Multiverse Meta-Analysis: Proposing an Exploratory Framework
Authors: Rasti Sajedeh
Published: July 2023

Multiverse analysis is a statistical approach in which researchers present all the results deriving from all combinations of arbitrary, but plausible decisions involved in every data analytic process (instead of focusing on a single result). Interpreting the multiverse of results provides fundamental insights into the robustness and uncertainty of scientific findings, therefore increasing transparency. Meta-analysis could particularly benefit from a multiverse approach, as it involves several decisions (e.g., how to impute missing data, which model to use, and how to deal with outliers). However, no specific framework is available to properly interpret the multiverse of meta-analytic results. Based on a real case study, the current work aims to propose an exploratory framework to support researchers in evaluating multiverse meta-analysis via tabular and graphical representations. Furthermore, we will highlight the contribution of each arbitrary decision to the variability of results.

Exodus from Undignified Dying in Hospital
Authors: PARK Joong-Chul
Published: July 2023

South Korea has low scores on both the Happy Planet Index (HPI) and Quality of Death Index (QDI) in comparison to other countries with similar levels of economic development. As the number of hospital deaths increases, so too does the number of people experiencing miserable deaths due to the availability and perhaps misuse of life-sustaining treatment. However, given the current individualized social structure, an increasing number of people will spend the end of their lives in elderly care facilities and hospitals, experiencing miserable deaths. Although many people fear misery at the end of life, a realistic solution to this problem has not yet been found in South Korea. For this reason, a recent proposal to legalize physician-assisted suicide in South Korea has received strong public support. This article argues that past opportunities for meaningful public discussions concerning dignified dying have been squandered and that what is needed at this point is not further legislation that enables us to avoid thinking about these issues but rather mature discussions concerning how we want to die.

 Exploring Mergers and Acquisitions in Public Accounting
Authors: McGowan J. , Norris D.
Published: July 2023

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) assist public accounting firms in multiple ways. These transactions expand client services, open opportunities in consulting and wealth management, increase revenues, and secure talented personnel. This exploratory study looks to build a preliminary model surrounding the likelihood a firm participates in an M&A transaction. To do so, a sample of the top 100 accounting firms, as reported by Accounting Today in 2019, is utilized. This data is combined with hand-collected news reports of mergers or acquisitions that occurred in 2018. Utilizing logistic regression, the effects of different firm characteristics such as revenues, CEO gender, and management efficiency on the likelihood of a public accounting firm being involved in a merger or acquisition are presented. The model is significant, having a log likelihood of 74.65. This study contains limitations. As this study’s sample is confined to the top 100 firms and reflects a short time window, these results might not apply to all accounting firms. Further, not all accounting firms’ M&A transactions are public knowledge, which may result in a biased sample. However, these limitations do not prevent this study from providing value. This study is one of the few to explore M&A transactions in public accounting. As certain firm characteristics are found to be related to M&A activity, this paper provides a starting point for future research on this topic at a time when M&A activity in public accounting is gaining in popularity.
The Reaction of Share Prices to the Announcements of Right Issues and Debenture Issues: Evidence from a Frontier Market
Authors: Jayarathne M. D. S. , Samarakoon S. M. R. K. , Pradhan R. P.
Published: July 2023

Employing the event study methodology, this research probes the response of share prices to announcements of rights issues and debenture issues within the Colombo Stock Exchange. The market model, a quintessential tool for estimating abnormal returns, was harnessed to scrutinize samples encompassing rights issue announcements (n=85) and debenture issue announcements (n=106). These events transpired within the period spanning 2012 to 2019, providing a context post-Global Financial Crisis and pre-COVID-19 pandemic. The findings evince a notable negative reaction of share prices concurrent with the disclosure of rights issuance on the announcement day. Conversely, a non-significant positive reaction was observed for share prices on the debenture issue announcement date. The examination of the selected sectors' share price responses to both rights issue announcements and debenture issue announcements yielded mixed outcomes. Additionally, the results unveil a discrepancy with the semi-strong form of the market efficiency hypothesis, indicating the Sri Lankan Stock market does not adhere strictly to this theoretical proposition. Consequently, this study furnishes crucial insights into the dynamics of share price reactions in frontier markets like Sri Lanka, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on market efficiency.

