Authors: Lubis Citra Windy , Kesuma Sambas Ade , Muda Iskandar
Published: May 2023

Tax avoidance is an act of legally reducing taxes or taking advantage of loopholes in tax laws. Some aspects of corporate governance that are often used in tax avoidance research are ETR, Incentives, company board composition, company ownership structure, Auditor Quality, and customers. This study uses a literature review research method using 34 articles related to tax avoidance and corporate governance starting from 2006 – 2022. More research on tax avoidance was carried out in 2018 with the aspect of governance that is most often researched is the structure of corporate ownership which is more many use agency theory as a basis for research. A low ETR reflects a low tax burden resulting from tax evasion. Empirical evidence suggests that an independent and strong board composition will have a negative impact on tax evasion. The company's ownership structure has an impact on the separation of ownership and control which can encourage tax evasion. The auditor's reputation is the most important thing that must be maintained by an auditor so that it is likely that the auditor is less tolerant of companies trying to avoid taxes committed by their clients. Customers can be used as a tax strategy that companies can use to avoid taxes

Desenvolvimento e análise mecânica ex vivo de duas novas placas de reconstrução bloqueadas para fraturas cominutivas de rádio de Lobo-guará e fêmur de Tamanduá-bandeira
Authors:   , Silva Maria de Fátima Cotta da
Published: May 2023

O alto índice de atropelamentos tem sido discutido como a principal causa de politraumatismos e morte de espécies ameaçadas de extinção em território brasileiro. Variações anatômicas apresentadas nos ossos do Lobo-guará (Chrysocyon brachyurus) e do Tamanduá-bandeira (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) são um fator dificultador para a escolha do implante. Diante disto, o desenvolvimento de novos implantes, baseados em estudos de biomecânica aplicada à estas espécies, pode otimizar o planejamento cirúrgico e beneficiar a recuperação do osso afetado, impactando positivamente na preservação destas espécies. O objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver duas novas placas de reconstrução bloqueadas, uma em formato de T invertido, para rádio de Lobo-guará e outra em forma de L, para fêmur de Tamanduá-bandeira e, fixá-las com função ponte em ossos cadavéricos. Em seguida, realizar análise mecânica por meio de testes de compressão axial nas novas placas e em modelo de placa bloqueada Locking Compression Plate (LCP). Foram analisados carregamento máximo, rigidez, deslocamento e limite de escoamento em ensaio estático de bancada para as duas novas placas. No grupo do rádio de Lobo-guará foram realizadas simulações computacionais em carregamento estático e dinâmico com a placa T aplicada de duas formas diferentes (parafusos juntos ou alternandos) em dois modelos de fratura diafisária, média e distal, sob aplicação de três cargas diferentes 90,190 e 320N, correspondente à estação, caminhada e trote. Os resultados apresentados entre a nova placa T e o modelo LCP no teste estático de bancada foram similares entre si. Nas simulações computacionais o melhor desempenho foi observado nas placas aplicadas com parafusos juntos, sob 90N. As tensões máximas se concentraram no interior das perfurações e houve diminuição severa da vida em fadiga com aumento da carga. Para a nova placa testada no fêmur, foram observadas diferenças estatísticas no carregamento máximo e deslocamento com relação a placa LCP, sendo os maiores valores observados na placa LCP. Conclui-se que as novas placas desenvolvidas para o rádio de Lobo-guará e fêmur de Tamanduá-bandeira possibilitaram cobertura e alinhamento ósseo satisfatórios, além de desempenho mecânico semelhante à placa LCP. Portanto, ambas as placas podem ser utilizadas para o tratamento de fraturas cominutivas em rádio e ulna de Lobo-guará e fêmur de Tamanduá-bandeira e, são uma alternativa segura para osteossíntese em outras espécies que apresentem características ósseas e exigências mecânicas semelhantes às das espécies estudas.

Pilot study: follow-up of patients examined in the Reference Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders in the year 2005-2006

Little is known about the long-term functioning, social inclusion and participation in society of patients diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in childhood. Moreover, previous research mainly focuses on the impact of diagnosis on psychological functioning and autism symptoms. In addition, studies show conflicting results.

The aim of this pilot study is to use a descriptive study to research the long-term social inclusion and participation in society in Flemish (young) adults who were examined at childhood in the Reference Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders (RCA) in Antwerp. To map this out, level of education, employment, living situation and relationships were surveyed. Fifty-three (young) adults with ASD or originally suspected ASD (mean age 23.5 years, SD = 2.6), examined for ASD between the ages of 1 and 18 years, participated in the study. Results show that (young) adults with a childhood diagnosis of ASD are 4 times less likely to obtain a university degree than the general population, and only 1 in 6 experience supportive measures at work. Which factors play a role needs to be further investigated. This allows additional information to be collected that may be necessary when developing treatment programs and optimizing support for young people with ASD in the transition to adulthood. After all, social inclusion, participation in society and fulfilling the most important life tasks (education, employment, living situation, …) promote both the quality of life and the general well-being of adults with ASD.

