Authors: Zhang Zhong-Bin , Yu Cong , Liu Yang , Cao Li-Hua
Published: July 2019

The accurate thermal conductivity of fouling plays a very significant role in designing heat exchanger. In this paper, a novel method of calculating the effective thermal conductivity of particulate fouling is put forward by using IMAGE-PRO-PLUS image processing, the finite element method and ANSYS parametric design language. First of all, according to the analysis on the particulate fouling samples features, the particulate fouling is considered as porous media with fractal characteristics, whose microscopic network model is established using the finite element method, and each unit body material properties are randomly assigned by ANSYS parametric design language. Secondly, effective thermal conductivity of particulate fouling model is calculated by the steady-state plate method. Then, the influence of particulate fouling micro-structure on effective thermal conductivity is explored. Last, it is also show that the calculation resulting of effective thermal conductivity agrees well with available experimental data and empirical correlation. Moreover, it has been shown that effective thermal conductivity of particulate fouling is closely associated with the porosity and pore size. The method can be used to research on the thermal conductivity of fouling, discuss the influence of micro-structure on effective thermal conductivity of fouling, and provide the guidelines for designing of heat exchanger on calculating accurate thermal conductivity of fouling.
Thermo diffusion aspects in Jeffrey nanofluid over periodically moving surface with time dependent thermal conductivity
Authors: Ullah Khan Sami , Ali Shehzad Sabir , Munir Abbasi Fahad , Hussain Arshad Shahid
Published: July 2019

Double diffusion flow of Jeffrey fluid in presence of nanoparticles is studied theoretically under time dependent thermal conductivity. The considered nanoparticles are evaporated over convectively heated surface which moves periodically in its own plane. The appropriate dimensionless variables are employed to obtain the dimensionless forms of governing equations. We computed the analytical solution of non-linear differential equations by utilizing homotopy analysis method. The present investigation reveals the features of various emerging parameters like Deborah number, combined parameter, oscillation frequency to stretching rate ratio, Prandtl number, Lewis number, thermophoresis parameter, Brownian motion parameter, nano Lewis number, modified Dufour parameter, and Dufour solutal Lewis number. A useful enhancement in movement of nanoparticles is observed by utilizing the combined magnetic and porosity effects. Unlike traditional studies, present analysis is confined with the unsteady transportation phenomenon from periodically moving surfaces. Such computation may be attributable in flow results from tensional vibrations due to stretching and elastic surfaces. The simulation presented here can be attractable significance in the bioengineered nanoparticles manufacturing. It is observed that the heat transportation of nanoparticles may efficiently enhance through the utilization of variable thermal conductivity. The solutal concentration decreases with increasing Deborah number and Lewis number. It is further noted that the nano Lewis number causes reduction of nanoparticles concentration.
Analytical Procedures: Are More Good Ideas Always Better for Audit Quality?

Published: July 2019

Analytical procedures are critical to the financial statement auditing process and involve the auditor generating and considering multiple explanations for account fluctuations. We examine whether generating more or fewer explanations during analytical procedures improves audit quality. Research from fields outside of accounting suggests that generating many explanations can exacerbate judgment biases. We conduct an experiment with 92 senior auditors from two Big 4 firms to investigate whether the generation of more plausible explanations about potential misstatements hinders professional skepticism by increasing auditors' tendencies to anchor on client-provided explanations. We find that the generation of more plausible explanations increases the perceived difficulty of the task, which leads to anchoring on client explanations. Increased anchoring results in reduced assessments of fraud risk, an important component of the risk assessment process. These findings suggest that generating more explanations during analytics procedures can be counterproductive.
The Effects of Ambiguity on Loss Contingency Evaluation by Auditors and Investors
Authors: Du Ning , Mindak Mary P. , Whittington Ray , McEnroe John E.
Published: July 2019

