Cancer prediction using graph-based gene selection and explainable classifier
Authors: Rostami Mehrdad , Oussalah Mourad
Published: April 2022

Several Artificial Intelligence-based models have been developed for cancer prediction. In spite of the promise of artificial intelligence, there are very few models which bridge the gap between traditional human-centered prediction and the potential future of machine-centered cancer prediction. In this study, an efficient and effective model is developed for gene selection and cancer prediction. Moreover, this study proposes an artificial intelligence decision system to provide physicians with a simple and human-interpretable set of rules for cancer prediction. In contrast to previous deep learning-based cancer prediction models, which are difficult to explain to physicians due to their black-box nature, the proposed prediction model is based on a transparent and explainable decision forest model. The performance of the developed approach is compared to three state-of-the-art cancer prediction including TAGA, HPSO and LL. The reported results on five cancer datasets indicate that the developed model can improve the accuracy of cancer prediction and reduce the execution time.
Kyberturvallisuuden arvokonfliktit kotona selviytymistä tukevissa terveysteknologiossa: Suunnittelutieteellinen tutkimus kohti eettistä päätöksentekoa
Authors: Rajamäki Jyri
Published: April 2022

Terveydenhuollon ja terveyspalveluiden siirtyminen tietoverkkoihin nostaa esiin eettisiä haasteita. Etenkin kun digitaalisia ratkaisuja suunnitellaan ikääntyville kansalaisille, tulee ottaa huomioon heidän oikeutensa ja mahdollisuutensa elää hyvää elämää kotona tai kodinomaisessa ympäristössä. Etiikka ja eettinen osaaminen ovatkin tällöin keskeisessä roolissa suunnittelusta aina toteutukseen ja arviointiin saakka. Etiikkaa on tarkasteltava usealta eri näkökulmalta, mutta samalla valitettavan usein törmätään arvokonflikteihin eri eettisten arvojen ja normien välillä. Tämä suunnittelutieteellinen tutkimus tarkastelee digitaalisten terveyspalveluiden kyberturvallisuuteen liittyviä eettisiä asioita neljän eri viitekehyksen kautta: biolääketieteen etiikka, hoitoalan etiikka, terveydenhuollon informaatioteknologian ydintehtävät ja kyberturvallisuuden arvoklusterit. Tutkimus keskittyy eri näkökulmien välisiin arvokonflikteihin ja esittelee eettisen päätöksenteon avuksi käsitemallin eri viitekehysten samanaikaiseen huomioimiseen. Lisäksi artikkeli käsittelee eettistä päätöksentekoa sumean monikriteerisen päätöksenteon avulla sekä pohtii koneoppimisen ja homomorfisen salauksen avulla tuotettavan digitaalisen kaksosen hyödyntämistä tässä yhteydessä.

Authors: Keränen Niina , Tuovinen Timo , Haverinen Jari , Ruotanen Ronja , Reponen Jarmo
Published: April 2022

Health information exchange (HIE) is the mobilization of health care information electronically across organizations within a region, community, or hospital system. Nordic countries have been developing their health portals including national HIE services systematically. In Finland HIE begun with various regional health information exchange (RHIE) pilots in since 1998. The Kanta patient data repository component in the national HIE has been adopted in routine use since 2012. The current role of non-Kanta RHIE in relation to Kanta services is somewhat unclear. Our research questions are following: 1) Has the availability of RHIE services changed during 2017-2020? 2) What functional types of RHIE are there in Finland in 2020? 3) From the point of view of healthcare provider organizations, at what level is the availability to combine regional information seamlessly into the same view of local patient record systems?
Data used in this study were collected using web-based questionnaires in 2017 and 2020 as part of the surveys for monitoring and assessment of social welfare and health care information system services in Finland. This study reported in this article covers all 21 public hospital districts and nearly all public primary health care centers. The quantitative data provided by the organizations were analyzed using SPSS software (version 25). The availability of a particular service or function was calculated as a percentage of all respondents in each sector.
The results of this study show that the overall availability of RHIE services has not markedly changed 2017-2020. Functional types of RHIE meaning the role, use and types of RHIE in hospital districts in Finland varies greatly in 2020. We recognized three different types of non-Kanta RHIE in the non-combination organizations (one-way, symmetrical, full symmetrical). Seamless integration of at least some Kanta data into the same view as the main patient health record system data was more common than seamless integration of at least some non-Kanta regional data.

