Can artificial intelligence replace assurance, governance and risk management professionals?
Authors: Nene Phindile R.
Published: May 2024

The digitalization of most businesses through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) presents a great threat to many professionals asking themselves if their skill set will still be relevant in the future. The purpose of the research was to understand if AI is ready to replace assurance, governance and risk management professionals in Southern Africa and across the globe. The author critically assessed the role of governance, assurance, and risk management professionals in business and the realities of emerging technology deduced from the author’s many years of practical work as an assurance professional. The methodology applied in this study was a narrative approach as the author wanted to gather the views of the conference participants and keep the audience engaged by asking questions during the conference session. The main findings of the paper were that governance, assurance, and risk management play a critical role in business strategy as corporate governance influences investment strategic decisions. This article challenges professionals to embrace and optimise innovative technologies to remain relevant in their areas of influence and expertise. In conclusion, businesses are encouraged to be more innovative and embrace entrepreneurship during the 4th to 5th Industrial Revolution (4IR to 5IR) transformation to improve efficiencies and customer experience (Paschek et al., 2019).

Published: May 2024

The adiabatic invariants (M, J, Φ) and the related invariants (M, K, L∗)
have been established as effective coordinate systems for describing
radiation belt dynamics at a theoretical level, and through numerical
techniques, can be paired with in-situ observations to order phase-space
density. To date, methods for numerical techniques to calculate
adiabatic invariants have focused on empirical models such the
Tsyganenko models TS05, T96, and T89. In this work, we develop methods
based on numerical integration and variable step size iteration for the
calculation of adiabatic invariants, applying the method to the
Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry (LFM) global magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulation
code, with optional coupling to the Rice Convection Model (RCM). By
opening the door to adiabatic invariant modeling with MHD magnetic
fields, the opportunity for exploratory modeling work of radiation belt
dynamics is enabled. Calculations performed using LFM are
cross-referenced with the same code applied to the T96 and TS05
Tsyganenko models evaluated on the LFM grid. Important aspects of the
adiabatic invariant calculation are reviewed and discussed, including
(a) sensitivity to magnetic field model used, (b) differences in the
problem between quiet and disturbed geomagnetic states, and (c) the
selection of key parameters, such as the magnetic local time step size
for drift shell determination. The rigorous development and
documentation of this algorithm additionally acts as preliminary step
for future thorough reassessment of in-situ phase-space density results
using alternative magnetic field models.
Regulatory Oversight of Voluntary SEC Filers
Authors: Cazier Richard A. , Johnson Bret A.
Published: May 2024

SYNOPSIS

Over 1,600 firms exempt from registration requirements have voluntarily filed with the SEC at some point in the last two decades. We investigate whether the SEC scrutinizes these voluntary filings to a similar degree as those submitted by mandatory filers. Our findings suggest a lower likelihood of SEC review for voluntary filers, on average. We identify several factors, however, that help mitigate concerns regarding the overall quality of voluntary filers’ regulatory oversight. First, financial statements and related disclosures are reviewed just as frequently for voluntary filers as for mandatory filers. Second, conditional on a comment letter being issued, the comment letter process is similarly rigorous for both groups. Finally, voluntary filers do not significantly differ from mandatory filers in the likelihood of an accounting restatement. Our results suggest the SEC monitors voluntary filers differently from mandatory filers, but that this monitoring is sufficient to promote comparable financial reporting quality.
Access to Financial Disclosure and Knowledge Spillover
Authors: Chang Yen-Cheng , Tseng Kevin , Yu Tzu-Wen
Published: May 2024

Access to firms’ innovation outputs determines the extent of knowledge spillover that poses risk to innovation appropriability. We provide plausibly causal evidence that processing costs of financial disclosures, which inform users of the economic value of innovation, play a key role in firms’ management of knowledge spillover. We exploit an exogenous, randomly assigned, and staggered policy shock by the SEC that reduces processing costs of mandatory financial disclosures. In response, firms reduce patenting rates, with the effect concentrated among firms in more competitive industries and with lower costs of capital. Firms also reduce their patent disclosure quality. Our results suggest firms rely more on trade secrecy as their innovation property protection mechanism. Lower processing costs of financial disclosures affect neither innovation inputs nor voluntary disclosure practices. Our results show that firms strategically manage access to their innovation outputs through financial disclosures, patent disclosures, and trade secrecy to curb knowledge spillover.

