An Alternative Approach for Treating Female Underactive Bladders with Chronic Urine Retention: A Pilot Study on Combined Transvaginal Ultrasound-Guided Botulinum Toxin A External Sphincter Injection and Transurethral Incision of the Bladder Neck
Authors: Huang Wei-Chun , Tsai Cheng-Yen , Chou Eric Chieh-Lung
Published: October 2024

Background: Treating an underactive bladder (UAB) is challenging. Previously, we introduced a more precise method of transvaginal ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection into the external urethral sphincter as a treatment option for patients with UABs. Although many patients experience good results, those with an UAB and excessive residual urine still require catheterization. Therefore, we developed a new method that combines transvaginal ultrasound-guided BoNT-A injection with a transurethral bladder neck incision. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 16 patients who experienced symptoms of UAB and chronic urine retention. The treatment consisted of a combination of transvaginal ultrasound-guided BoNT-A injection and a transurethral incision of the bladder neck (TUI-BN). The primary objective was to assess the efficacy of this combined treatment in improving symptoms in women with UABs. Results: Our study demonstrated significant improvements after treatment, including increased voiding volume, decreased post-void residual (PVR) urine, and improved voiding efficiency. The frequency of clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) decreased at 1 and 3 months post-surgery, along with improvements in the AUA symptoms score and the Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC) score. Conclusions: Our study showed significant improvements in the surgical treatment of UABs using a combination of transvaginal ultrasound-guided BoNT-A and TUI-BN.

This study examines a case involving a 7-year-old child who developed dengue symptoms following Qdenga vaccination. Despite initial negative diagnostic results, molecular analysis confirmed an infection with DENV4. Next-generation sequencing detected viral RNA from both DENV2 and DENV4 serotypes, which were identified as vaccine-derived strains using specific primers. Phylogenetic analysis further confirmed that these sequences belonged to the Qdenga vaccine rather than circulating wild-type viruses. This case underscores the critical need for precise diagnostic interpretation in vaccinated individuals to avoid misdiagnosis and to strengthen public health surveillance. A comprehensive understanding of vaccine-induced viremia is essential for refining dengue surveillance, improving diagnostic accuracy, and informing public health strategies in endemic regions.

Authors: Li Yan-Han , Lin Yu-Tzu , Chuang Shu-Han , Yang Hui-Ju
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the rapid development of vaccines, including the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 (AstraZeneca) vaccine. While effective, adverse effects have been reported, including cutaneous manifestations. Kaposi sarcoma (KS), a vascular tumor linked to Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus/human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), has seen increased detection during the pandemic. This study reports a case of classic cutaneous KS in a 79-year-old male following the first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine, without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. The patient developed multiple reddish-blue papules on his legs and feet, confirmed as KS through histopathology. Treatment included radiotherapy and sequential chemotherapy with Doxorubicin. The potential reactivation of latent HHV-8 by the vaccine is explored through mechanisms involving the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and adenovirus vector, which may induce immune responses and inflammatory pathways. Although establishing a direct causal link remains challenging, the case highlights the need for vigilance regarding KS reactivation post-vaccination. Further large-scale studies are warranted to elucidate the relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and latent virus reactivation, ensuring comprehensive safety assessments and informed public health decisions.

Published: October 2024

Ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) pose potential health threats to small-scale farmers of grazing animals in the upper highlands of Balochistan, Pakistan. This study was conducted based on a questionnaire survey involving 153 farmers of grazing animals in seven districts to access their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding ticks and TBDs. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals, based on Fisher’s test, were used to assess risk factors for determining preventive measures. The findings revealed a low level of knowledge among the participants. For instance, there was a lack of awareness of the effects of climate change and the economic impact of ticks on animal health. The essential precautions, such as the non-indiscriminate use of acaricides, wearing dark-colored clothing, and limiting children’s interaction with grazing animals, were often overlooked. However, the farmers had a positive attitude towards tick control, but they mostly relied on the knowledge of local communities. The neglect of such measures places these farmers and their children at risk of contracting TBDs. This study also indicates minimal involvement from the government in educating farmers and controlling ticks. The role of stakeholders, including the government, non-governmental organizations, veterinary doctors, and local farmer communities, is crucial to address these issues and to implement effective training programs that address misconceptions about ticks and TBDs. Overall, this study highlights the importance of implementing awareness and education programs to address the misconceptions about ticks and TBDs among farmers.

