Authors: Lanjarsih Laela ,   Perbanas Institute, Jakarta, Indonesia
Published: July 2024

The objective of this research is to examine the impact of ROA, company size, and leverage on REM practices in Indonesia's manufacturing business sector from 2017 to 2021. This research examines financial report data from companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange using a quantitative method with panel data analysis and multiple regression. According to the findings, the only variable that significantly affects REM is the leverage variable. However, there is no evidence that ROA or SIZE significantly affect REM. According to these results, REM practices are driven more by debt obligation pressure than by financial performance indicators or firm size within the earnings management environment. This research adds to the existing body of knowledge on earnings management strategies within the setting of Indonesian manufacturing organizations and deepens our understanding of the factors that impact REM. The research findings highlight the importance of financial strategy planning and earnings management in considering the impact of leverage. It also highlights that REM decisions are influenced by more complicated internal and external factors than just firm size and ROA.

Published: July 2024

O Carcinoma Papilífero da Tireoide (CPT) é o câncer mais comum da tireoide, representando cerca de 85% dos casos. Ele é encontrado principalmente em adultos, com taxas de prevalência de aproximadamente 5% em mulheres e 1% em homens, caracterizando-se por um crescimento lento e baixa agressividade. Este trabalho revisa o carcinoma papilífero de tireoide, abordando manifestações clínicas, diagnóstico, tratamento e prognóstico, fornecendo informações cruciais para profissionais de saúde que lidam com pacientes antes de encaminhá-los a especialistas. Para elaborar o trabalho, foram buscados artigos científicos no Pubmed utilizando critérios específicos [(Câncer de Tireoide, Papilar) E (Brasil)], resultando em 21 artigos. Cinco foram selecionados após exclusão de resultados similares e temas não pertinentes ao escopo do trabalho. O carcinoma papilífero da tireoide, prevalente em mulheres, permite uma abordagem de tratamento individualizada, desde observação até intervenções invasivas, enquanto a ultrassonografia de alta resolução e a punção aspirativa são cruciais para o diagnóstico. A personalização do tratamento, especialmente com radioiodoterapia, e a cirurgia são fundamentais para equilibrar benefícios e efeitos colaterais. A vigilância contínua e a colaboração entre profissionais de saúde são fundamentais para melhores resultados, com o médico da atenção primária desempenhando papel crucial no diagnóstico precoce e acompanhamento pós-tratamento.
Análise da fila de espera e perfil dos receptores de transplante renal no Brasil
Authors: Dos Santos Gil Anna Carolina , Guimarães Salgado Manoela , Dos Santos Martins Emanuelle
Published: July 2024

O artigo retrata sobre o órgão mais almejado no âmbito de transplante, o rim. Apesar disso, é perceptível que há ineficiência do sistema de transplantes impactando a vida de milhares de brasileiros. Contudo, as altas exigências para ser um receptor adequado também contribuem para a lentidão da lista de espera. Essas consequências são irrefutáveis de como essa mazela pública se encaminhará e aumentará o número de pacientes carentes do órgão. Fornecer informações sobre os empecilhos provenientes do transplante renal devido á extensa fila de espera e o perfil dos receptores para obterem o órgão. Foram selecionadas informações da Associação Brasileira de Transplante de Órgãos, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, UpToDate e do Google Acadêmico para obter dados sobre o transplante renal. O SUS aprimorou a assistência médica e houve recorde de doadores em 2023. Porém, a fila de espera por transplante renal é significativa, com 42.111 pessoas aguardando, segundo dados do Sistema Nacional de Transplantes. Sob essa perspectiva, a doação de rim pode ser feita por vivos ou falecidos, seguindo regras legais no Brasil. Além de exames e avaliação psicológica antes da doação. Deve-se ressaltar que a fila de transplante renal está cada vez mais ampla, tendo em vista que a maioria da população atual não dispõe de uma qualidade de vida que proporcione um perfil adequado de doadores e receptores, os pré-requisitos são restritivos, o que não favorece o prognóstico dos pacientes renais, logo, é necessário estudar maneiras de agilizar o processo da fila e dos transplantes.