Authors: Zhao Yilin , Ma Yumin , Ba Tianhao , Han Xueyao , Ren Qian , Ji Linong
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE

Metformin, insulin, and insulin secretagogues do not alter HbA1c levels in glucokinase-maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY). However, the efficacy of the new hypoglycemic drugs on GCK-MODY remains unclear.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We describe a case of GCK-MODY with unchanged blood glucose under different therapies during an 8 years’ follow-up. His HbA1c and biochemical indices under different hypoglycemic treatments were recorded.

RESULTS

Oral antidiabetic drugs, including thiazolidinediones, dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor, α-glucosidase inhibitor, and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor that had not been evaluated previously, did not improve the HbA1c level in this patient. However, the glucokinase activator dorzagliatin effectively and safely lowered his HbA1c level.

CONCLUSIONS

Dorzagliatin was effective and safe in this patient with GCK-MODY, providing potential application prospects for precise treatment of GCK-MODY with dorzagliatin.
Petroleum Industries and Its Impact of Petroleum Extraction on the Environment
Authors: S Rosilda
Published: May 2024

The petroleum sector has prioritized reducing the environmental effect of its activities in response to the growing environmental conservation movement. Personnel in the sector need to be properly educated and trained in order to safeguard the environment. The environmental effects of petroleum operations and strategies to reduce them are the subject of a wealth of valuable information. However, this information is dispersed throughout thousands of books, reports, and papers, making it challenging for industry personnel to find specific details on mitigating the environmental effects of specific operations. The breadth and complexity of environmental concerns confronting the petroleum sector can be daunting for many engineers. While a large number of outstanding papers have been given on particular environmental topics, there is still a need for overview papers that set the stage for those more in-depth investigations. This review article examines the main upstream petroleum industry waste sources, the effects those wastes have on the environment, waste management, treatment, and disposal strategies, and contaminated site cleaning techniques.

The Way We See It – A Qualitative Exploration of Life With Visual Impairment
Authors:   , Hill Kirsty
Published: May 2024

Living with visual impairment is associated with numerous psychological challenges, including experiencing negative emotions, difficulty with social interaction, disclosing impairment to others, and the struggles of being confronted with a new identity. If visual impairment occurs during childhood, these same psychological challenges are also extended to the child’s family, particularly parents. In considering support systems for visually impaired children experiencing psychosocial challenges, qualified teachers for visually impaired children (QTVIs) are often the primary source of expertise in this regard. Building on prior empirical research, this thesis aims to generate an in-depth understanding of the complexity of living with a visual impairment, through three qualitative studies, each focusing on a specific aspect of visual impairment. Within the first study, a focused exploration of psychological wellbeing in visually impaired adults following diagnosis of sight-loss was undertaken. Findings yielded themes relating to emotional response to diagnosis, social interaction, identity perceptions, and re-building life after sight-loss. The second study was concerned with how childhood visual impairment was psychologically experienced by mothers, where findings revealed issues during the diagnosis process, impacted relationships with the child and other family members, as well as social interactions and support beyond the family system. The third study investigated the psychological experiences of QTVIs working with visually impaired children. Findings highlighted the importance of maintaining positive and supportive relationships with the child, their family, and classroom teachers. Promoting wellbeing and social development was stressed, along with rewards and challenges to the QTVI service provision. Findings from all three studies are discussed in relation to prior literature, and their implications for medical, social, and educational practise.
BRAND PROTECTION FOR STEEL PACKAGING PRODUCTS
Authors:   , Toutountzi Anna
Published: May 2024

