have a negative effect on both AEM and REM. However, RMC independence is found to negative effect on REM only. Moreover, additional test validates that RMC scores (effectiveness) are significantly associated with lower EM practices. Our results are robust under alternative regression and measurements for endogeneity. The findings provide enormous insight to regulators, policymakers, and investors on the ongoing debate surrounding the effectiveness of the RMC attributes in mitigating EM practices, and the effectiveness of the revised NCCG 2018. Besides, the findings will provide important intuition to shareholders, financial analysts, and academia about the effective role of stand-alone RMC.
TIME-VARYING CURRENCY EXPOSURE OF NON-FINANCIAL FIRMS IN MALAYSIA: COMPARISON BETWEEN THREE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL PERIODS
Authors: Wan Suhaimi Wan Nurhanan , Hashim Nor Haziah
Published: November 2024

This paper examines the level of currency exposure of selected non-financial firms in Malaysia. The sample period shall include three noteworthy financial periods namely the Asian financial crisis (AFC) in 1997, global financial crisis (GFC) in 2008, and post-COVID period in 2023. The analysis will employ daily data that are to be collected from both the Bloomberg and Datastream databases. Once collected, the data will be analysed using the OLS method with incorporation of dummy variable to denote the different financial periods. The study is believed to show significant exposure level during the AFC in comparison to the GFC due to the nature of the crisis. However, the post-COVID period remains as a very interesting timeframe as it carries a more widespread crisis effect. This also serves as the novelty of the study as incorporating the post-COVID period provides a fresh outlook in term of side-by-side comparison between three consecutive major financial events for the past three decades. Curating such comparison also merits as a fascinating research due to the staggering differences between the three financial periods. The detailed analysis will enable articulation of more accurate policy making and risk management among the involved parties, particularly in Malaysian market.

Published: November 2024

Background: Even though Leukemia is one of the most common causes of childhood cancer its occurrence in the newborn
period is very uncommon, especially when presenting with non-specific symptoms.
Case Presentation: A 10-day old female Ethiopian infant was referred from a public hospital to the Neonatal intensive
care unit of Gondar University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital after they found a markedly elevated leukocyte
count while working her up for early-onset neonatal sepsis as she was experiencing persistent vomiting since the first
day of delivery. Physical examination was only notable for palpable spleen 3cm below the left costal margin. Further
evaluation with peripheral morphology and bone marrow aspiration revealed numerous blast cells and a diagnosis of
acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Conclusion: Neonatal leukemia, a rare disease in newborns, may present with unusual symptoms. It should be considered
among the differential diagnoses when accompanied by abnormalities in blood counts and other suggestive features.

Published: November 2024

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, with its prevalence steadily increasing due to factors such
as ageing populations, UV exposure, and lifestyle choices. The majority of skin cancers are non-melanoma types, including
basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which account for around 95% of all cases [1].The further
five percent are made up of other skin cancers such as melanoma which is considered more serious due to its potential for
metastasis. In the UK, majority of non-melanoma skin cancers are identified in primary care but are commonly managed in
secondary care. However, shifting the management of these cancers to primary and community-based settings has a significant
potential to reduce the burden on secondary care and in turn free up resources for more complex cases. This shift could lead
to improved efficiency, reduced waiting times, lower healthcare costs and ultimately greater patient satisfaction.