Authors: Jibril Huzefa , Syed Ahsan Ali  , Khanum Iffat , Muhammed Tariq
Published: July 2024

Fungi rarely cause infective endocarditis but when they do, they are often associated with poor outcomes. Candida tropicalis accounts for only 10% of Candida endocarditis cases. A case of a 30-year-old male with a history of intravenous drug abuse was reported to the emergency department in August, 2021 with the right-sided leg pain and fever for 3 days. A trans-thoracic echocardiogram showed vegetation on the aortic valve and a computed tomography angiogram showed complete non-opacification of the right-sided common iliac artery and the superficial femoral artery just distal to its branching of the right profunda femoris artery. An emergent right iliofemoral embolectomy was done. Candida tropicalis was isolated from tissue and blood cultures. The patient was successfully treated with aortic valve replacement and intravenous caspofungin. The other reported cases of Candida tropicalis were reviewed and findings were compared with those reported in patients with Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis endocarditis.

Published: July 2024

Objective: To determine how plasma fibrinogen levels impact the severity of microvascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes while focussing on the molecular mechanisms of fibrinogen’s role in such complications.
Method: The analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2022 to March 2023 at the Department of Medicine, Mardan Medical Complex and Teaching Hospital, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, and comprised adult patients of either gender who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and microvascular complications. Each patient was subjected to an evaluation of microvascular complications, including diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy, using validated diagnostic criteria and clinical examinations. Data was analysed using SPSS 26.
Results: Of the 174 patients 97(%) were males and 77(%) were females. Retinopathy was found in 57(32.7) patients with median age 53 years (interquartile range: 46-63 years). Nephropathy was found in 55(31.6%) subjects with median age 54 years (interquartile range: 50-61 years). Neuropathy was found in 62(35.6%) patients with median age 53 years (interquartile range: 48-58 years). Diabetic neuropathy was significantly associated with elevated plasma fibrinogen levels and various biomarkers, such as creatinine, urea, fasting blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin and estimated average glucose (p<0.05). Diabetic retinopathy was significantly linked with higher levels of fibrinogen, which manifested through symptoms, like floaters or dark spots, impaired colour vision, difficulty seeing at night, blurred or fluctuating vision and vision loss (p<0.05). Diabetic nephropathy and the progression of its severity was significantly associated with increased fibrinogen levels, as well as markers, like albuminuria, creatinine, urea, fasting blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin and estimated average glucose (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Elevated plasma fibrinogen levels in patients with type 2 diabetes significantly correlated with increased microvascular complications, underscoring the importance of monitoring and managing fibrinogen levels to mitigate diabetes-associated vascular pathologies.

Published: July 2024

Meningomyelocele is a common congenital condition and its reconstruction poses a challenge for surgeons. The dorsal intercostal artery (DICA) flap offers a one-stage tension-free closure with adequate results. This study, spanning from January 2019 to September 2022, analyses the outcome of nine DICA flaps for meningomyelocele reconstruction, where the average size of the DICA flap was 6.8 x 4.6 cm for an average defect of 6.33 x 4 cm. Notably, no post-operative blood transfusion was required, nor any complications occurred except for one patient’s septic  shock-related death. Two had post-operative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, repaired primarily with one requiring VP shunt. Based on our experience, the DICA flap, with its consistent anatomy, is a reliable option for the reconstruction of meningomyelocele defects.

Kajian Tekno “Waste to Electric” dengan Bahan Baku Pelet Woodchip Memalalui Gasifikasi Multi Stage pada Mesin Diesel Dual Fuel
Authors: Hasanuddin  , Bambang Sudarmanta
Published: July 2024