Published: April 2022

This study examines factors that affect the growth of MSMEs which include Information Technology, banking credit, human development index, bank interest rates, and inflation on the growth of small and medium-sized micro enterprises (MSMEs) in DKI Jakarta Province. The research method used is explanatory research with quantitative analysis techniques by applying causal statistical models through multiple linear regression analysis and simple regression analysis with a significance level of 5 (five) percent. The data used is secondary data in the form of a time series. The results showed that partially and simultaneously information technology, banking credit, and Human Development Index (HDI), have a positive effect on the development of MSMEs which means that they can increase the development of MSMEs so that they can be done by increasing the factors that affect them, namely information technology, banking credit and HDI. While interest rates and inflation partially and simultaneously negatively affect the development of MSMEs which means to increasing MSMEs must be done to reduce interest rates and inflation. The development of MSMEs has a positive effect simultaneously on the decline in unemployment, this implies that achieving a decrease in unemployment must be done by increasing the development of MSMEs in DKI Jakarta Province.

Published: April 2022

This paper reveals site suitability analysis for solid waste disposal in Ilesa town of Osun State, Nigeria; with a view to recommending the best site locations for solid waste management in the town. In a survey process, using multi-stage sampling technique, the research made use of 563 copies of a structured questionnaire, which were administered to households in selected quarters of Ilesa. Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques were equally involved in site suitability analysis of existing sites and the determination of proposed/suitable sites for solid waste dumping. Among other findings, household-heads complained of various forms of air pollution emanating from existing minor dumpsites proximal to their homes, with offensive odour being the predominant pollution. Also, the Ilesa solid waste dumpsite (the major dumpsite in town) is located along the Ilesa-Ife expressway at the outskirts of the town and is operated as an open dumpsite rather than a composting, sanitary land fill, incineration or recycling site or system. Relating to this, it was discovered that certain residential buildings were located within 500 metres radius of the dumpsite, which was found inappropriate, using the 2006 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) landfill standard for ‘moderately’ suitable site. This paper recommends minimum distance of 500 metres and 250 metres for water provision and setback from trunk road respectively. Furthermore, the Multi-criteria decision analysis, Factor Criteria and Constraints Criteria from 2006 EPA Landfill Manual were used to determine the best locations for solid waste dumpsites in the area.

Published: April 2022

The study x-rayed the implementation of 20 Community Based Early Childhood Care centers purposively selected in Bauchi and Gombe states. The aim of the study was to ascertain the situation in the centers regarding enrolment, quality and quantity of learning facilities, equipment, and teachers. A descriptive research design with three research questions guided the study using quantitative and qualitative approaches. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data collected through the use of enrolment proforma, questionnaire and observation checklist. The data was analyzed using frequency counts and charts. The major findings show high level of enrolment of male and female children in all the centers with no significant difference between the male and female children. There was collaboration between SUBEBs, communities and UNICEF in the establishment of the centers. Indoor and outdoor learning materials were grossly inadequate across the 20 CBECC centers in the 2 states. Learning centers provided by the communities were inadequate and not conducive for effective learning while basic facilities like toilets and sources of portable water were lacking in most of the centers. Most of the teachers have NCE as their highest qualifications but not related to Early Childhood Education and their number is inadequate. In order to improve on the quality, relevant workshops were organized for some of them by UNICEF. Recommendations made among which is the need for more collaboration between the communities and other relevant stakeholders to raise more funds to ensure a more child friendly environment in the CBECC centers.