Authors: Krishna Sarangi Gopal
Published: July 2023

The aim of the study is to map and assess the green job opportunities and potential in selected countries in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region with a specific focus on three key sectors, namely, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and productive use of energy, which are highly relevant to the region’s economic growth and development. The study uses the employment coefficient method as the tool of analysis for assessing green jobs. The analysis shows that India has the most potential to generate a significant number of green jobs in many of the sub-sectors considered, whereas Bhutan has the least potential to create green jobs in the sectors under reference. In small-scale decentralisation interventions such as SHS and ICS, Bangladesh emerges as the country with the highest potential to create jobs.
IOT Integration in Two-Axis Sun Tracking System with LDR Sensors in a Wheatstone Bridge Circuit
Authors: D Jaslin Sindhya
Published: July 2023

In recent years, solar energy has gained significant attention as a clean and sustainable source of power. To maximize the efficiency of solar panels, it is crucial to track the movement of the sun and ensure optimal exposure to sunlight throughout the day. In this project, propose a two-axis sun tracking system that utilizes Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) as sensors and employs the Wheatstone Bridge Circuit for accurate sun position detection. Additionally, the system integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enable remote monitoring of the solar power generation process. The two-axis sun tracking system consists of two main components: the sensor module and the control module. The sensor module consists of LDR sensors strategically placed to detect the intensity of sunlight. The Wheatstone Bridge Circuit is employed to measure the resistance changes in the LDR sensors and accurately determine the sun's position relative to the solar panels. The control module processes the sensor data and generates control signals to adjust the direction of the solar panels accordingly. Furthermore, the system incorporates IoT technology to enable real-time monitoring. The collected sensor data, including the generated voltage and the panel direction, are transmitted to a cloud platform via wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi or cellular networks. Moreover, the integration of IoT technology facilitates remote monitoring, enabling users to optimize energy production and identify any potential issues promptly. Keywords—Wheatstone bridge, LDR sensors, DAST system, PV panel, closed-loop system, Internet of Things.
BIRDS BREED CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM USING CNN
Authors: A L Kavya
Published: July 2023

Now a day some bird species are being found rarely and if found classification of bird species prediction is difficult. Naturally, birds present in various scenarios appear in different sizes, shapes, colors, and angles from human perspective. Besides, the images present strong variations to identify the bird species more than audio classification. Also, human ability to recognize the birds through the images is more understandable. So, this method uses the Caltech-UCSD Birds 200 [CUB-200-2011] dataset for training as well as testing purpose. By using deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) algorithm an image converted into grey scale format to generate autograph by using tensor flow, where the multiple nodes of comparison are generated. These different nodes are compared with the testing dataset and score sheet is obtained from it. After analyzing the score sheet, it can predicate the required bird species by using highest score. Experimental analysis on dataset (i.e., Caltech-UCSD Birds 200 [CUB-200-2011]) shows that algorithm achieves anaccuracy of bird identification between 80% and 90%. The experimental study is done with the Ubuntu 16.04 operating system using a Tensor flow library. KEYWORDS: Caltech-UCSD; grey scale pixels; TensorFlow.

O shiatsu como alternativa terapêutica no tratamento da fibromialgia
Authors: Cardoso Franceli de Fátima Rodrigues Iuga , Polezel Natália Cristina , Padilha Evandro Luís
Published: July 2023

A fibromialgia é uma síndrome caracterizada por dores neuromusculares difusas e pela presença de pontos dolorosos em regiões anatomicamente determinadas, causando distúrbios do sono e fadiga no paciente. O presente estudo teve como objetivo buscar informações na literatura sobre os benefícios da aplicação do Shiatsu em pacientes com fibromialgia por meio de uma investigação exploratória e bibliográfica que aborda pesquisas desenvolvidas dando ênfase em seus aspectos clínicos e ocupacionais. Embora seja uma doença reconhecida há muito tempo, ela tem sido pesquisada somente há três décadas, então pouco se sabe sobre sua etiologia, e não existe tratamento que seja considerado eficaz. Uma das alternativas usadas como recurso terapêutico para diminuir os sintomas da síndrome da fibromialgia crônica é o Shiatsu, uma técnica oriental aplicada pela compressão dos polegares e da palma das mãos nos pontos que têm ligação direta com os órgãos internos, fazendo com que a energia circule livremente, proporcionando relaxamento, bem-estar e equilíbrio das funções orgânicas. O tratamento requer ainda maior rigor e uma abordagem holística que complete o indivíduo como um todo. A completa compreensão da fibromialgia requer uma avaliação abrangente da dor, da função e do contexto psicossocial. É importante, porém,avaliar a gravidade de outros sintomas, como fadiga, distúrbios do sono, do humor, além relevância de se aferir o impacto que tais sintomas têm sobre a qualidade de vida do paciente, que podem ser fatores abrangentes desta patologia. Desta forma, as informações encontradas na literatura permitiram observar que a síndrome da fibromialgia vem sendo analisada na prática médica como um conceito sem causa definida, e a aplicação do Shiatsu torna-se uma opção como método complementar e não invasivo ao tratamento.

