Authors: Schmidt Douglas Willian Nascimento , Cescon José Antonio , Brunozi Junior Antônio Carlos , Ferreira Julio César
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The objective of the study was to demonstrate the accounting treatment adopted by companies listed on B3, Novo Mercado, regarding the dispute over the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, as well as demonstrating the change in accounting treatment, following the decision of the Federal Supreme Court, favorable to companies in 2017, modulated in 2021.
Methodology: This research has a descriptive, documentary, and qualitative nature. The initial sample was composed of the financial statements (Balance Sheet, Income Statement for the Year and Notes and Explanations) of 80 companies in the Novo Mercado segment of Brazil, Stock Exchange and Counter - B3, between 2018 and 2021 (including). After initial analysis, companies that did not present information on tax credits arising from the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS Calculation Base were excluded, resulting in a final sample of 34 companies. In analyzing this data, Excel® spreadsheet systems and PDF readers (Foxit® and Adobe®) were used to search for information on the accounting treatment of credits arising from the exclusion of ICMS.
Results: The results demonstrate that there was a change in the accounting treatment of recording these tax credits. In 2017, 8/9; in 2018 12/18; in 2019 5/27; in 2020 5/29, and in 2021, 1/34 companies registered as Contingent Assets. The change in treatment began in 2018, with 6/18; in 2019, 22/27; In 2020, 24/29, and in 2021 33/34 companies registered as Assets to be Recovered. It was also found that credits arising from the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation base had a positive impact on the results presented by companies in the years 2018 to 2021.
Contributions of the Study: The main contribution of the study consists of showing that companies, faced with legal uncertainty in the country, make different accounting registration/recognition options when it comes to tax rights/obligations, as the subject supporting the object of the study has been discussed for almost decades until its outcome was favorable to companies in 2021.
The stock market's reaction to the mandatory disclosure of ESG information
Authors: Col Lopes Mateus Del , Jucá Michele Nascimento
Published: January 2025

Purpose: Analyze the impact of mandatory disclosure of ESG information in Brazil on the price of shares in the local market.
Methodology: This analysis is carried out through an event study, which refers to the publication of the Reference Form (FRE) of companies in the metal and mining sector - that are environmentally sensitive. The date of the event is the date of disclosure of each company's FRE, for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022.
Results: The results confirm the main hypothesis of this study: The mandatory disclosure of sustainability practices by Brazilian companies impacts the return on their shares. It is possible that the market understands that the short-term costs - related to the implementation of sustainability practices - still exceed the benefits that will lead to the appreciation of companies in the long term. However, the progressive integration of global markets foresees an alignment of sustainable practices that should reach the Brazilian market in the medium term.
Contributions of the Study: This research differs from others by finding that the mandatory disclosure of sustainability practices - by Brazilian companies - negatively impacts the return on their shares, after the implementation of Resolution no. 59/2021. It contributes to academia with the empirical analysis of the market efficiency hypothesis. Furthermore, its results can help companies, investors and the capital market to better understand the initial effects of mandatory publication of sustainable practices. Finally, this study also contributes to the stimulation or adaptation of policies defined by regulatory bodies on sustainability issues.
Adoption of the budget by competence in Brazil based on comparative experiences in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand
Authors: Gonçalves Andrew Pereira , Nascimento Roberto Sérgio do , Viotto Ricardo
Published: January 2025

Purpose: To analyze the feasibility of adopting competency budgeting in Brazil.
Methodology: Qualitative, exploratory, bibliographic, documental, and content analysis nature, with the cataloguing of the material based on environmental attributes (political commitment, human capital, long-term sustainability, and macroeconomic policy) and technical attributes (depreciation and valuation of assets, capital expenditure, symmetry between reports, recognition of benefits and accountability). The work is comparative in nature based on the practices adopted in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
Results: The examinations of environmental attributes in comparison with technical attributes were more homogeneous in reference to the countries analysed. It was identified that the technical attributes were the ones that were more casuistic, aiming to meet the specific situations of the participating countries. In Brazil, if the reform were implemented, the study pointed to attributes related to macroeconomic (environmental) policy and accountability (technical) as being the most favorable.
 Contributions of the Study: It was identified that the most advanced experiences on accrual budgeting come from countries of Anglo-Saxon origin, whose accounting systems are convergent with those used by companies. In this sense, it is hoped that the work can contribute to the broadening of the discussion of the systematics, in view of the indication of environmental and technical attributes considered to facilitate and/or hinder the process.