Authors: Adegoke I. A. , Ige A. R. , Adejoba O. R. , Aruwajoye D. A. , James J.
Published: April 2022

Mining, plating, dyeing, automobile manufacturing, and metal processing all emit toxic heavy metals into the environment. The environmental challenges, socioeconomic and environmental effects of toxic heavy metals released into the environment cause environmental problems that have exposed our ecosystem to a greater threat, as well as contamination of aquatic water bodies through water runoff, with a subsequent effect on people's health. As a result, research into the roles of biomass as a mitigation process in heavy metal absorption is required. As a result, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the roles of biomass as a medium for heavy metal absorption in contaminated soil. The use of bio-char and other carbonaceous materials such as activated carbon, sawdust, and agricultural residues has shown great potential for the removal of various inorganic and organic pollutants and radionuclides due to properties such as large surface area, micro porous structure, and high adsorption capacity. Pulverized activated charcoal, a promising material based among nano-structured carbon materials, continues to attract a lot of attention due to its unique physical and chemical properties. Lower greenhouse gas emissions and a cleaner environment are two additional environmental benefits of biomass as a renewable energy source. The importance of biomass as a potential natural remediation material cannot be overstated based on the use of biomass waste to treat or resolve anthropogenic environmental problems.

Authors: Chukwu Jemima A. , Vidona Willy B.
Published: April 2022

Background: In developing countries, utilising virtual technologies for learning purposes is no longer a novelty in revolutionising anatomy education. Whereas, the outcome in a Nigerian population is vaguely defined. This study is aimed at evaluating the preferred virtual devices and resources used for anatomy learning by preclinical students. Also, to assess the benefits and possible challenges faced with using virtual technology in medical education. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted which deployed a quantitative and qualitative method in data collection. This study population comprises preclinical medicine students studying at Edo State University, Uzairue, Nigeria during the 2020/2021 academic session. A hard copy questionnaire was designed, reviewed by experts and tested for reliability using Cronbach’s α-coefficient test (= 0.775). Data were analysed using IBM SPSS, version 21. The Chi-square test was used to test for association. Qualitative analysis was done using conventional content analysis. Result: 118 students (90%) completed the questionnaire with sex size proportion as female students (55.1%), male students (44.9%). The mean age of respondents was 19.72 years. More students used android phones (43.2%) for virtual study. The virtual learning environment (VLE) which students preferred was anatomy application (46.6%), of which 29.6% choose the TeachMe anatomy application. Others preferred online platforms (27.1%), Anatomage (16.1%) and multimedia technology (10.2%). VLE played a significant role in learning anatomy (χ2 (36, N=118) = 188.712, p <0.01) and of the eight challenges highlighted by students, ‘virtual learning consumes data’ had the highest frequency (30.5%). Some examples of what students suggested should be improved in their VLE are; “increase deployment and usage of Anatomage to different areas of anatomy” (17.8%), “Wi-Fi supporting connectivity should be steady” (10.2%), “More virtual technologies should be made available” (10, 8.5%). Conclusion: Virtual technology was observed to be very beneficial in anatomy education. Virtual learning resources that could be easily installed on android and iPhone were preferred and effectively utilised in learning anatomy.

Published: April 2022

Background: Mild head trauma (MHT) is defined as loss of consciousness of less than 30 minutes, GCS> 13, post-traumatic amnesia duration of less than 24 hours. The aim of our study is to analyze all the neurological and psychological consequences of MHT

Methods: We carried out a prospective study on 40 cases of mild head trauma in the neurosurgical diagnostic center of Ibn Rochd Hospital Casablanca over a period of 4 months.