Published: October 2024

Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, even when diagnosed at an early stage in humans and dogs. Dogs have a significant incidence of spontaneous prostate cancer, which is highly similar to human androgen-independent prostate cancer and represents a valuable model for comparative studies. Cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the two main cannabinoids extracted from Cannabis sativa and have demonstrated antiproliferative and anti-invasive properties in different tumor types. In this study, CBD or THC-rich extracts inhibited the proliferation of two canine prostatic carcinoma cell lines, PC1 and PC2, showing an IC50 of 3.43 and 3.57 μM for CBD rich extracts, and 4.90 and 4.48 μM THC rich extracts, respectively. Cell death was also observed with both Annexin V and Propidium iodide staining for the canine cell lines. These results provide new information concerning the use of rich oil in canine PC and open a promising opportunity for further in vitro and in vivo studies to establish the mechanisms of action of these compounds using dogs as a natural model for prostatic carcinoma.

Published: October 2024

Camels, vital to economies in Asia, Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula, have been domesticated for over 4000 years. They thrive in arid regions like Xinjiang, China, but face challenges from internal and external parasites, particularly gastrointestinal parasites, which impact health, meat and milk quality, and production efficiency. This study investigates the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth infections in camels from five major regions in Xinjiang. We collected 435 fresh fecal samples and used the saturated saline flotation method and McMaster’s method for detection. Molecular examination followed. The overall prevalence was 18.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 14.7–22.2%), with Urumqi showing the highest prevalence (29%, 95% CI: 23.4–35.1%) compared to other regions (odds ratio [OR]: 4.62, 95% CI: 2.63–8.41%). Younger camels (≤3 years old) were more likely infected by the parasites after adjusting for the region differences (OR: 10.53, 5.12–24.65%). However, we found no evidence that the prevalence was different between male and female camels. PCR analysis identified Trichostrongylus spp., Chabertia ovina, and Haemonchus contortus as predominant parasites, with observed co-infections indicating a complex parasitic landscape. The findings provide essential epidemiological data for effective parasite control strategies.

Sarcocystis species are intracellular coccidian protozoans that can infect a range of animals and humans and cause public health problems and economically significant losses. Sarcocystosis in sheep (Ovis aries) can cause abortion, neurological symptoms, and even death and results in significant economic losses to the livestock industry. To date, however, it is yet unknown whether sheep in Shanxi Province, north China, are infected with Sarcocystis spp. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Sarcocystis spp. in sheep in Shanxi Province. Thus, 582 muscle samples of sheep were purchased from farmers’ markets from ten representative counties in Shanxi Province, north China, and examined for the presence and prevalence of Sarcocystis spp. by PCR amplification of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) gene. Of the examined 582 mutton samples, 197 samples (33.85%) were Sarcocystis-positive and were sequenced. Of the obtained 197 cox1 sequences, 196 sequences showed nucleotide similarity of 98.56–99.81% with those of S. tenella, and the remaining one cox1 sequence showed nucleotide similarity of 99.71% with that of S. arieticanis. Two representative cox1 sequences of S. tenella (accession nos. PQ189447 and PQ189448) have 99.52% and 99.61% identity with S. tenalla (KC209725) and S. tenalla (MK419984), respectively. The sequence of S. arieticanis (accession no. PQ165949) obtained in this study has 99.71% identity with S. arieticanis (MK419975). This present study documents the occurrence and prevalence of Sarcocystis spp. in sheep in Shanxi Province for the first time, which enriches the data on the distribution of Sarcocystis spp. in sheep in China and has implications for the control of sheep sarcocystosis.

Published: October 2024

Revealing the spatiotemporal variation in baseflow and its underlying mechanisms is critical for preserving the health and ecological functions of alpine rivers, but this has rarely been conducted in the source region of the Yangtze River (SRYR). Our study employed the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model coupled with two-parameter digital filtering and geostatistical approaches to obtain a visual representation of the spatiotemporal heterogeneity characteristics of the baseflow and baseflow index (BFI) in the SRYR. The SWAT model and multiple linear regression model (MLR) were used to quantitatively estimate the contribution of climate change and human activities to baseflow and BFI changes. The results underscore the robust applicability of the SWAT model within the SRYR. Temporally, the precipitation, temperature, and baseflow exhibited significant upward trends, and the baseflow and BFI showed contrasting intra-annual distribution patterns, which were unimodal and bimodal distribution, respectively. Spatially, the baseflow increased from northwest to southeast, and from the watershed perspective, the Tongtian River exhibited higher baseflow values compared to other regions of the SRYR. The baseflow and BFI values of the Dangqu River were greater than those of other tributaries. More than 50% of the entire basin had an annual BFI value greater than 0.7, which indicates that baseflow was the major contributor to runoff generation. Moreover, the contributions of climate change and human activities to baseflow variability were 122% and −22%, and to BFI variability, 60% and 40%. Specifically, precipitation contributed 116% and 60% to the baseflow and BFI variations, while the temperature exhibited contributions of 6% and 8%, respectively. Overall, it was concluded that the spatiotemporal distributions of baseflow and the BFI are controlled by various factors, and climate change is the main factor of baseflow variation. Our study offers valuable insights for the management and quantitative assessment of groundwater resources within the SRYR amidst climate change.