Published: January 2025

Background

Dental caries, a multifactorial tooth-related disease, is significantly influenced by microorganisms, like Streptococcus mutans. This bacterium causes dental caries and destruction by forming a biofilm on the tooth surface. This study aimed to prepare Hypericum perforatum nanoemulsion and evaluate its anti-biofilm effects against Streptococcus mutans bacteria.

Methods

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC), and Minimum Biofilm Inhibitory Concentration (MBIC) were used to assess the antimicrobial and anti-biofilm properties of the nanoemulsion.

Results

The results showed that the Hypericum perforatum nanoemulsion had less MIC, MBC, and MBIC than the free oil form (p=0.03, p=0.03, and p=0.02, respectively). The results also showed that the Hypericum perforatum nanoemulsion had less MIC and MBC than amikacin as a positive group (p=0.04 and p=0.04, respectively); however, the MBIC of nanoemulsion and amikacin was similar (p=0.07).

Conclusion

The studied nanoemulsion can be used as a potent and new material for preventing dental caries.
Antropogeen trauma bij zeezoogdieren en de beperkingen van het onderzoek
Authors: Perdang I. , Decostere A. , Chiers K. , Van Brantegem L.
Published: January 2025

Antropogeen trauma omvat elk middel dat of elke methode die schade toebrengt aan een zeezoogdier door een mens of als gevolg van menselijk handelen. De literatuur over antropogeen trauma bij zeezoogdieren is divers en uitgebreid. Autopsie is het belangrijkste middel om de doodsoorzaak te achterhalen. Belangrijke oorzaken van antropogeen trauma zijn akoestische pollutie, aanvaring en verstrikking. Het bewijzen van antropogeen trauma is dikwijls afhankelijk van de toestand van het karkas. De resultaten van het onderzoek leiden dikwijls tot advies met betrekking tot het nemen van maatregelen, onder meer om uitsterven van populaties of soorten tegen te gaan, maar verder onderzoek naar alternatief vissersmateriaal en het ontwikkelen van bijkomende maatregelen zijn noodzakelijk.
Schrikreacties, angst en doodsangst bij runderen
Authors: Deprez P.
Published: January 2025

In termen ook geschikt voor een lekenpubliek, waartoe -wat runderen betreft- de meeste jonge VDT-lezers behoren, wordt in kort bestek een overzicht gegeven van angst en schrikreacties bij dieren, met het rund als voorbeeld. Bij de beschrijving van de tocht van een koe van de boerderij naar de slacht, worden factoren belicht die angstaanjagend zijn voor het slachtdier en voor verbetering vatbaar zijn. Hoewel de dood voor het dier een totaal onbekend gegeven is, en er geen sprake kan zijn van doodsangst, is de slachtkoe in figuurlijke zin dodelijk angstig. Gewezen wordt op het groot belang van kennis daaromtrent, niet enkel voor al wie als eigenaar, veehouder, helper of dierenarts beroepsmatig omgaat met dieren, maar ook voor wie er occasioneel mee te maken krijgt.
Major Adverse Kidney Events in Hospitalized Older Patients With Acute Kidney Injury: Machine Learning–Based Model Development and Validation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Luo Xiao-Qin , Zhang Ning-Ya , Deng Ying-Hao , Wang Hong-Shen , Kang Yi-Xin , Duan Shao-Bin
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in hospitalized older patients, associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Major adverse kidney events within 30 days (MAKE30), a composite of death, new renal replacement therapy, or persistent renal dysfunction, has been recommended as a patient-centered endpoint for clinical trials involving AKI.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning–based model to predict MAKE30 in hospitalized older patients with AKI.

METHODS

A total of 4266 older patients (aged ≥ 65 years) with AKI admitted to the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2020, were included and randomly divided into a training set and an internal test set in a ratio of 7:3. An additional cohort of 11,864 eligible patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Ⅳ database served as an external test set. The Boruta algorithm was used to select the most important predictor variables from 53 candidate variables. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting algorithm was applied to establish a prediction model for MAKE30. Model discrimination was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). The SHapley Additive exPlanations method was used to interpret model predictions.