Results: The average age was 30 years, with 70% male predominance. At the time of the accident, more than 50% were in professional activity. Road accidents represent 78% of the causes. Hemorrhagic contusion was found in 35% of cases, epidural hematoma in 27%, and only 20% without any radiological abnormalities. The neuropsychiatric sequelae most frequently found are irritability in 92%, followed by headache and restlessness in 90% of cases, rapid mood changes in 87.5%, rapid fatigue, intolerance to noise and light, dizziness as well as memory disorders and sleep disorders are frequent. Patients with hemorrhagic contusions have heavier sequelae, a close relationship was observed between the sequelae of MHT and the disappearance of friendly relations in more than 50% of our patients, as well as the job loss. In 45% of patients, with a marked decline in leisure activities and sports practice.

Conclusion: MHT is a frequent pathology, with a good evolution but sometimes heavy and underestimated neuropsychiatric sequelae. The legal implications are important and lack specificity and the cost is enormous.

Nowadays, IoT platforms have key-roles in almost all domains such as smart agriculture, health, cyber security, etc. The focus of this article is on water quality monitoring which can be improved by the use of wireless sensing networks and the implementation of the IoT technology. The aim of the article is to develop an efficient solution for farmers who irrigate crops with large amounts of water. The solution provided is based on multiple sensors (water quality, air quality, consumption, and climate) so that several parameters of the environment can be monitored simultaneously. The monitored parameters are conductivity, turbidity, salinity, precipitation levels, pH, dissolved oxygen and water temperature. The collected data will be filtered and translated into legible and meaningful data using intelligent algorithms for farmers. This paper is based on the experiments developed in the SWAM project, and the location where they were performed was chosen in Moara Domneasca. The location of the Moara Domnească Experimental Base, where the case study is implemented, is located 25 km from Bucharest, in the Commune of Afumați, Ilfov County in the Subunit of the Romanian Plain. Thus, the quality of the water used for irrigation purposes can be determined following the analysis and periodic monitoring of the parameters

Accurate estimation of the amount of sediment in rivers determination of pollution, river transport, determination of dam life, etc. matters are very important. In this study, sediment estimation in the river was made using Interaction Regression (IR), Pure-Quadratic Regression (PQR) and Support Vector machine (SVM) methods. The observation station on the Patapsco River near Catonsville was chosen as the study area. Prediction model was developed by using daily flow and turbidity data between 2015- 2018 as input parameters. Models were compared to each other according to three statistical criteria, namely, root mean square errors (RMSE), mean absolute relative error (MAE) and determination coefficient (R2 ). These criteria were used to evaluate the performance of the models. When the model results were compared with each other, it was seen that the IR model gave results consistent with the actual measurement results.

Urban areas have higher temperatures than the surrounding suburban/rural areas, a phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI). There is a great interest in creating a healthy and comfortable environment for the growing number of urban dwellers to live in, therefore different methods of combating and diminishing the urban heat island are being studied. One such method is to reduce the energy contribution of buildings to the formation of the urban heat island. In this paper we analyzed the effect of building envelopment, both by seasonal monitoring of surface temperatures using the thermal camera at different time intervals, and by numerical simulations of air temperature at different levels in the atmosphere, using ENVI-met, a three-dimensional non-hydrostatic microclimatic model. The data sets resulting from the monitoring of the surface temperature with the thermal camera showed that the temperature recorded at the surface is lower for the enveloped buildings than for the non-enveloped buildings, during the night but also during the day, less at noon. The numerical simulations were based on two scenarios: i) buildings with non-enveloped walls and ii) the same buildings but with enveloped walls, after running the scenarios for enveloped and non-enveloped buildings. The results showed that following the enveloping process the air temperature in the areas between the buildings is lower for the enveloped buildings, at different heights, both during the night and during the day.