The KLD segment of the Kenweiyuan section in Wenchang, Hainan, China is a set of aeolian sand deposits of the Last Deglaciation. The chemical element and heavy mineral analysis performed in this study reveals the chemical index of alteration (CIA) in the segment to be as high as 93–95, with all the heavy minerals identified as stable and extremely stable making up 38–45% of the total. Furthermore, the zircon, tourmaline, and rutile content (ZTR index) of the segment is determined to range between 48–71. The (Al2O3 + TOFE)/SiO2 ratios display obvious fluctuations from old to new strata in the segment, with the low values corresponding to Heinrich event (H1), Dansgaard-Oeschager (D-O), and Younger Dryas (YD) and the high values corresponding to Bølling and Allerød. Our study suggests that these fluctuations are attributed to the alternation of the East Asian winter and summer monsoons. Hainan Island is also impacted by the surface ocean climate of the South China Sea, and characteristics of the KLD segment may be connected to the climate changes in the North Atlantic related to the winter monsoon season or westerlies. Furthermore, the segment presents a clear response to millennium-scale climate changes during the Last Deglaciation on Hainan Island. Based on the high CIA values in the KLD segment, and particularly due to the observed stable detrital minerals, the ratios can be linked to the overall tropical climate, indicating a relatively warm tropical climate environment in the Last Deglaciation in Hainan. The high CIA values also reveal the cause of aeolian sand formation under the tropical environmental conditions in the low latitude region of China in the Late Quaternary.

Published: October 2024

Identifying the green efficiency of water resources and its driving factors is paramount for promoting sustainable development in China. The existing research has primarily focused on the spatial heterogeneity of individual factors that impact green efficiency of water resources. However, it has often overlooked the heterogeneity in the interactions between these factors. In this study, we utilized a multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) model to discern the spatial heterogeneity of the individual factors influencing the green efficiency of water resources in China between 2002 and 2016. Subsequently, we demarcated several subregions based on the coefficients derived from the MGWR model. Employing a geographical detector (GD), we quantified the interactive impacts of different factors within these subregions. Our findings unveiled, for the first time, the diverse patterns in the temporal and spatial fluctuations in the factors impacting the eco-friendliness of water resources. The findings underscored that disregarding the spatial heterogeneity of these interactive effects may result in an underestimation of the interactions among factors. Significantly, in 2016, the impact of tertiary industry proportion and completed investment in pollution treatment displayed an enhanced non-linear effect across the entire sample and concurrently demonstrated a bivariate enhanced effect within subregions. These discoveries contribute to a deeper comprehension of the mechanisms influencing these factors, providing valuable insights for policymakers in crafting region-specific water resource policies tailored to the unique developmental requirements of different areas.

Published: October 2024

Pipeline leakage, which leads to water wastage, financial losses, and contamination, is a significant challenge in urban water supply networks. Leak detection and prediction is urgent to secure the safety of the water supply system. Relaying on deep learning artificial neural networks and a specific optimization algorithm, an intelligential detection approach in identifying the pipeline leaks is proposed. A hydraulic model is initially constructed on the simplified Net2 benchmark pipe network. The District Metering Area (DMA) algorithm and the Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm are integrated as the DMA-CS algorithm, which is employed for the hydraulic model optimization. Attributing to the suspected leak area identification and the exact leak location, the DMA-CS algorithm possess higher accuracy for pipeline leakage (97.43%) than that of the DMA algorithm (92.67%). The identification pattern of leakage nodes is correlated to the maximum number of leakage points set with the participation of the DMA-CS algorithm, which provide a more accurate pathway for identifying and predicting the specific pipeline leaks.
Development of a Storm-Tracking Algorithm for the Analysis of Radar Rainfall Patterns in Athens, Greece
Authors: Bournas Apollon , Baltas Evangelos
Published: October 2024