Published: November 2024

Background: Humeral shaft fractures constitute approximately 5% of all fractures. Surgical fixation is commonly achieved using either
intramedullary nails (IMNs) or locking compression plates (LCPs), each with distinct advantages. IMNs are valued for their minimally
invasive approach, while LCPs offer superior stability and control over fracture reduction.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of IMNs and LCPs in managing humeral shaft fractures, focusing on operative
parameters, postoperative recovery, and functional outcomes.
Methodology: This retrospective case study was conducted at Sheikh Zayed Medical College/Hospital Rahim Yar Khan, including
patients treated between March 1, 2018, and February 28, 2019. A total of 68 patients with humeral shaft fractures were reviewed. The
patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical fixation method used.
• IMN Group: 34 patients underwent intramedullary nailing.
• LCP Group: 34 patients received locking compression plate fixation.
Patients were followed retrospectively after their surgery for a period of one year. Data were collected on operative time, length of
hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss, and functional recovery through a review of medical records and follow-up assessments
Results: Demographics: The mean age was 38.05 ± 11.5 years for the IMN group and 39.7 ± 12.3 years for the LCP group. Operative
Metrics: The IMN group demonstrated significantly shorter operative times, reduced hospital stays, and lower intraoperative blood
loss (P < 0.05). Functional Outcomes: Patients in the IMN group showed superior functional recovery, exhibiting better range of
motion, enhanced strength, and improved ability to perform daily activities without pain or restriction.
Conclusion: Intramedullary nailing is a more effective treatment for humeral shaft fractures compared to locking compression plating.
The benefits observed include reduced blood loss, shorter operative time, decreased hospital stay, faster bone union, and fewer
complications. Therefore, intramedullary nailing is recommended as the preferred surgical approach for managing humeral shaft
fractures.

Amyloid self-assembled from amyloid peptides β-40 or β-42 is notorious due to the neurotoxic effects of β- oligomers in
plaque and neurofibrillary tangles, neuronal dysfunction and diseases of cognitive decline such as Alzheimer’s, or Parkinson’s
disease. This contrasts with so-called functional amyloids which are non-toxic ordered β-sheet molecular templates amenable
to applications in tissue engineering. Long and hollow amyloid fibres, flattened tube and spiral ribbons have been used in
engineering applications. Protein β-sheet core structures display diverse biological functionalities exploitable in futuristic
self-assembling biomaterials revolutionizing nanotechnological developments in photopharmacology pain research, ultrahigh performance surgical bioadhesives, and our understanding of amyloid fibril assembly. Use of nano-wires cast within
hollow amyloid fibrils has advanced nano-electronics in next generation computers, biosensors, ultracapacitors, memristors,
actuators and molecular switches. Amyloid fibrils have been used in photon capture light harvesting technologies in nanophotoelectronics, and photovoltaic photopharmacology futuristic nano-technological advances. A better understanding of
amyloid fibril assembly processes may also uncover better ways to control the toxic build up of amyloid in brain tissues in
diseases of cognitive decline. An innovative survey of over 1 million microbiome metabolites that regulate 300 G-protein
coupled neuroreceptors and Tau microtubule dynamics show effects on amyloid fibrillogenesis. Some of these metabolites are
absent in AD individuals prone to cognitive decline demonstrating the importance of the gut-brain axis in neuro-pathobiology.
With the ever-expanding prevalence of cognitive diseases in ageing global populations a clear and present need exists to treat
these conditions. A promising number of therapeutic interventions discussed herein warrant further exploration.

Authors:   Management Collage of South Africa (MANCOSA, Brink Floyd , Singh Shamila ,   Management Collage of South Africa (MANCOSA
Published: November 2024

Sustainability is crucial for ensuring the well-being of both current and future generations by promoting a balanced approach
to economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection. With increasing pressure from customers, investors, and
international organisations such as the United Nations, municipalities are urged to adopt sustainable practices. This study
aims to provide a structured approach for municipalities to meet these growing demands by integrating sustainability into
their operations and strategies. A survey was conducted among 395 respondents to identify the key components of a municipal
sustainability model, with the data analysed using confirmatory factor analysis, Spearman’s correlation test, chi-square test,
and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings revealed critical elements of the proposed sustainability model,
where confirmatory factor analysis identified significant variables for each construct, and SEM validated the overall model.
The results suggest that sustainability initiatives should align with legislative requirements, be incorporated into business
strategies, and involve active stakeholder engagement. The model highlights the importance of embedding sustainability
into service delivery and promoting continuous improvement through feedback and lessons learned. Recommendations
include fostering a culture of sustainability within the municipality, enhancing stakeholder participation, and ensuring strict
compliance with sustainability legislation and guidelines. Managerial implications suggest that leadership should prioritise
sustainability in strategic planning, promote awareness and training programmes, and establish multidisciplinary structures
to support sustainability initiatives.