Global warming and climate change have significant impacts on various sectors, including water scarcity, climate changes, social vulnerabilities, ecological damage, infrastructure damage, economic damage, health risks, air quality issues, biodiversity loss, and air quality. As of the end of 2023, Indonesia has power plants with a total capacity of 83.8 GW, comprising 79.8 GW of on-grid plants and 3.95 GW of off-grid plants. This figure indicates an increase in power plants of nearly 1.7 times over the past 10 years. Power generation is still dominated by coal, which constitutes up to half of the total national capacity, followed by gas energy at about 25%. Meanwhile, renewable energy-based power plants make up only 15%, having increased by just around 6 GW in the last 10 years. The utilization of renewable energy in power generation is dominated by hydro power (58%), geothermal (20%), and biomass (18%). In line with the government’s plan to decarbonize and achieve the Net Zero Emissions target by 2060, the 2021-2030 RUPTL (Long-Term Electricity Supply Plan) is designed to be the greenest RUPTL, with the Environmental Friendly Power Generation Plan or New Renewable Energy (EBT) reaching 52% of the total additional power plant capacity. One source of EBT power generation is biomass, derived from wood waste or the use of HTI (Industrial Timber Estate) wood processed into syngas through a gasification process for further conversion into environmentally friendly energy. Gasification is the process of converting woodchips as the raw material in a three-stage gasification process to produce syngas as fuel for diesel engines. During the gasification process, variations in the air ratio will be managed in the pyrolysis, oxidation, and reduction zones with air ratio settings of 0:10:0, 1:8:1, 2:7:1, and 1:7:2. The syngas produced from this process will be used as fuel for diesel engines with a dual fuel system. The characterization of the performance of the dual fuel diesel engine will be conducted by testing the engine at 5000 rpm with load variations from 500 watts to 5000 watts in 500-watt increments and varying the syngas mass flow rate by adjusting the syngas valve opening to the diesel engine. The objective of this research is to determine that gasification of woodchips into syngas can be a promising potential source of renewable, environmentally friendly electrical energy and an alternative to support government programs through the decarbonization of diesel engines.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Project Based Learning (PjBL) in enhancing storytelling skills among early childhood students at TK Cahaya Mentari Langkapura, Bandar Lampung. PjBL, an instructional method centered around projects, aims to guide students in solving complex problems through real-life experiences and active exploration. The study involved pretest and posttest phases to assess the development of children's storytelling abilities before and after implementing PjBL. The results indicate that PjBL significantly improved storytelling interest and confidence, with 73% of children showing increased interest and bravery, 87% starting to present in front of the class, and 53% doing so effectively after PjBL. Additionally, 60% of children understood the importance of proper intonation, and 80% could correctly construct simple sentences. Statistical analysis with a p-value of .000 confirms that the observed improvements were not due to chance. These findings underscore that PjBL is effective in developing storytelling skills, creativity, and collaboration in early childhood education.

Published: July 2024

Este artigo discute a utilização de dois protocolos de análise vocal, o VPAS (Vocal Profile Analysis Scheme) e o VPAS Simplificado, na comparação de falantes, especialmente em contextos forenses. No Brasil, peritos criminais em fonética forense são instruídos a utilizar o método combinado de análises perceptiva e acústica. O estudo foca na aplicabilidade do roteiro VPAS para identificação de falantes, baseado no Modelo Fonético de Descrição da Qualidade Vocal, bem como na comparação desse método com uma versão simplificada. O estudo usou amostras de fala de 10 indivíduos e aplicou ajustes fonatórios nos dois roteiros. Os resultados revelaram desafios na simplificação do VPAS, pois a redução dos ajustes e a ausência de graduação dificultaram a distinção entre características vocais distintas. Além disso, algumas simplificações ignoraram ajustes comuns na prática clínica. Os autores concluem que o VPAS simplificado pode comprometer a precisão na identificação de falantes, já que a falta de detalhamento e graduação limita a distinção entre diferentes características vocais. Eles destacam a importância de considerar a diversidade e complexidade da qualidade vocal ao simplificar os protocolos de análise para aplicação forense.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence on supply chain efficiency in Turkey.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings:  Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly enhanced supply chain efficiency in Turkey. AI applications such as predictive analytics, demand forecasting, and optimization algorithms have streamlined operations, reduced costs, and improved decision-making. Automation of repetitive tasks through AI has increased productivity and accuracy in inventory management and logistics.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Resource-based view (RBV) theory, dynamic capabilities theory & technology acceptance model (TAM) may be used to anchor future studies on the impact of artificial intelligence on supply chain efficiency in Turkey. Invest in continuous training and development programs for supply chain professionals to effectively utilize AI tools. Develop industry standards and regulatory frameworks for the ethical use of AI in supply chains. These policies should address data privacy, security, and the responsible use of AI technologies to protect stakeholders.