This research work focuses on the development and application of a storm-tracking algorithm for identifying and tracking storm cells. The algorithm first identifies storm cells on the basis of reflectivity thresholds and then matches the cells in the tracking procedure on the basis of their geometrical characteristics and the distance within the weather radar image. A sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the preferable thresholds for each case and test the algorithm’s ability to perform in different time step resolutions. Following this, we applied the algorithm to 54 rainfall events recorded by the National Technical University X-Band weather radar, the rainscanner system, from 2018 to 2023 in the Attica region of Greece. Testing of the algorithm demonstrated its efficiency in tracking storm cells over various time intervals and reflecting changes such as merging or dissipation. The results reveal the predominant southwest-to-east storm directions in 40% of cases examined, followed by northwest-to-east and south-to-north patterns. Additionally, stratiform storms showed slower north-to-west trajectories, while convective storms exhibited faster west-to-east movement. These findings provide valuable insights into storm behavior in Athens and highlight the algorithm’s potential for integration into nowcasting systems, particularly for flood early warning systems.

Published: October 2024

To address the complexity and high computational burden in the design of drip irrigation networks, the Jaya algorithm is utilized to study factors affecting project costs, including equipment and pipeline depreciation and the operation and management costs of the irrigation area. A mathematical model of synchronization optimal design of pipe layout and pipe diameter selection in a drip irrigation network system with constraints on pipe diameter, flow velocity, and pipe pressure is established. Using an irrigation district in Xinjiang, China, as an example, the Jaya algorithm optimization design program was run independently 50 times, and the relative deviation of each optimization result from the optimal solution was calculated. The results show that the annual cost per unit area o is reduced to 635.99 RMB/hm2, a 25.34% reduction compared to the original engineering program, and the investment-saving effect is obvious. The relative deviation is controlled within 3%, which shows that the algorithm has stable convergence performance and can meet the requirements of actual engineering design. The Jaya algorithm eliminates the need for parameter tuning, and it excels in cost savings, algorithm stability, and computational accuracy, making it an effective method for the single-objective optimization design of drip irrigation networks.

A 45-day trial was carried out to assess the production performance of different hydroponic media in a novel do-it-yourself (DIY) low-tech re-circulating aquaponic system for temperate regions with rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Rainbow trout juveniles (average weight of 35.59 g) were stocked in the experimental units at 2.8 kg.m-3 and fed with commercial floating pelleted feed at 8 % of their body weight in three treatments and a control. The lettuce saplings were randomly planted in the river stone bed (T1), crushed stone bed (T2), raft/deep water culture (DWC) unit (T3) and control (C) soil bed (fortified with NPK fertiliser) with equivalent planting intervals of 42 saplings.m-2. The system, designed with low-tech simplicity, was managed without alkalinity correction and depended entirely on plant growth and metabolism for biofiltration. The water quality parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), dissolved free CO2, hardness, total alkalinity, ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate varied significantly (P < 0.05) among the treatments compared to the control. The final individual weight, biomass gain, specific growth rate (SGR), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of rainbow trout were significantly better (P < 0.05) in media beds (crushed stone and river stone) compared to control and DWC systems. The final mean weights of rainbow trout in river stone (12.33 ± 0.002 g and crushed stone (12.39 ± 0.054 g) treatments were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than in DWC (12.1 ± 0.023 g) and control (12.09 ± 0.002 g) treatments. The production of lettuce was significantly greater (P < 0.05) in all three treatments (river stone: 4.33 ± 0.123 g, crushed stone: 4.53 ± 0.09 g and DWC: 4.31 ± 0.163 g) compared to the control (3.31 ± 0.172 g). The DWC including the media bed systems facilitates the improved performance of lettuce saplings in terms of final height and leaf number. These results show that a low-tech media bed system without a supplementary biofiltration unit can achieve sustainable production of both fish and vegetables in temperate hilly terrains.