The objective of this study is to provide additional evidence regarding the effect of ambiguity on auditors' and investors' judgments when they evaluate managers' disclosures about loss contingencies. Inspired by Nelson and Kinney (1997), we conducted an experiment where auditors and investors evaluate management's loss disclosures. We manipulate the probability of loss at three levels and the uncertainty about the ambiguity at two levels. Our results show that both auditors and investors appear to be aggressive toward financial reporting choices, and are less willing to recommend a loss contingency disclosure when there is ambiguity. Our results extend prior accounting literature and highlight the importance of understanding imprecise estimates in financial reporting. We found that auditors and investors reacted very similarly toward ambiguity in loss disclosures. This result may reflect a narrowing of the expectations gap around reporting accounting estimates and highlight the potential improvements in users' confidence in accountants.
Multiple Regulators and Accounting Restatements: Evidence from Canada
Authors: Burnett Brian M. , Hart Daphne , Jorgensen Bjorn N. , Martin Gregory W.
Published: July 2019

Canada delegates securities regulation to the provincial securities regulators where each Canadian firm is headquartered. Legal origin theories predict weaker enforcement due to less emphasis on accounting in civil law jurisdictions, like Quebec. Consistent with these theories, we find fewer restatements for non-U.S. cross-listed firms headquartered in Quebec relative to the rest of Canada (ROC), which has a common law legal origin. When subject to two securities regulators—a Canadian provincial securities regulator and the Securities and Exchange Commission—Quebec firms cross-listed in the U.S. restate at a rate similar to the ROC. Finally, we document that Canadian firms restate less frequently after adopting IFRS, consistent with more principles-based standards being more difficult to enforce ex post than more rules-based standards.
Diversified Firms and Analyst Earnings Forecasts: The Role of Management Guidance at the Segment Level
Authors: André Paul , Filip Andrei , Moldovan Rucsandra
Published: July 2019

Using a unique, manually collected dataset, we are the first to analyze the role that management guidance at the segment level plays for the financial analyst earnings forecasts of diversified firms. About half of the diversified European firms in the sample provide segment-level guidance (SLG), with considerable variation in precision and disaggregation. We find that (1) analyst earnings forecast errors are smaller, and (2) the magnitude of disagreement between individual forecasts and the average forecast is lower for firms that provide SLG, beyond the effect of group-level guidance. The results hold in matched samples and within-firm analyses around SLG initiation. We further show that the results are stronger in situations characterized by higher information asymmetry, but not in situations characterized by operational complexity. Overall, the results imply that SLG mitigates, to some extent, the difficult task that financial analysts face when valuing diversified companies.
Product Market Competition and Managerial Pay
Authors: Karuna Christo
Published: July 2019

In this study I find that product substitutability has a negative relation with pay-earnings but no relation with pay-stock return sensitivity, whereas market size and ease of entry have no relation with pay-earnings but a positive relation with pay-stock return sensitivity. These findings collectively imply that firms in more competitive industries place less reliance on earnings-based and greater reliance on stock-based measures to determine managerial compensation than firms in less competitive industries. I also find that product substitutability has a positive relation whereas market size and ease of entry have negative relations with managerial pay levels, suggesting different dimensions of product market competition may have independent influences on managerial pay design. Finally, I find that industry regulation has a positive relation with pay-earnings but a negative relation with pay-stock return sensitivity. This study's findings suggest a contextual approach to examining the relation between industry attributes and managerial pay.

Marfan syndrome (MS) is an autosomal dominant inherited connective tissue disease. The systemic complications of this disorder occur due to osteo-articular, cardiovascular, and ophthalmologic alterations. The cardiovascular involvement of MS is characterized mainly by aortic root and arch changes, resulting in increased susceptibility for the development of aneurysms. In the present study, we describe a case of type B abdominal aortic dissection in a patient with MS followed by spinal cord ischemia that rapidly evolved to paraplegia. Although rare, medullary ischemia is associated with a poor prognosis, as noted in the present case, wherein the patient died.