The study is focused on the assessment of so-called “environment incidents” using the database generated through National Environmental Protection Agency. The result will emphasize the typology of the events by the nature of the affected environmental factor (air, water, soil), the spatial distribution on counties and regional level and also temporal occurrence. Most events are associated with water environment, followed by those affecting the soil and the air. Using the pollutant nature evaluation, we have noticed that the most common substances/process responsible for affecting the environmental factors were: hydrocarbons, fires with different origin and involved materials and wastewaters evacuations.

We introduce the notion of FI-retractable modules which is a generalization of retractable modules. A module is called FI-retractable if for every nonzero fully invariant submodule N of M, Hom(M,N) is not 0. Wee continue the study of FI-retractable modules. Amongst other structural properties, we also deal direct sums and direct summands of FI-retractable modules. The last section of the paper is devoted to study of End(M), such that M is FI-retractable.

A group G is called a non-inner nilpotent group, whenever it is nilpotent with respect to a non-inner automorphism. In 2018, all finitely generated abelian non-inner nilpotent groups have been classified. Actually, the authors proved that a finitely generated abelian group G is a non-inner nilpotent group, if G is not isomorphic to cyclic groups Z_p_1p_2...p_t and Z, for a positive integer t and distinct primes p_1, p_2,..., p_t. We conjecture that all finite non-abelian p-groups are non-inner nilpotent and we prove this conjecture for finite $p$-groups of nilpotency class 2 or of co-class 2.

The Danube River and its mouths area and coast line (delta) in documents and maps from the ancient times to the present. The Danube mouth as reported in documents and maps from the Antiquity to date.This mouth of the Danube and its Delta in particular, where a topic interest for many classical scholars (Herodotus, Erathostenes, Polybus, Ptolemey, Strabo etc) and recent scientific researchers who focused their attention on the number of Danube arms and the evolution of the Delta realm from the moment of its formation to the present configuration. The second half of the 19th century witnessed the publication of Sir Ch. Hartley’s map under the aegis of the Danube European Commission. The map was intended to help the selection of and correction works to one the arms in order to facilitate maritime navigation on it. Several other maps were printed in the 20th century by I.Vidraşcu, 1909-1911, the State Water Committee, 1964 and the Institute of Geography, 1983. In addition a series of topographical maps of Romania territory have also been produced. This sector was created as a result of accumulation processes, the north-south coastal marine currents, moving the river alluvia blocked the river mouth forming the Danube Delta and Halmyris lagoon, the whole becoming Razim Sinoie Lake Complex. This marine shore sector, due to the contribution of river alluvia, is characterized generally by the advance in the marine space, but the current conditions (reducing the volume of sediments from the Danube, marine minitransgression and anthropogenic interventions (by the dams raised at the mouth of the Sulina branch and Cape Midia) generate shoreline retreat in some areas. To identify portions of advancement and retreat, and setting the corresponding annual rates, existing topographic map series for a period of over 150 years, hydrographic measurements for 30 years and series of satellite images starting from 1975 were used.

The particularly hot summer of 2021 occurred after the third Mediterranean winter registered in Oltenia. Although the winter was warm, being the third warmest winter in descending order of the seasonal average, the spring of 2021 was cold not only in Oltenia, even in the Northern Hemisphere being considered one of the coldest springs. This weather remained until 15.VI, then on 22.VI began the first heat wave of summer 2021. During the summer of 2021 there were 6 heat waves that had several peaks. (19) with intensities frequently exceeding 38,0°C. The summer maximum temperature was 41.1°C recorded on 1.VIII.2021 in Calafat. The drought and heat wave were intense, and the total duration of the heat waves was 50 days (54.3% of summer days). The particularly hot summer of 2021 was recorded in atypical conditions with neutral Southern Oscillation (ENSO). All spring crops were severely affected. The paper analyses the climatic conditions in the summer of 2021 in Oltenia and climate variability.