In recent years, the underground market of counterfeit products has grown into a global network, causing the raised concern of the general public and initiating a series of reforms in governmental regulations and policies worldwide. As the largest independent metal decorating business in the UK, Tinmasters is at the centre of these developments. The overall aim of this project was the development of a novel anti-counterfeiting technology that is compatible with Tinmasters’ manufacturing process, food contact/safe, and preferably overt, with a special focus on aesthetic appeal. A review of pre-existing technologies revealed a trend toward systems relying on the fast-growing capacity of wireless internet and smartphone devices. The latest anti-counterfeiting systems are track-and-trace enabled and offer user-based product authentication. The review narrowed the scope of the project to the development of a scheme for the creation of printable 2D codes, capable to store information that can be retrieved using a smartphone device. The core element of the feature is a trajectory of a 3D nonlinear dynamical system operating within its chaotic region, which is captured by the system’s “strange” attractor. These types of trajectories are known for their high complexity and thought, by many, to possess beauty. More importantly, they can be retrieved via a mechanism known as chaotic synchronisation. In order to create a printable code, a 3D chaotic trajectory is projected to two dimensions. The printed feature is captured by a smartphone camera and is subsequently processed in order to retrieve the trajectory. An almost equally important element of the feature is a frame, especially designed to address matters of alignment, perspective correction, and coordinate transformations. Aside form the main field of nonlinear dynamics, the proposed scheme makes use of concepts and methods from the fields of image processing, digital photography, and numerical analysis.

Factors Affecting the Participation Rate of Women in the Labor Force in Lima Puluh Kota Regency Using Probit Regression Analysis
Authors: Mutiya Zulfa  , Helma
Published: May 2024

Labor currently plays a very important role in a country's economy. In the labour sector, women still experience discrimination, which causes the Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) of women to remain low compared to men. The LFPR of men in Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota is higher than the LFPR of women. In 2022, the female LFPR was 63.75%, meaning that of the total labour force, around 63.75% of them were working or looking for work. This study aims to determine the factors that influence women's participation in the labour force in Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota. This research is applied using the probit regression analysis method. The data used is secondary data, which is microdata from the National Labor Force Survey (SAKERNAS). Based on the results of the analysis, the factors that influence the level of women's participation in the labour force in Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota in 2022 are education level, age, job training status, and status as head of household.

Authors: Egbert Rebecca J. , Basu Puja , Refsal Kent R. , Petroff Margaret G. , Petroff Brian K.
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to follow long-term changes in the concentration of thyroid hormones in dogs with subclinical thyroiditis.

SAMPLES

Samples were obtained from 125 dogs with subclinical thyroiditis. The study population included 70 female and 55 male dogs. The mean testing interval was 3.9 years from initial testing (SD, 2.3 years; range, 1 to 9 years).

METHODS

Dogs with subclinical thyroiditis were identified retrospectively using results from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals Canine Thyroid Profile performed by the Endocrinology Section of the Michigan State University Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. Owners were invited to submit follow-up serum samples with their veterinarian along with a medical history form, including subsequent treatments.

RESULTS

At the time of retesting, 30% of the dogs had progressed to hypothyroidism and/or were treated with thyroxine. Fifty percent maintained positive or equivocal thyroglobulin autoantibody (TgAA) results while remaining euthyroid. Fourteen percent of the dogs became TgAA negative and remained euthyroid. In 6% of the cases tested, proper medical histories were not available, and a final classification could not be determined.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

These results indicate that most dogs with elevated thyroglobulin autoantibodies either exhibit persistent autoimmune thyroiditis with continued risk of hypothyroidism or progress to hypothyroidism when monitored for more than 1 year. Thyroid function in dogs with subclinical thyroiditis should be monitored every 12 months or if there is change in the clinical presentation.