Authors: Raju D. Dr. Srinivas , CG Dr. Jagadesha
Published: July 2019

Current estimates indicate that 8.3% of the adult population, or 71.4 million people, have diabetes in 2011, 61.3 million of whom are in India. The incidence rate for type 1 diabetes in India was frequently used in extrapolation for other countries in the region and therefore plays a pivotal role in the estimates. We evaluated the ventilatory function of type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Spirometry and DLCO conducted in patients who have never smoked, with no history of lower respiratory illness and at examination did not have any respiratory symptoms like nasal itching, nasal congestion, running nose, dry throat, hoarseness, epistaxis, sneezing, pain suggestive of sinusitis, cough, expectoration and dyspnea were included. DLCO <80% is statistically similar in two groups with P=0.431. Mean FEV1/FVC (measured %) according to Diabetic duration, diabetic treatment, diabetic complications and DLCO in Type II DM patents was significant. Spirometric values were consistently lower in subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus than in Type 2 diabetics. The effect on the FVC was even more pronounced in diabetics who had duration of disease longer than 5 years, and the effect was not explained by the difference in age alone. Subjects with poorer diabetic control have worse spirometric function. Non-enzymatic glycosylation of connective tissue, especially the collagen, may be responsible for reduced lung functions.

Organic Learning in Undergraduate Library Instruction
Authors: Nagra Kanu A , López-Fitzsimmons Bernadette M
Published: July 2019

Organic learning engages undergraduates in discovering new knowledge based on prior learning through variety of guided activities that stimulate inquiry-based learning and critical thinking in the research process. Some activities include searching, browsing, accessing, gathering, evaluating, assessing, reflecting, organizing, linking, and synthesizing.  Learning how to access information by using a variety of search strategies as well as delivery platforms such as Google, discovery, individual databases, and the internet can be overwhelming and challenging.  When students discover how to search and access desired sources through a variety of explicitly designed information literacy instructions with clearly defined learning outcomes, they take ownership of developing their learning and research skills. Through organic learning, they experience lightbulb moments, asking questions, discussing topics, and then searching again for more information.  Organic learning unconsciously involves students in self-education, engaging them in the research process without pressuring them to practice redundant, rote exercises. Often undergraduates encounter difficulty in conceptualizing the research process as complex and multi-faceted. The authors argue that organic learning strategies to activate prior learning that builds advanced searching skills and increase new scholarly knowledge.

Agricultural land that is owned by a cord (Absentee) is legally prohibited. Because the ownership of the Absentee-owned Agricultural Land distances the ideals and spirit of land reform as the basic rule of every National Agrarian law. Absentee land tenure is prohibited because it can restore a very detrimental Landlord system especially to local farmers residing in Absentee land. True agricultural land should be utilized and done in an effort to meet the productivity that will raise the economy nationally. However, Government Regulation No. 4 of 1977 concerning Agricultural Land Ownership by Clothes (Absentee) for Retired Civil Servants states that "a Servant within 2 (two) years preceding retirement allowed to buy agricultural land in guntai (absentee) covering an area of up to 2/5 of a part the maximum limit of land tenure for the relevant Level II Regions. ". Is the ban on the ownership of farmland in a strand (Absentee) applies to all the people of Indonesia ?. The prohibition of land ownership does not apply to Civil Servants State From the provisions of the law above can be concluded that Civil Servants (PNS) can have Absentee land because it is considered Civil Servants have been credited as a driver of the state system. However, with the conditions set forth in the legislation. Civil Servants or Retired Civil Servants who have farmland by hand (Absentee) can make a profit-sharing system as an effort to manage the absentee land to be more productive again by sticking to the prevailing laws and regulations.

GAMBARAN SELF-ESTEEM BERDASARKAN TINGKAT COMMUNICATION APPREHESION PADA MAHASISWA FAKULTAS PSIKOLOGI UNIVERSITAS PADJADJARAN
Authors: Amir Nurjihan Begum , Witriani '
Published: July 2019