Uno de los parámetros más importantes en la caracterización del agua residual son los Sólidos Suspendidos (SS), es por ello que el presente trabajo tiene como finalidad la determinación de sólidos a partir de técnicas alternativas, como es el impacto acústico, para determinar la frecuencia de resonancia dominante en el espectro de Fourier de la muestra de agua correspondiente. La respuesta acústica fue medida usando una interfaz PASCO750 y a una razón de muestreo de 20 kHz. Posteriormente se aproximó el comportamiento de las ondas acústicas con un modelo de ajuste y se asoció a una función de probabilidad condicionada, la cual se validó a partir de simulaciones mediante el método de Monte Carlo para predecir la confiabilidad de la técnica de aproximación.
Comparación sedimentológica de tres sitios en la llanura costera chiapaneca

La región costera chiapaneca es un sitio con elevada biodiversidad cuya importancia humana y medioambiental es innegable. Históricamente, ha albergado asentamientos humanos muy importantes, pero también ha reflejado en sus depósitos sedimentarios todas las alteraciones asociadas a ellos, desde la contaminación local hasta el calentamiento climático regional y global. En esta región, en los municipios de Pijijiapan y Tuxtla Chico, se obtuvieron tres núcleos sedimentarios con longitudes menores a 1 m (45cm<95cm) usando un muestreador tipo Livingston, los cuales fueron analizados microscópicamente para determinar los componentes principales presentes en sus sedimentos. En Pijijiapan se obtuvieron los registros sedimentarios de los sitios San Isidro y Chocohuital; en el Chocohuital los sedimentos analizados sugieren un ambiente de transporte y depósito de alta energía, con aporte principalmente costero. En San Isidro el registro analizado sugiere una sedimentación condicionada por el transporte y depósito de material durante eventos catastróficos de inundación y desbordamiento de los ríos que descienden desde la Sierra Madre de Chiapas. Por otro lado, en Tuxtla Chico se obtuvo un registro sedimentario en el campo experimental Rosario Izapa, del Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales (INIFAP); en este, los sedimentos analizados también sugieren un ambiente de transporte y depósito de material relacionado con desbordamiento de ríos e inundaciones, pero a diferencia de San Isidro, aquí se registra además la influencia de la actividad volcánica reciente del Complejo Volcánico Tacaná, el cual ha aportado al registro el depósito de capas de cenizas bien delimitadas y depósitos de lahares. Las inundaciones sugeridas por los registros sedimentarios se pueden relacionar con la ocurrencia frecuente de huracanes y tormentas tropicales en esta zona del país. Adicionalmente, se observó la presencia de valvas de pequeños crustáceos conocidos como ostrácodos conservados únicamente en los sedimentos del sitio INIFAP, con características de ensamble y preservación que sugiere sufrieron un proceso de tanatocenosis de alta energía al momento de ser depositados. Este trabajo representa un primer acercamiento para determinar la dominancia de la sedimentación costera versus la sedimentación asociada a desbordamiento de ríos e inundaciones en el pasado en la zona costera Chiapaneca.

Nuestra propia encarnación terrenal, nuestra relación concreta y corporal con los demás y nuestra inserción en un entorno ecológico de seres vivos son los factores que podrían ayudarnos a replantear nuestra autoimagen como seres humanos en tiempos de transformación tecnológica acelerada.
“Para una crítica de la violencia” de Walter Benjamin
Authors: Ortega Esquivel Aureliano
Published: October 2024

En la actualidad, es común que la lectura e interpretación de algunos textos de Walter Benjamin se circunscriba a la canónica que para el efecto ha montado la filosofía académica. Muchos de sus lectores y comentadores se han centrado, sobre todo, en la discusión (profundamente anti-benjaminiana) de lo que verdaderamente dijo o quiso decir el pensador berlinés. Con ello se pierde lo esencial y se cancela lo que quizá importa, su asombrosa vigencia, su carácter profético respecto a lo que en la actualidad se afirma como “estado-de-derecho” y lo que nos enseña respecto a nuestro propio presente, en donde el evidente agotamiento y futura quiebra de la cultura política moderna nos enfrenta a viejas y nuevas formas de violencia política, cultural o delincuencial. Frente a este tipo de lectura, lo que intentaremos aquí será plantear una lectura política del ensayo “Para una crítica de la violencia”. Esta lectura consiste en el trazo de un prisma epistemo-crítico, relativamente complejo, que contiene tres momentos o desarrollos distintos pero complementarios: el “momento” Benjamin; el “momento” Alemania; y lo que resulta de su cruzamiento, esto es, la forma en la que Benjamin recupera e interpreta críticamente lo sucedido en Alemania entre 1918 y 1921.