For Europe, the undisputed importance of the Danube can be rendered by some general data: Its hydrographic basin surface exceeds 817000 km2, i.e. about 10% of that of the continent, its length is 2857 km and its mean multiannual discharge is about 6500 m3/s, thus ranking second to Volga river. Romania is the country with the largest surface situated within Danube’s basin (97.4%), representing 29% of Danube’s hydrographic basin. The water resources of the Danube in Bazias section amount to 173 billion m3, 30 billion m3 of which are technically usable resources.Our analysis aimed at determining those complex meteorological situations at the European continent level that triggered exceptional discharges along the Danube river, resulting in severe flooding, causing in turn heavy damages, fatalities, population evacuations and considerable rehabilitation costs. A complex analysis was performed, of statistical-synoptic type and those complex meteorological situations were identified that determined the occurrence of such disasters. Discharges and levels of the Danube were used along the whole measuring period, data from the archive of the National Meteorological Administration, and data, map and image archives from Wetterzentrale (Kartenarchiv, NCEP, NCAR, AVN etc.). The complex meteorological situations at the level of the European continent that triggered exceptional discharges along the Danube correlate with intense cyclonic activity, of both the Icelandic and the Mediterranean cyclones, with the negative phase of the North-Atlantic Oscillation and with decreasing or minimum solar activity (according to data from NOAA's Space Environment Center). The most disastrous floods occurred in the spring of 2006. The paper is important for meteorologists, in their weather forecasting activity, for hydrologists, in their hydrological forecasting and for the institutions involvedin flood management.

The Pardé coefficient, first introduced by Maurice Pardé in 1933, is the most famous water regime classification system in the world, and can be calculated and adapted to any river on the globe, based only on the average flow of rivers. In the Căliman Mountains, an analysis of the river’s water flow regime has not been performed according to this coefficient so far, this work being the first of its kind. Following the completion of this paper, it was observed that the variation of climatic elements (precipitation and temperatures) in the period 1950-2010 influenced more the regime at a seasonal than at a year level. Changes were observed at the level of the season with the lowest runoff, at the stations from Someș River basin, changing in the analyzed period from winter to the beginning of the period, in autumn after the year 2000.

Introduction: In the present study, the mean differences of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), D-dimer, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and ferritin levels concentrations between study groups (patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms and patients with mild symptoms) compared tothe control group. The results showed that there were significant increased concentrations of biomarkers levels in group A as compared with group B and control.Objective: This present study aims to evaluate the COVID-19 biomarkers(Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), D-dimer, C-reactive protein, IL-6 and ferritin concentrations) among COVID-19 patients.Methodology: A total of 75 blood samples were collected from male patients with age groups ranging between 30 and 75 years who were suffering from coronavirus. Three groups were included in this study; each group includes 25 patients. Group A patients suffering from coronavirus with severe symptoms, group B patients suffering from coronavirus with mild symptoms and group C with healthy patients as control. All parameters were measured according to standard procedures. Data were analysed in SPSS version 20 by using mean ± SD.Significant association was established by chi-square test taking p-value<0.05.Results: Increased LDH values were linked to an increase in COVID-19 toxicity. On the basis of D-dimer, the probability of mortality can be determined. C-responsive protein and ferritin serum exercises were significantly increased in COVID-19 patients compared to those with mild side effects of COVID-19. IL-6 is a key immunomodulatory cytokine in both normal and infected tissues.Conclusion: LDH, D-dimer, C-reactive protein and serum ferritin are good predictors of COVID-19 severity and may be used for the assessment of clinical outcome.