Mahasiswa Fakultas Psikologi UNPAD dituntut memiliki kompetensi berkomunikasi yang baik. Data awal menunjukkan terdapat indikasi mahasiswa mengalami perasaan cemas saat berkomunikasi di depan umum ketika proses pembelajaran berlangsung yang disebut sebagai Communication Apprehension (CA). Communication Apprehension adalah level ketakutan atau kecemasan yang dimiliki individu baik ketika membayangkan maupun pada saat berbicara dengan seseorang atau orang banyak (McCroskey, 1984). Pada proses komunikasi, Self memegang peranan penting terutama Self-Esteem. Self-Esteem menentukan bagaimana individu memandang pesan, merespon pesan, dan menginterpretasikan pesan. Self-Esteem adalah sikap individu baik positif maupun negatif terhadap dirinya secara keseluruhan (Rosenberg, 1995). Self-Esteem berperan sebagai filter di setiap interaksi dengan orang lain.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana gambaran Self-Esteem berdasarkan tingkat Communication Apprehension pada mahasiswa Fakultas Psikologi UNPAD dengan menggunakan rancangan penelitian deskriptif. Partisipan pada penelitian ini sebanyak 234 mahasiswa yang terdiri dari 29 laki-laki dan 205 perempuan dengan masa studi berada pada tahun pertama (2017) sampai tahun ke empat (2014) yang diperoleh melalui teknik simple random sampling. Data diperoleh menggunakan alat ukur Communication Apprehension yang diterjemahkan dari McCorskey (1970) yaitu PRSPA dengan koefesien Cronbach’s Alpha sebesar 0.942 dan validitas menggunakan CFA yang menujukkan alat ukur tersebut good fit.  Serta alat ukur Self-Esteem dari Rosenberg (1965) yaitu SERS dengan coefesien Cronbach’s Alpha sebesar 0.827 dan validitas menggunakan CFA.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan mayoritas atau lebih dari setengah mahasiswa memiliki tingkat Self-Esteem tinggi (68.4%). Tinggi rendahnya Self-Esteem searah dengan tinggi rendahnya Self-Competence dan Self-Liking. Tinggi rendahnya CA berkebalikan dengan tinggi rendahnya Self-Esteem. Mayoritas mahasiswa mengalami kondisi CA sedang dan memiliki Self-Esteem tinggi. Hal ini ditemukan pada mahasiswa yang menyukai suku bangsanya (53.4%), berada pada rentang usia 18-21 tahun (50.8%) serta kategori tingkat prestasi sangat memuaskan dan dengan pujian (52.1%). Sedangkan, mayoritas mahasiswa dengan kategori prestasi akademik memuaskan memiliki Self-Esteem rendah. Jenis kelamin laki-laki mayoritas berada pada tingkat CA rendah dan Self-Esteem tinggi (6.8%). Sedangkan untuk responden dengan jenis kelamin perempuan mayoritas berada pada kategori tingkat CA sedang dan Self-Esteemtinggi (50.4%).

A região sul do estado do Amazonas vem sofrendo recentemente com a substituição de áreas de floresta por atividades agrícolas e pecuária. O avanço dessas atividades, sem levar em consideração as condições estruturais do solo, pode causar danos ao ambiente, podendo esgotá-los. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a dependência espacial da resistência à penetração e umidade em relação a profundidade do solo de Terra Preta Arqueológica sob cultivo de café Conilon no sul do estado do Amazonas. Foi delimitado uma malha amostral de 88x64 metros, com espaçamento regular de oito metros, perfazendo um total de 88 pontos amostrais. Nesses locais, foram coletadas amostras de solo nas profundidades de 0-5, 5-10 e 10-20 cm. Foram realizadas análises de textura, resistência a penetração do solo e umidade volumétrica. Os resultados das análises de solos foram submetidos à análise estatística clássica e espacial. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a resistência à penetração e umidade volumétrica do solo possuem moderada a forte dependência espacial nas profundidades de 0-5, 5-10 e 10-20 cm. O teor de água no solo afetou consideravelmente a variabilidade espacial da resistência à penetração; quanto menor o teor de água, menor foi a dependência espacial.