Appropriate addition of vegetable oil can improve the flavour, increase the nutritional composition, and modify the quality of surimi seafood products. In the present work, the effects of different levels (0 to 2%) of red palm oil (RPO) and extra virgin coconut oil (EVCO) on the properties of threadfin bream surimi were studied. Significant changes were observed in the contents of moisture and fat when the oils were incorporated (p < 0.05), while no differences in the contents of ash and protein were observed (p > 0.05). The incorporation of RPO significantly decreased whiteness as the oil level increased, and ranged from 54.44 to 57.59 from 65.20 in Control (p < 0.05). No significant change in whiteness among samples with EVCO was observed (p > 0.05), regardless of the levels. The pH and cooking yield of the samples increased, whereas water-holding capacity (WHC) decreased (p < 0.05). As the oil levels increased, the gel strength continuously decreased (p < 0.05), in which the highest decrease of 41% was observed in sample containing 2% RPO, compared to Control. Based on texture profile analysis (TPA), hardness displayed a significant increase with increasing oil levels, and ranged from 14 to 28 N (p < 0.05). Chewiness, springiness, and cohesiveness increased as incorporated oils increased (p < 0.05). Microstructure study revealed that the oil droplets were uniformly distributed on the gel surface. Higher storage modulus (G') of the samples was observed when the oils were incorporated, compared to Control. Nevertheless, there was no marked difference in the modulus among samples incorporated with the oils at the same level. The present work demonstrated that RPO and EVCO incorporation directly affected threadfin bream surimi's physicochemical and gelation properties.

Detecting long-term changes to Odonata assemblages requires repeated sampling at fixed locations over decadal periods. However, few such biomonitoring efforts exist for Odonata, especially at low taxonomic resolution and immature life stages. We repeated a survey of Odonata nymphs conducted nearly thirty years ago in ten streams from a northern Pennsylvania forest reserve to qualitatively explore assemblage-scale changes and identify streams supporting species of conservation concern. Our survey collected five more species among all sites than the original survey, reflecting a 15% increase in richness despite a reduced sampling effort. Rank abundances of many species changed substantially between surveys. Some, such as Calopteryx maculata, fell in rank while other species like Boyeria vinosa and Phanogomphus lividus that were rare in 1994 became the most numerically dominant. We did not detect patterns in species richness or changes in richness between surveys along gradients of unconventional natural gas extraction or timber harvest among streams. The fraction of species deemed vulnerable or imperiled within Pennsylvania grew from 22 to 38% between surveys, highlighting the regional conservation value of protected area we sampled. Our sampling methodology precludes population estimates or quantitative community comparisons due to the sampling design and inconsistencies in the literature used for identification between surveys. However, the substantial differences in rank-abundance among species between surveys suggests potential long-term changes in these lotic Odonata assemblages. The collective findings presented here emphasize the high value of data from repeated surveys with species-level taxonomic resolution.
El archivo del escritor deudor. Permanente obra negra (2019) de Vivian Abenshushan
Authors: Sosa Cristina Patricia
Published: July 2024

En Permanente obra negra (2019), Vivian Abenshushan construye un dispositivo entrópico que se erige como una resistencia no solo a la forma tradicional del libro, sino a las convenciones sobre su circulación y lectura. Constituye una práctica en torno al archivo que le permite denunciar la precarización del trabajo intelectual en un sistema capitalista de explotación al tiempo que alienta prácticas escriturarias comunalistas y desapropiativas. El fichero-archivo da cuenta de las tensiones en torno a las nociones de autoría, de novela y de originalidad en las producciones del presente a través del recurso de la cita, la reescritura, el plagio y el montaje.