Enhanced distractor filtering in habituation contexts: Learning to ignore is easier in familiar environments
Authors: De Tommaso Matteo , Chiandetti Cinzia , Turatto Massimo
Published: May 2024

Habituation mechanisms play a pivotal role in enabling organisms to filter out irrelevant stimuli and concentrate on essential ones. Through repeated exposure, the brain learns to disregard stimuli that are irrelevant, effectively ceasing to respond to potentially distracting input. Previous studies have demonstrated that the orienting response to visual distractors disrupting visual detection tasks habituates as tasks progress and distractors are encountered repeatedly, as their initial interference diminishes. Theoretical models posit that this reduction is contingent upon the establishment of an internal representation of external stimuli. Moreover, further studies have indicated that habituation can be context- specific, suggesting that the mechanisms involved incorporate information about features of irrelevant stimuli that extend beyond their discrete characteristics. In this contribution, we further delved into the question of whether the context in which habituation occurs retains a general habituative capacity when a new, to-be-ignored stimulus is introduced. We discuss evidence indicating that the context in which habituation has already taken place facilitates the habituation process for a new stimulus. This suggests that it becomes easier to ignore new stimuli in contexts where we have already learned to disregard other stimuli, underscoring the intricate interplay between habituation, context, and attentional processes.
The Development of Interim Measures Procedure in Cases Against Poland Before CJEU
Authors: Cieśliński Aleksander
Published: May 2024

This article presents a contemporary model of applying interim measures by the Court of Justice of the European Union, drawing on an increasingly rich body of case law in Polish cases. The disputes that the European Commission has engaged in with the Polish government, along with the non-standard obstruction in compliance with EU law, have become the basis for a new approach to this ancillary procedure offered by the Rules of Procedure of the Court. The article focuses on two sensitive areas where judicial intervention has proved necessary, the protection of the natural environment and ensuring the rule of law, especially in the operation of the national judiciary. There is no doubt that this body of work constitutes a significant contribution to the overall development of EU law, as it has led to the adoption of a completely new interpretation of Article 279 TFEU. According to the latest case law, the possibility of imposing financial penalties on member states is not limited to cases provided for in Article 260 TFEU, that is, non-compliance with a judgment finding a breach of EU law; these penalties can also be imposed in cases of non-compliance with the Court’s interim orders.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or autism is a group of neurological developmental disorders that impact social life and can manifest as difficulties in communication. The challenges faced by children with autism should not serve as a reason to treat them differently from parents or the surrounding community. They are entitled to a decent life and the same comfort as other typically developing children. Children with autism often exhibit remarkable potential and talent in various fields such as arts, music, mathematics, computer science, and more. Despite facing difficulties in communication and social interaction, they possess unique intelligence and creativity. According to a 2019 study conducted by the University of California, Davis, gradual methods such as observation, communication with parents, skills testing, collaboration with professionals, exploring activities, and providing support and praise have proven effective in uncovering the talents of children with autism. The ultimate goal of this research is to create an inclusive environment that supports the development of children with autism, enabling them to thrive and make meaningful contributions in various aspects of life. The study aims to discover the hidden talents and potentials of children aged 6-17 with autism, with the hope that it will contribute to enhancing their quality of life.

Mereka berhak mendapatkan kehidupan yang layak dan memiliki kenyamanan yang sama dengan anak normal lainnya. Anak-anak penyandang autisme sering kali memiliki potensi dan bakat yang luar biasa dalam berbagai bidang seperti seni, musik, matematika, ilmu pengetahuan komputer dan lainnya. Meskipun menghadapi kesulitan dalam berkomunikasi dan berinteraksi sosial, mereka memiliki kecerdasan dan kreativitas yang unik. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh University of California, Davis pada tahun 2019 menyatakan bahwa metode bertahap seperti observasi, komunikasi dengan orang tua, pengujian keterampilan, berkolaborasi dengan professional, eksplorasi kegiatan dan dukungan dan pujian, metode-metode tersebut terbukti efektif dalam menemukan potensi bakat pada anak penyandang autisme. Penelitian ini bertujuan akhir untuk menciptakan lingkungan yang inklusif dan mendukung anak penyandang autisme agar mereka dapat berkembang dan memberikan kontribusi yang berarti dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan tanpa dibatasi oleh spektrum autisme yang mereka miliki dan untuk menemukan bakat dan potensi anak penyandang autisme yang masih terpendam dari anak berusia 6-17 tahun dengan harapan penelitian ini dapat membantu meningkatkan kualitas hidup mereka.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an unusual clinico-radiological entity with a risk of developing life-threatening complications which have various etiologies. Radiological imaging helps image the typical features of enlarged ovaries and also helps rule out associated complications. Based on the severity of the clinical manifestations and corresponding radiological findings, grading systems have been devised as well. In this case report, we wish to highlight the features of this rare entity, that is, spontaneous OHSS, secondary to primary hypothyroidism in a young female who presented with acute abdomen.