Published: October 2024

El laboratorio escolar como recurso educativo promueve el aprendizaje de las ciencias, donde se analizan y reafirman conocimientos, que contribuyen en la formación integral al conjuntar saberes teóricos, heurísticos y axiológicos. La pandemia ocasionada por el coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, causante de la enfermedad COVID-19, inició a finales del año 2019, creando mucha incertidumbre y retos importantes. En los laboratorios escolares de bachillerato y licenciatura, se presentaron importantes desafíos debido a las características propias de estos y de los materiales y sustancias químicas que emplean. Por lo que fue importante encontrar estrategias que permitieran trabajar a distancia y en la virtualidad durante el periodo de confinamiento.
Perspectivas ambientales sobre el cultivo de aguacate en Michoacán: protección de la fauna y desarrollo sostenible
Authors: Sereno Hurtado Carlos Alexis
Published: October 2024

El presente trabajo, de corte teórico, basado en un enfoque cualitativo, aborda principalmente el impacto del cultivo de aguacate tanto en la población, el medio ambiente y la fauna afectada en la región. Por lo cual, se comenzará señalando que el cultivo de aguacate ha tenido un gran auge en cuanto a la producción en los últimos años, convirtiéndose en una de las principales actividades económicas de la región. De igual manera se destaca que dicho crecimiento ha tenido un costo importante en términos sociales y ambientales, ya que se considera que ha generado un proceso de desplazamiento de la fauna local, la cual ha sido expulsada de su hábitat para dar paso a las plantaciones de aguacate. De igual forma, se señalará que el uso intensivo de agroquímicos ha generado una serie de problemas ambientales, como la contaminación del agua y la pérdida de biodiversidad. Aunado a esto, el cultivo de aguacate ha contribuido a la deforestación de la región, lo que ha tenido un impacto negativo en el ecosistema de las regiones afectadas por el cultivo desmedido de dicho fruto. Finalmente, se propondrá una serie de medidas para mitigar el impacto del cultivo de aguacate en la región, proponiendo la implementación de políticas públicas que busquen promover un desarrollo económico sostenible, protegiendo la fauna local de acuerdo con la normativa federal y estatal analizada.

Es un día de júbilo, después de un año de obedecer las reglas y actividades que los padres dictaron a lo largo de todo este tiempo ha llegado el momento de ir hacia el árbol, buscar, husmear, indagar y encontrar los regalos tan esperados. El 25 de diciembre representa una fecha importante para muchas personas, pero en especial para los niños; Papa Noel, San Nicolás, Babbo Natale (en Italia) o Santa Claus logró viajar por miles de kilómetros desde tierras lejanas hasta tu casa, entro por la chimenea (a pesar de su peso), comió las galletas que dejaste y dejó en la base de tu árbol el premio tan ansiado durante mucho tiempo. ¿Cómo lo hizo?, ¿Tuvo ayuda de alguien? ¿Cómo es la planeación en trayectos tan largos en un corto tiempo? En el presente documento mostramos el funcionamiento del proceso logístico navideño ideado por Santa Claus, desde la concepción de la idea del regalo, hasta el momento en que el regalo se encuentra bajo el árbol de navidad.
The Impact of Ethic and Competence on Audit Quality (Accountability as Moderating Variable)
Authors: Saputra Robby , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: October 2024

Purpose: This study used accountability as a moderating variable to examine the impact of ethics and competence on audit quality.
Methodology: The data used in this study were derived from a questionnaire survey distributed to respondents from October to December 2023. The respondents for this study were Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK) head office auditors at State Financial Auditor III. The respondents were selected using purposive sampling criteria. The final sample comprised 69 respondents. This study used the structural equation Modelling (SEM) approach with Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) software to analyze the data.
Results: The findings show that ethics and competence positively affect audit quality. Accountability as a moderating variable strengthens the impact of ethics on audit quality. However, accountability does not influence the effect of competence on audit quality.
Limitations: This research used a method of distributing questionnaires to several respondents online so that the questions from respondents regarding the questionnaires could not be confirmed directly. In addition, this study uses only two audit attributes as determinants of audit quality.
Contribution: This research will provide an understanding of BPK stakeholders regarding the importance of ethics and competence for BPK auditors. Additionally, it is expected that they will not attempt to influence BPK auditors to commit ethical violations. Furthermore, this research is meritorious for BPK to investigate the factors that can encourage the accountability of auditors’ attitudes to improve audit quality.