Also, because the Internet is based on modern technology that combines text, audio, and images simultaneously, contractors can express themselves in any way they see fit. Also, the expression of the will is determined according to rules in general when it is through modern electronic means, and when it is mostly a voluntary expression, whether explicitly or implicitly, by electronic means. The will appears via the Internet only explicitly, and after confirmation by technical means before the final choice, and the possibility of expressing the will via the Internet has reached a point of convergence between electronic contracts and traditional contracts. It does not matter whether this expression takes the form of customary or official writing, whether it is public or private, by hand or by technical means, signed or unsigned, original or photographed, whether it was transmitted directly or by photograph or a term on it or otherwise, and whether it was done directly. between the contracting parties or between them by means of various modern devices

Published: May 2023

Behind the spread of a large number of false news lies in the fact that most people do not verify the validity of the information they receive, and they take the initiative to share it immediately, which leads to its spread quickly as wildfire spreads. According to a study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2018, fake news and rumors spread on social media much faster than real news. The researchers explained the reason behind this in the ability of this type of false or misleading news to create great feelings of fear or astonishment, and people are more likely to read it and share it with others by browsing social networking sites

THE FUTUE OF LIBRARIES IN THE MENA REGION TREND, CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES
Authors: BAKELLI Yahia
Published: May 2023

Libraries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are affected by the repercussions of globalization, especially the "phenomenon of accelerating changes", which has become one of the most prominent features of the twenty-first century. To avoid confusion and loss of control, librarians must face the questions of the future. Depending on the analysis of specialized intellectual production, we aim to define a set of prospective questions: • What are the future roles of librarians and professional associations? • What are the amendments that should be made to the librarian profession to handle new trends? • What is the future of employment in the library sector? • What will the “over smart libraries” look like? • How will the libraries be affected by the equation of the dilemma of a printed book versus an electronic and a “TikTok’s” book? The study also aims to identify the most dominant trends that library and information experts expect and the serious problems that should be prepared for, based on the classification of the Center for the Future of Libraries of the American Library Association (ALA). These challenges are mainly about: • The impact of anticipated crises (epidemics, wars, etc.) on the financial capabilities related to employment and the risk of closing many libraries. • The growing phenomenon of the information explosion and its effects on the mechanisms for retrieving data and documents in libraries • The growing phenomenon of smart cities and the consequent emergence of smart and postsmart libraries. The growing phenomenon of artificial intelligence and the consequent destabilization of the library science identity as a human science discipline (integrating library departments in faculties of computer engineering). Moreover, we are reviewing opportunities that libraries can size to prove their position in the social and economic modern systems: • Libraries and services marketing to attract communities towards the practicing of information awareness as a strategic need required by knowledge economies. • Conducting educational curricula towards adopting libraries as a tool for building selflearning skills. • The use of positive psychology to improve life at workplaces of a library staff. The add-value of the current study is about the scarcity of similar studies related to the MENA region, especially those related to public libraries

Published: May 2023

Introduction

Based on ACR/EULAR classification criteria, minor salivary glands biopsy (MSGB) is a useful diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (SS). The main objective of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic role of MSGB, as well as to highlight correlations between histological findings and autoimmune profiles.

Material and methods

We retrospectively evaluated histological and autoimmunity data from patients who underwent MSGB in our department in cases of suspected SS, from March 2011 to December 2018. Salivary gland samples were evaluated using Chisholm and Mason (CM) grading and the focus score (FS).

Results

A total of 1,264 patients (108 males, 1,156 females) were included. The median age was 55.22 ±13.51 years (range: 15–87). In univariate binary logistic regression, CM ≥ 3 and FS ≥ 1 were significantly predicted by antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-extractable nuclear antigens (ENA) and anti-Ro/SSA titer as well as anti-La/SSB, anti-Ro/SSA, rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) positivity. In multivariate analysis, CM ≥ 3 and MSGB positivity were significantly associated with ANA titer; FS ≥ 1 was not associated with laboratory findings. A positive biopsy was associated with laboratory findings, as ANA and ENA titers, anti-Ro/SSA, anti-La/SSB, RF and ACPA positivity may discriminate patients with SS-related histological findings.

Conclusions

Minor salivary glands biopsy is a useful tool to diagnose SS in cases of highly suggestive clinical symptoms but in the absence of a specific autoimmunity.