RESULTS

The overall incidence of MAKE30 in the 2 study cohorts was 28.3% (95% CI 26.9%-29.7%) and 26.7% (95% CI 25.9%-27.5%), respectively. The prediction model for MAKE30 exhibited adequate predictive performance, with an AUROC of 0.868 (95% CI 0.852-0.881) in the training set and 0.823 (95% CI 0.798-0.846) in the internal test set. Its simplified version achieved an AUROC of 0.744 (95% CI 0.735-0.754) in the external test set. The SHapley Additive exPlanations method showed that the use of vasopressors, mechanical ventilation, blood urea nitrogen level, red blood cell distribution width-coefficient of variation, and serum albumin level were closely associated with MAKE30.

CONCLUSIONS

An interpretable eXtreme Gradient Boosting model was developed and validated to predict MAKE30, which provides opportunities for risk stratification, clinical decision-making, and the conduct of clinical trials involving AKI.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

NONE

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluates differences in quality of life, anxiety, and depression between internet hospital follow-up and traditional outpatient follow-up for patients with epilepsy (PWE). It also explores innovative chronic disease management models for PWE.

METHODS

Eligible patients diagnosed with epilepsy were randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. Data were collected on demographics, clinical characteristics, and scores from the Quality of Life in Epilepsy-31 (QOLIE-31), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (NDDI-E). The control group received traditional outpatient follow-up, while the intervention group was managed via the internet hospital. Changes in quality of life, anxiety, and depression were assessed using the same scales after six months.

RESULTS

The study included 100 control patients and 101 in the intervention group. Internet hospital follow-up significantly improved overall QOLIE-31 scores, anxiety, and depression (P < 0.05). Similarly, outpatient follow-up improved these assessment items, except for life satisfaction, which showed no significant change (P < 0.05). Notably, patients with epilepsy managed via internet hospital follow-up showed significantly greater improvements in overall QOLIE-31 scores, other dimensional scores (excluding cognitive and social functions), and depression improvement rates compared to those under outpatient follow-up (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Long-term follow-up through internet hospitals effectively improves the quality of life and reduces anxiety and depression in patients with epilepsy. Internet hospital management is recommended as a feasible approach for chronic epilepsy care in clinical practice.

The participants completed all pre-clinical phase blocks (except elective blocks) and took Uji Tahap Bersama I and II during their respective periods. Purposive sampling, meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria, determined the sample. The secondary data, which included the results of Uji Tahap Bersama I and II as well as MCQ scores before remedial, were analyzed through regression using the Pearson correlation test. To determine the extent to which MCQ affects the UTB outcomes, the coefficient of determination (r2) is used, which is obtained from the square of the correlation coefficient (r). The findings were interpreted based on Colton's correlation interpretation guidelines. Results: The findings revealed significant correlations in all four analyses conducted. UTB I results correlated significantly with average MCQ scores for the 1st to 4th semesters, while UTB II results correlated substantially with average MCQ block scores for the 1st to 7th semesters across batches. These correlations ranged from moderate to very strong.Conclusion: This study establishes a noteworthy correlation between UTB results and the average MCQ scores among medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Andalas. The findings underscore the relevance of UTB as a formative assessment tool in maintaining and gauging the quality of medical education in Indonesia.
“I imagined Something Small”: Radio Writing in Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America
Authors: Xiaofei Li
Published: January 2025

American Jewish writer Philip Roth reimagines the history of the United States between 1940-1942 in his novel The Plot Against America. Such alternative historical imagination is inseparable from Roth’s historical consciousness that history encompasses not only the sequence of completed events, but also the hypothetical historical events, whose haunting traces in the factual history constitute a sharp reminder that history might take a different turn. This paper factors in Roth’s historical sensitivity and probes into Roth’s ironic representation and parody of radio broadcast text. It argues that through radio writing Roth not only holds the “harmless” historical discourse into question, but also expresses concerns over the dual nature of mass media as both a facilitator of the democracy and a catalyst of racism and xenophobia.