Published: May 2024

Produksi lobak di Kalimantan Barat mengalami penurunan tiap tahunnya, hal ini dikarenakan luas panen lobak yang semakin berkurang sehingga mempengaruhi hasil yang ada. Tanah gambut yang digunakan sebagai media untuk budidaya lobak memiliki kendala yaitu rendahnya unsur hara dan memiliki pH masam, sehingga diperlukan upaya untuk memperbaiki kendala pada tanah gambut yaitu dengan pemberian POC limbah buah tomat dan pupuk KCl. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Kebun Percobaan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Tanjungpura dari tanggal 22 Januari sampai 6 Maret 2023. Penelitian menggunakan metode RAL Faktorial, Faktor pertama POC limbah buah tomat (P) dengan 3 taraf perlakuan yaitu : p1 = 40 ml/l p2 = 60 ml/l p3 = 80 ml/l Faktor kedua pupuk kalium (KCl) dengan 3 taraf perlakuan yaitu : k1 = 50 kg/ha setara dengan 0,2 g/tanaman k2 = 150 kg/ha setara dengan 0,6 g/tanaman k3 = 250 kg/ha setara dengan 1 g/tanaman. Variabel penelitian yaitu berat kering, jumlah daun, berat segar atas tanaman, berat segar umbi, panjang umbi, dan diameter umbi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan interaksi pengaruh POC limbah buah tomat dan KCl berpengaruh nyata terhadap berat segar atas tanaman, pemberian POC berpengaruh nyata terhadap jumlah daun, berat kering tanaman dan berat segar atas tanaman, sedangkan pemberian KCl berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap jumlah daun, berat kering tanaman, berat segar atas tanaman, berat segar umbi, panjang umbi dan diameter umbi. Dosis POC limbah buah tomat 80 ml/l dan KCl 50 kg/ha merupakan dosis yang efektif untuk pertumbuhan lobak pada tanah gambut, dosis tersebut nyata meningkatkan rerata berat segar atas tanaman yaitu 96,67 g per tanaman.

Terung (Solanum melongena L.) adalah tanaman asli daerah tropis, produktivitas tanaman terung di Kalimantan Barat masih di bawah produktivitas nasional. Pemanfaatan lahan marginal seperti tanah alluvial banyak mengalami kendala, secara umum memiliki kesuburan yang rendah. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan usaha memperbaiki kesuburan tanah dengan penambahan amelioran organik berupa biochar tankos dikombinasikan biochar kotoran ayam dan pupuk NPK majemuk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh amelioran organik terhadap ketersediaan NPK tanah terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman terung putih. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan dua faktor dan tiga ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah biochar tankos : biochar kotoran ayam perbandingan 50% : 50% dengan dosis yaitu 10 ton/ha ; 20 ton/ha dan 30 ton/ha. Faktor kedua adalah dosis pupuk NPK majemuk yaitu 75% ; 50% dan 25%. Masing–masing faktor diulang sebanyak 3 kali sehingga diperoleh 27 unit percobaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa biochar tankos dikombinasikan biochar kotoran ayam dan pupuk NPK majemuk secara masing-masing berpengaruh nyata terhadap pH H2O, P-tersedia, K-tersedia dan tinggi tanaman namun berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap C-organik dan N-total tanah. Dosis terbaik pemberian biochar adalah B3M1 yaitu 30 ton/ha (1,260 g/polybag) dan pupuk NPK majemuk 75% (22,5 g/polybag), meningkatkan produksi terung sebesar 20%.