Quand la recherche transdisciplinaire en environnement promet/promeut un mode de gouvernement: genèse du programme "éco-acteurs" dans les Réserves de biosphère françaises
Authors: Jacob Théo , Hervé Christine
Published: April 2022

Cet article examine la façon dont un groupe de chercheurs français a importé les idées d'Elinor Ostrom, jusqu'à inspirer la naissance d'un programme de gestion dans les réserves de biosphère françaises. Promoteurs d'une philosophie participative visant à dépasser le dilemme État-marché, ces chercheurs ont proposé un modèle de gestion fondé sur l'engagement volontaire des communautés locales. La genèse du programme "éco-acteurs" permet d'analyser les opérations de traduction entre la phase d'exploration par les chercheurs et celle d'opérationnalisation par les gestionnaires, ainsi que les dynamiques de "co-production" entre science et politique. En effet, cet article démontre que la recherche transdisciplinaire en environnement promeut et promet de nouvelles formes de gouvernement qui, tout en cherchant des voies alternatives, s'insèrent dans un ordre néolibéral. À l'heure du "faire mieux avec moins", ces scientifiques ont défendu un type de gouvernement rendu théoriquement efficace et peu coûteux par les mécanismes de "contrôle social." Le programme "éco-acteurs" offre ainsi l'opportunité de confronter les principes théoriques d'Ostrom aux réalités de leur mise en œuvre locale, dans un contexte marqué par un manque généralisé de financements publics.

OBJECTIVE

To describe veterinary house officers’ perceptions of dimensions of well-being during postgraduate training and to identify potential areas for targeted intervention.

SAMPLE

303 house officers.

PROCEDURES

A 62-item questionnaire was generated by use of an online platform and sent to house officers at participating institutions in October 2020. Responses were analyzed for trends and associations between selected variables.

RESULTS

239 residents, 45 rotating interns, and 19 specialty interns responded to the survey. The majority of house officers felt that their training program negatively interfered with their exercise habits, diet, and social engagement. House officers reported engaging in exercise significantly less during times of clinical responsibility, averaging 1.6 exercise sessions/wk (SD ± 0.8) on clinical duty and 2.4 exercise sessions/wk (SD ± 0.9) when not on clinical duty (P < 0.001). Ninety-four percent of respondents reported experiencing some degree of anxiety regarding their physical health, and 95% of house officers reported feeling some degree of anxiety regarding their current financial situation. Overall, 47% reported that their work-life balance was unsustainable for > 1 year; there was no association between specialty and sustainability of work-life balance. Most house officers were satisfied with their current training program, level of clinical responsibility, and mentorship.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Veterinary house officers demonstrated a poor balance between the demands of postgraduate training and maintenance of personal health. Thoughtful interventions are needed to support the well-being of veterinary house officers.

Published: April 2022

Research question: This study investigates and analyzes the influence of earnings management on audit report lag. It also intends to develop a thorough understanding regarding the mediating effect of audit risk on this relation. Motivation: The outcomes of this paper will help to bridge the knowledge gap related to this issue in developing countries due to the importance of audit delay as it relates to corporate transparency. Idea: The issue of reporting delay is important as it relates to corporate transparency. Data: This study is based on a sample consisting of 28 Tunisian companies listed in the Tunis Stock Exchange (TSE) over the periods 2005 to 2010 (pre-2011 revolution) and 2011 to 2017 (post-2011 revolution). Tools: Consisting of 364 observations for the whole period, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach is applied and three models are developed to examine the direct and the indirect link between earnings management and audit report lag. Findings: The results show that firms which manage their earnings upward are more likely to accelerate the release of their financial statements. In addition, in the Tunisian context, audit risk mediates the relationship between earnings management and audit report lag. Contribution: This study extends the existing literature by examining the mediation effect of audit risk on the relationship between earnings management and audit report lag.

Upaya pemberantasan korupsi dengan pendekatan represif cenderung menafikan sarana hukum administrasi dalam mencegah terjadinya kejahatan tipikor yang sebenarnya dari sudut pandang hukum administrasi merupakan salah satu bentuk maladministrasi.

Akhirnya tanggal 13 September 2018 Mahkamah Agung (MA) telah membacakan putusannya dan dalam putusannya membatalkan kedua pasal tersebut dengan alasan Mahkamah Agung menyatakan bahwa peraturan dimaksud bertentangan dengan peraturan perundang-undangan di atasnya.