Published: January 2025

Objective: The purpose of this work was the biocontrol of Candida species from Jazan hospitals using non polyenic antifungal agent from actinomycetes.
Methods: Different isolates of Candida were collected, identified by Vitek 2, their characterized growth was recorded on chromoagar medium and their identification was confirmed using molecular method. Some isolated actinomycetes were tested for their biocontrol activity of Candida isolates.  
Results: Twenty-four isolates of Candida species obtained from Jazan hospital were identified and most of them were belong to Candida albican, Candida auris, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, and Candida ciferrii. Out of 39 actinomycete isolates, and using agar well diffusion method, the isolate NM3 which was morphologically, physiologically and molecually identified as Streptomyce plicatus NM3, inhibited many Candida isolates, specially C. parapsilosis, C. auris and C. tropicalis with inhibition zone diameter ranged from 19-21 mm. Excellent antifungal activities were recorded for the ethyl acetate extract and the presence of ergesterol in the cultivation medium decreased the antifungal activity.  The UV spectra of the isolate NM3 extract showed non-polyenic antifungal structure.
Conclusion: Streptomyce plicatus NM3 showed excellent activity against resistant Candida isolates and produce secondary products with non polyenic antifungal structure, thus it can be used for further studies.

This article presents findings from qualitative interviews (undertaken during 2019) with a small group (n = 5) of adult women survivors of sexual abuse from Argentina, France, Germany, Peru, and the Philippines. The women are all either nuns (n = 1) or former nuns (n = 4), who experienced abuse during their time in religious orders (n = 3), or when they were minors (n = 2). In advance of the interview, they were asked to read Tombs, Crucificação e abuso sexual (2019). The interview then explored their responses to the naming of Jesus as a victim of sexual abuse, with particular attention to (1) whether they had previously viewed their suffering in relation to Christ’s suffering; (2) whether the reading in the article was new to them, and whether they found it persuasive; (3) what it might mean for them as survivors; and (4) what importance they saw it as having for the wider church. Most participants felt that Jesus’ experience could have positive value for survivors, and they all believed it was important for the wider church. The innocence of Jesus was identified as an important counter to self-blame or victim-blaming by others. As one participant said, Seeing His innocence, I see innocence.
A guerra cultural e os delineamentos de uma dinâmica reacionária na conjuntura brasileira recente
Authors: Gabatz Celso
Published: January 2025

Esta análise busca desvelar questões presentes na conjuntura brasileira, na perspectiva das tensões decorrentes de uma guerra cultural e suas implicações no âmbito das sociabilidades. Por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental a partir do levantamento de referências teóricas já publicadas, o artigo traz à tona as críticas feitas ao “marxismo cultural” em suas ligações com a governança brasileira. A despeito de uma noção epistemológica bastante simplória acerca da decadência moral da sociedade, a retórica alarmista adquire êxito ao amalgamar uma coesão social estratégica. Os resultados apontam que as questões sublinhadas na abordagem conseguem amplificar elementos que evocam performances em favor de uma ordem moralista.

Environmental sanitation issues in Jambi Province include: the population with access to proper sanitation facilities in 2019 only reached 88.56% of the population in the Jambi Province area, sanitation of public places that meet health requirements only reached 63.11%, and food processing places that meet health requirements are still below 70% of the achievement. Therefore, cross-sector efforts are needed to improve environmental sanitation, but it is also necessary to pay attention to hygiene behavior which is also closely related to sanitation against the occurrence of a disease. The results of the implementation of community service activities in the FKIK Unja campus environment targeting facility care officers are increasing after knowledge about good hygiene and sanitation after socialization. Efforts to form hygienic behavior in the FKIK campus environment have been carried out by empowering officers through the provision of liquid soap for washing hands (CTPS), installing CTPS promotional stickers, and sorting to processing waste. Waste sorting activities have also been carried out by officers using trash bags that have been provided according to the type of waste including organic and inorganic, B3, and waste with economic value.

Published: January 2025

The low contribution of the mining sector to state income has encouraged the Indonesian government to optimize profits. Mining regulatory governance reform must be implemented. Government Regulation No. 1 of 2017 is a step to strengthen the role of the government, the legislative body which has the authority to manage and regulate natural resources. However, PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) opposes the implementation of this policy. Consequently, this research aims to explore and analyze the enforcement of Indonesian government regulations in the mining sector. This research uses a qualitative approach and case study method. The data selection is prepared in a structured, systematic and structured manner. The results contain several vital pieces of information. PTFI’s non-compliance reached a breaking point, such as a ban on export permits to provide a deterrent effect. Following these sanctions against mining companies, the government began the negotiation process. These strategies manifest the Indonesian government’s seriousness, resulting in PTFI’s agreement with regulations. Government efforts to combine punishment and persuasion in regulatory enforcement practices are discussed in this research. The paper provides scholarly discussions, guiding authoritarians to achieve stakeholder compliance with their laws and policies.