Jedan od načina ostvarivanja suštinske jednakosti kao konstantne težnje svakog društva je i primena afirmativne akcije. U oblasti rada, afirmativnom akcijom se određenoj kategoriji radnika daje prednost prilikom zapošljavanja i napredovanja, jer se usled različitih društvenih faktora dugi niz godina nalaze u nejednakom položaju u poređenju sa ostalim stanovništvom. Autor u radu, kroz analizu prakse Evropskog suda pravde i primarnih i sekundarnih izvora komunitarnog prava, skreće pažnju na nekoliko mogućih modaliteta primene afirmativne akcije. Ovakav pristup, zajedno sa pregledom relevantnih teorijskih stanovišta o legitimnosti afirmativne akcije omogućuje nam da odredimo granicu jednakosti, granicu posle koje primena afirmativne akcije gubi početnu svrhu zbog koje se primenjuje i počinje da deluje u kontra smeru.

Authors: Fadhilla Atika , Khairunnisa Cut , Yuziani Yuziani
Published: July 2023

Drinking water is a very important component in everyday life. Refill Drinking Water Depot (DAMIU) is a business that produces drinking water so that it can be consumed directly by the public. The quality of refill drinking water must be considered because it can be contaminated by heavy metals from the environment or due to negligence of human activities. Excessive iron (Fe) in drinking water can be toxic and endanger health. Excess Fe intake for a long time will result in secondary hemochromatosis and dental caries. This study was conducted to determine the content and average levels of Fe contained in 51 samples of DAMIU in Lhokseumawe City. This type of research is descriptive laboratory. The sampling technique used in this research is simple random sampling. Fe levels were measured using Atomic Absorption Specthrophotometry through the SSA-Flame method and the results were based on the PERMENKES RI No. 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010 with the provision that Fe content should not exceed 0.3 mg/L.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is mainly managed with alpha-blocker and 5 alpha reductase inhibitors. Non responders are offered surgery. To wait for the drug response is sometimes cumbersome for the patients with bothersome symptoms and may also lead to complications. On the other hand, some have minimal symptoms on drugs but silently develop obstructive complications. Aim: To understand the role of sonographic parameters of prostate and bladder of BPH patients in predicting and assessing response to medical treatment. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in the Department of Urology at Army Hospital Research and Referral, New Delhi, India. The duration of the study was 15 months, from October 2017 to January 2019. A total of 100 consecutive patients of BPH with Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) <4 ng/mL and prostate of >35 cc were given three months of alpha-blocker and dutasteride. Based on there subjective response, they were grouped into Symptomatic Improved (SI) and Not Improved (NI) group. Values of sonographic parameters including Prostate Volume (PV), prostatic capsular artery Resistance Index (RI), Intravesical Protrusion of Prostate (IPP), Detrusor Wall Thickness (DWT) and Post-void Residual volume (PVR), as well as, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Uroflowmetry (UFM) at baseline and after three months of treatment were analysed and compared in both the groups. The significance of change in parameters was analysed using paired t-test and two sample Student’s t-test. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 64.8±5.86 years. There was an association between IPSS and flow with initial reading of PV, PVR, DWT, RI and IPP. Post-treatment both, SI (n=74) and NI (n=26) group showed valuable difference in DWT, PV and PVR but it was significantly more in improved group. Significant change in RI was observed only in SI group and IPP did not change in either group. Area Under Curve (AUC) under Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) was suggestive of higher sensitivity for IPP in predicting drug outcome. Conclusion: Combined use of Ultrasonography (USG) and Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) parameters as described above like RI, DWT, PV and IPP can be used to predict and assess the objective response to drug in BPH. This helps in determining therapeutic plan and the need for further medical therapy or surgical intervention.

We present a case of a 69-year-old male with profound Cushing's syndrome and hypercortisolemia secondary to a cortisol-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma. Patient was not a surgical candidate and subsequently underwent a successful posterior approach tumor cryoablation. The procedure was complicated by a T11 intercostal artery injury and hemothorax. The detection of the culprit injury was almost immediate and the quick response time, and treatment of the injury via an intercostal artery embolization was critical to limiting the patient's morbidity and mortality. This case discusses the technical challenges of a posterior-approach ablation, the pitfalls to avoid, and the importance of attaining rapid hemostasis.