Authors: Motreanu Dumitru , Razani Abdolrahman
Published: November 2024

For differential inclusions and hemivariational inequalities driven by anisotropic differential operators, we establish the existence of generalized variational solutions and weak solutions. The main novelty consists in allowing that the driving operators might not satisfy any ellipticity condition, which is achieved for the first time in the anisotropic and nonsmooth context. The approach is based on a finite dimensional approximation process.

Children with hemophilia have a significantly higher risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) compared to the normal population. Prophylaxis reduces the risk of ICH and earlier initiation of prophylaxis may now be feasible, especially in hemophilia A (HA). The aim of the study is to explore the potential for preventing ICH by earlier start of prophylaxis by assessing the natural course of ICH before the initiation of prophylaxis and describe timing and incidence. In total, 2727 children (2275 with HA; 452 with HB) were included from the PedNet Registry, followed from 28 days until 36 months of life. ICH was observed in 61 children (incidence 2.2%; 10 per 1000 patient years), with 75% of cases occurring before one year of age. Cumulative incidence was significantly lower in HB (0.9%) compared to HA (2.5%) and in non-severe HA (0.7%) compared to severe HA (3.5%). ICH occurred early, with a rise at 3 months, and a median age of 7.0 months in severe HA and 5.4 months in severe HB. In 40% of children, ICH occurred before the diagnosis of hemophilia was established, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis. Assuming that prophylaxis would have been started at the time of diagnosis and preventing all ICH in children with severe HA, the number needed to treat with prophylaxis would be 44 patients to prevent one ICH. Hopefully, prophylaxis options allowing initiation early in life, ideally before 3 months of age for children with severe HA, will reduce the incidence of ICH in the future.

Authors: Ahmed Md Sultan , Prodhan Mohammad Dalower Hossain , Begum Afroza , Afroze Marina , Dutta Nirmal Kumar
Published: November 2024

Eggplant and hyacinth bean are essential vegetable crops due to their nutritional value but are highly susceptible to various insect pests. Farmers often apply pesticides indiscriminately, disregarding the recommended pre-harvest intervals. This practice raises concerns about potential pesticide residue contamination in vegetables. The present study aimed to assess pesticide residues in eggplant and hyacinth bean. Samples were collected from eight regions of Bangladesh. Pesticide residues in the samples were assessed through gas chromatography, utilizing both a flame thermionic detector (FTD) and an electron capture detector (ECD). Among the total analyzed samples, a significant portion was found to be contaminated, with residues of cypermethrin, diazinon, quinalphos, fenitrothion, and malathion detected in over half of the samples. Among these, 15 samples (30%) exceeded the maximum residue limit (MRL) set by FAO/WHO. From the 26 eggplant samples, 15 contained residues of cypermethrin, quinalphos, and diazinon, with 7 samples (26.92%) exceeding MRLs. Four samples had cypermethrin residues ranging from 0.532–0.623 mg/kg, and one sample contained 0.703 mg/kg diazinon, both above MRLs. Additionally, two samples from Bogura and Rangpur had multiple pesticide residues above MRL. Of the 24 hyacinth bean samples, 15 were contaminated with cypermethrin, diazinon, quinalphos, fenitrothion, and malathion. Among these, 8 samples (33.33%) exceeded MRLs with residues ranging from 0.533–0.561 mg/kg for cypermethrin, 0.543–0.610 mg/kg for diazinon, 0.120–0.240 mg/kg for fenitrothion, 0.414 mg/kg for quinalphos, and 0.529 mg/kg for malathion. Two hyacinth bean samples from Rangpur and Jashore contained multiple pesticide residues exceeding MRLs. The current status of pesticide residue contamination in these vegetables is highlighted by this analysis, which also emphasizes that residues over MRLs provide serious health concerns to humans and may result in a number of dangerous disorders.