The paper sought to identify the audiences of Nigerian movies in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study targeted Citizen and Kiss Televisions’ production managers, focus groups and Nigerian Movie fans. The samples were selected randomly from households. This study adopted a qualitative research method. The research consulted documentary sources on Nigerian movies in Kenya. This included gathering information from the internet, Newspapers and research done by Synovate on Nigerian movie audiences. The data obtained was analysed using descriptive statistics such as mean, mode, percentages, and frequencies. From the above conclusions, it can be realised that Nigeria is very diverse and a big country and so many films. You can even classify Nigerian so-called films or videos in all sorts of categories or genres. You can have people who prefer horror, city, gospel or love stories. Within the social and cultural context, it is all valid because the audience is demanding these things and it is responding to them. Therefore, the people have a right to their particular tastes.
Water deficit influence upon pollen grain production in cacao genotypes (Theobroma cacao)

Genetic improvement programs in cacao (Theobroma cacao L) have focused on obtaining new varieties with high yield and resistance to diseases. However, drought tolerance response has not been considered enough in order to face the climate change emergency. Events such as prolonged droughts or excessive rainfall can affect the pollen production of cacao flowers and others reproductive characteristics. Hence, this study was proposed to learn about the hydric deficit influence on pollen production of four Ecuadorian cacao genotypes. The results indicated statistical differences between CCN-51 and the "National" clones (P≤0.05). CCN-51 reached the highest pollen production values in the wettest treatment (26,546 ±100) compared to the “National” clones, which had no differences among them. There was a positive correlation between pollen production and the highest irrigation treatments (r=0.78), observing that while the water level was the highest, the pollen grain formation (PGF) increased, and the opposite when the water level diminished. It is concluded that the adequate water amount in the soil can increase pollen production. However, it is essential to emphasize the strong genetic influence on drought tolerance traits that could be severely affected by climatic changes. The CCN-51 and EET-575 clones should be considered when planning to develop drought-tolerant hybrids of cacao.

The author uses Ruth Wodak's discourse analysis model to analyze various texts related to current socio-political issues, such as news articles, political speeches, and social media. The author shows how discourse analysis can help understand how discourse shapes public perception and opinion on certain socio-political issues, as well as how discourse can be used to strengthen or undermine arguments and narratives in socio-political contexts. The author highlights the importance of critically analyzing discourse and considering the wider socio-political context. The case studies used in this article, such as the discourse on immigration in Europe, provide an illustration of how discourse can influence government policies and public views. Overall, this article makes an important contribution in analyzing discourse in a socio-political context and shows how Ruth Wodak's discourse analysis model can be used to analyze current socio-political issues. This article also provides a more critical look at how discourse can influence public views and government policies, and emphasizes the importance of analyzing discourse critically and considering the wider socio-political context.
ABSTRAK Penulis menggunakan model analisis diskursus Ruth Wodak untuk menganalisis berbagai teks yang terkait dengan isu sosial-politik terkini, seperti artikel berita, pidato politik, dan media sosial.

SOCIO-BEHAVIORAL ASPECTS OF THE PREVALENCE OF IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME AMONG MILITARY SERVICEMEN AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS
Authors: R. N. Halafova
Published: May 2023

Objective. Identification and assessment of socio-behavioral risk factors for the formation of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) among military personnel and members of their families (ARC). Material and technique. IBS was diagnosed according to Rome IV criteria. The level of emotional stress (ES) on the Rider scale. A total of 1977 cadets (aged 17–22) were examined. 326 officers (aged 24–55) and 257 of their wives (aged 23–51). Results and discussion. The detection rate of IBS among SCD varies from 18.7±2.2 to 22.2±2.6% (P > 0.05). IBS-C (constipation) is most often detected than IBS-D (diarrhea), because patients with diarrhea are more likely to visit doctors and receive treatment. In general, the medical negotiability of patients is poor and averages 30.7±2.3%, and 37.3±2.4% of patients carry out self-treatment, another 32.0±2.3% of patients tolerate the clinical manifestations of IBS (P > 0.05). When IBS is combined with other syndromes, medical negotiability increases to 62.1±9.2%. During the period of adaptation to the conditions of life and study at the school, the level of strong ES in cadets increases to 32.3±2.3%, as adaptation (after 4 years) it decreases to 3.4±1.1% (P < 0.001) . The incidence of IBS is higher in patients with poor housing conditions, incomplete marital status and tobacco addiction. Conclusion. Effective management of the identified socio-behavioral risk factors for the formation of IBS can significantly reduce the risk of SCD and their families with IBS.