El principal objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la influencia de diferentes formatos de juego reducido (JR) en la carga interna medida mediante el esfuerzo percibido (CI EP) declarado por los futbolistas, y en el rendimiento del salto horizontal (SH) y la capacidad de acelerar y esprintar. Diez futbolistas cadetes (sub-16) participaron en el estudio. Los jugadores disputaron 4 formatos de JR con modificaciones en el espacio de juego y en la duración de las repeticiones. Los participantes realizaron un esprint de 30 m y un SH antes y después de cada repetición y también declararon el EP. Los resultados mostraron una mayor CI EP. Además, se observó un empeoramiento del esprint en 10 y 30 m después de la última repetición. Este conocimiento podría ayudar a los cuerpos técnicos a establecer de manera más apropiada la duración total y de cada repetición de los JRs.
Surface Mines of Mining Area Žacléř – Creating and Using of Financial Reserves for Remediation and Reclamation
Authors: Honová Kristýna , Mališ Jiří
Published: July 2019

Companies engaged in mining are legally obliged to ensure remediation and reclamation of land affected by mining. Creation and use of financial reserves are subject to approval and control of the Mining Authorities. However, the methodology of creating financial reserves is decided by the mining company itself. In the paper, we describe the methods of creating financial reserves of a specific mining company GEMEC Union for remediation and reclamation after coal surface mining. The paper provides chronological comparisons of coal mining in two open pit mines, including the principles for creating and using financial reserves for remediation and reclamation.
Results and Use of Non-Linear Behavior Between Length and Bond Friction of Fully Grouted Rock Bolts in Selected Jointed Rock Masses
Authors: Holý Ondřej
Published: July 2019

The anchor length db of rock bolts is often determined empirically by the insertion of the bond friction constant τb at the grout-rock interface. The relationship between force Fb by limit bond stress and bond length (or bond area) is their ratio. Within the same location, the anchor length can be overestimated or underestimated by usage τb = constant. In this paper, the results of load tests of passive rock bolts were analyzed across the many rocks of the Bohemian Massif using selected parameters (RQD index, GSI values, bulk density ρv, uniaxial compressive strength UCS) and their correlation. It was found that the relationship between the anchor length and the limit bound friction is non-linear and is influenced by selected parameters and the type of anchor grouting material (cement and resin). It was considered a state where τb = f (db, Fb, ρv, UCS, RQD, GSI) for 3 types of bonding (1-cement sealing, 2-cement grouting, 3-mixing of resin cartridge). The achieved and measured bond friction was verified by solving the polynomial roots using the CG (conjugate gradient) method. The accuracy of the results reached the maximum mean difference value absΔτb = 0.02 MPa and the standard deviation SD = 0.058. With this verified model, a simulation of random variables was performed by the Monte Carlo method for Fb = const. with the uniform and normal distribution with n = 1500 samples. The results were converted to diagrams represented by the mean value of the uniform distribution (best fit curves) and the normal distribution envelope curves (for 3σ).

Building collapse has been a recurrent environmental hazard in Nigeria in the last two decades. This is a corollary of inadequate foundation investigation prior to construction, poor government policies, and general lack of awareness on the importance of geophysical and geotechnical investigations. In this study, geological mapping and detailed geophysical investigation using Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) and Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) were carried out to understand the suitability of proposed building sites at the main campus of the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, Nigeria for construction. Both Wenner array and dipole-dipole were used for profiling and Schlumberger for sounding. Four transverses and VES were used in each of the three areas investigated. Our results show that the subsurface of the study areas is underlain by Precambrian basement rock of Nigeria. Rocks in the study area include banded gneiss, porphyroblastic gneiss, biotite-hornblende granite and quartzite schist. The sounding stations across the three areas and 2D resistivity imaging revealed three principal geoelectric layers, the topsoil, the weathered layer and the fractured/fresh basement with varied resistivity values for each layers. At the VES stations, the three geoelectric layers have resistivity values of 62 to 1182 Ωm, 3.2 to 1360Ωm and 87 to 4680 Ωm. On the 2D resistivity imaging profiles, the resistivity of the three layers varies from 2 to 1182 Ωm, 30to 1360 Ωm, and 40 to 2904 Ωm for the topsoil, the weathered basement, and fractured/fresh bedrock. Our work demonstrates that some of the proposed sites are structurally incompetent for engineering or foundation purposes. Excavation of the topsoil and reinforcement are required to sustain the proposed structures.