This study aims to analyze: (1) whether there is a relationship between active teaching methods and student engagement, (2) whether the success of curriculum implementation is related to student engagement, and (3) whether active teaching methods and the success of curriculum implementation together have a significant relationship with student engagement. This research employs a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The study sample consists of 100 students from the PBA postgraduate program at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang in the 2023-2024 academic year, selected using a saturated sampling technique. The research instrument is a closed-ended questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson Product Moment tests for the first and second hypotheses and multiple correlation tests for the third hypothesis. The analysis results indicate: (1) there is a moderately strong relationship between active teaching methods and student engagement with a correlation value of 0.364, (2) there is a moderately strong relationship between the success of implementation and student engagement, with a correlation value of 0.573, and (3) there is a strong relationship between active teaching methods and the success of implementation jointly with student engagement, with a correlation value of 0.599. By demonstrating the relationship between active teaching methods and the successful implementation of the Arabic language curriculum, the findings of this study can serve as a foundation for designing educational policies that promote the adoption of interactive teaching methods across various educational levels.

The study emphasizes the importance of utilizing fly ash and optimized aggregate sizes to enhance structural performance while promoting sustainable construction practices by reducing cement usage. In this research study, the combined effect of fly ash and aggregate size on the flexural strength of reinforced concrete is investigated. In this experimental study, a total of 12 batches were prepared with varying fly ash proportions and coarse aggregate sizes. For all batches, cement was replaced with fly ash by 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% by weight of cement, and three different sizes of coarse aggregates (6.25 mm, 12 mm, and 20 mm) were used. The mix design and water cement ratios were set to (1:2:4) and 0.48, respectively. Prism-type RCC beams of size 100mm x 100mm x 500mm were casted for testing to evaluate density, ultimate load, and ultimate strength. Results revealed that reinforced concrete batch B2, containing 5% fly ash and 12.5 mm aggregate size, achieved a higher density and sustained an ultimate load 56.48% higher than nominal concrete. Furthermore, deflection in reinforced concrete batch D1 containing 15% fly ash and 20-mm aggregate size decreased by 12.13% compared to nominal concrete. The results showed that the combined effect of fly ash and aggregate size will minimize deflection and will provide sufficient flexural strength to sustain structural load effectively.

Published: January 2025

Grading and classifying fruits are critical due to automated machine learning systems. In computer vision, different fruits have large complexity and similarity to identify the fruit types. In this study, we developed an efficient and reliable fruit grading system. It is very difficult to classify fruits from images with established conventional approaches. We used a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) methodology involving comparing a custom-built CNN and the VGG pre-trained models. In the research results, the VGG model accuracy is of 99.98 percent. This research proved the effectiveness of the deep model in the challenges of fruit classification and set a foundation for its application in automated grading systems.

Published: January 2025

The industrial manipulator uses complex control systems and requires specialist equipment for object detection and sorting. These are expensive and complicated. Installing and maintaining these manipulators require professional personnel and equipment. The manipulator design in this project is fully modular, easier to automate, and inexpensive, which is designed to enable industrial automation in developing countries. Using Topology in conjunction with Fusion 360 and ANSYS material consumption is reduced by up to 30% while keeping the material strength and stress constant. 3D printing parts help in reducing manufacturing complexity, time, and material consumption by reducing the overall manufacturing cost. With a Workspace of two feet and an operating temperature range from 10-60 °C, it is designed to deliver 3 DOF. To prevent the system from overheating, an effective cooling system for the controller and driver, is also developed using CFD analysis. The manipulator is linked with several sensors and a camera, to provide full autonomous control. As a result, it can be utilized in various industrial applications for precise and quick output. In this project, a manipulator is designed to sort objects as they come off the conveyor and pick and place them at the design location. A conveyor is intended for item movement, both manipulator and conveyor are controlled by a microcontroller and a PC via Computer vision.  Initially sorting of objects is performed through both color sensors. Then, using computer vision, an algorithm is trained to identify any defective item among the bunch using a camera and place it at the designated location. This computer vision algorithm can detect an object at a range of 3 feet and provides proper control with an accuracy of 90-95%, depending on the amount of information about the object collected and analyzed. This algorithm is also adaptable, as it can identify any object once it has been trained.