The presence of numerous oil and gas seeps along the Pamanukan-Cilacap Fault Zone of the Banyumas Basin. This indicate that the Banyumas Basin is an active petroleum system. However, oil and gas exploration in this area is complicated by extensive volcanic rocks from Paleogene to Recent Times. Thick volcanic covers are responsible for the poor seismic data quality and making subsurface imaging is difficult. Therefore, there is prospective sedimentary sequence beneath the volcanic rock as potential hydrocarbon resources in this basin. This review will focus on geochemical and geophysical approach. Geochemical analysis was used to reveal petroleum generation underneath the volcanic cover. The combined geophysical methods, i.e. gravity, magnetotelluric and passive seismic tomography were applied to image subsurface sedimentary thickness and geology structure in this area. Biomarker analysis of oil seeps from study area indicates that the oil generation in the Banyumas Basin was derived from Late Cretaceous to Eocene sedimentary rocks which deposited in fluvial to deltaic environment. The gravity data delineation analysis shows two sedimentary sub basins, Majenang Sub Basin and Citanduy Sub Basin, a relatively northwest to southeast trends, correlates with the regional structural trend. These sub basins were also well determined from magnetotelluric data. The passive seismic tomography method enhancing the sub surface image. The Vp, Vs and Vp/Vs ratios can identify the sedimentary layer under the volcanic rocks, as well as geological structure feature within the basin. The flower structure and anticline structure are well imaged and could be the potential structural trap in the Banyumas Basin. Thus, this new insight provides opportunities for further petroleum exploration in this area.

Kurikulum merupakan salah satu hal utama yang menyebabkan kemampuan matematis peserta didik di Indonesia rendah. Sebuah penelitian memaparkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan diantara output pembelajaran matematika peserta didik dan buku teks yang digunakan. Kita dapat mengetahui kualitas buku teks dalam mengembangkan keterampilan peserta didik dengan membandingkan buku teks antar negara. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode deskriptif-komparatif dan pendekatan kualitatif. Buku Indonesia yang digunakan adalah buku teks matematika kelas IX yang diterbitkan oleh Kemendikbudristek Indonesia edisi revisi 2018. Buku Singapura yang ditelaah yaitu buku Discovering Mathematics 2A (2nd Edition). Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa buku teks matematika Indonesia dan Singapura memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing. Kelebihan buku teks matematika Indonesia adalah tersedianya soal-soal kontekstual yang mengantarkan peserta didik pada pemahaman konsep. Buku teks matematika Singapura lebih memerhatikan tata letak dan cara penyajian hal-hal esensial seperti rumus dan sifat.

Road maintenance through the addition of surface layer thickness is costly because it involves the use of various and large amounts of materials, labor, and tools. The use of slurry seals can improve pavement uniformity by reducing roughness and grooves, covering the pavement surface, and repairing roughness without the need for resurfacing. In this research, bagasse ash was used as a filler in the slurry seal mixture, and several tests were carried out including consistency test, setting time test, and Marshall Test. The addition of bagasse ash by 25% to 100% in the slurry seal mixture shows an influence on the decreasing consistency value, due to the characteristics of bagasse ash which tends to absorb water. In addition, the setting time becomes faster due to the increased workability of the mixture and the bonding reaction between cationic emulsion asphalt with cement filler and bagasse ash which accelerates the bonding process. The Marshall test results showed an increase in stability value caused by the silica (SiO₂) content in bagasse ash. Meanwhile, the flow value decreased due to the larger volume of bagasse ash granules, which filled the gaps between aggregates and made the mixture denser with lower deformation.
