Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the relevance of the values of accounting information to the company's stock price. Each company does not provide direct authority in providing company financial information to external groups, namely investors and creditors. Therefore, they rely on information in the form of financial reports provided by management. The theory used in this research uses clean surplus theory, market efficiency theory, signal theory, and value relevance theory. Clean surplus theory provides assumptions about how to show the market value of a company based on the values contained in the balance sheet and income statement. The theory of market efficiency explains the security prices with published accounting information have value relevance. Signal theory explains the signal from the sender (the owner of the information) which provides relevant information to the receiver that is useful for increasing decision-making power. Value relevance theory explains about an information that is used to explain or describe the values of the company. This study uses secondary data observation techniques obtained from the annual financial statements of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2012-2021. This research using a non-probabilistic sampling technique, using a purposive sampling method where in this method the sampling uses certain criteria. The total sample obtained reached 120 research samples. The data analysis techniques used include descriptive statistical analysis, coefficient similarity test, classical assumption test, multiple linear regression analysis, F statistic test, t statistic test, and coefficient of determination test. The results showed that the F test (α = 0.05) obtained a significance value of 0.000 so it can be said that the test is acceptable. Based on the t test, the value of significance Book Value Per Share (BVPS), Investing Cash Flow (CFINV), and Financial Cash Flow (CFFIN) each of 0.000, 0.000 and 0.010 so that H2, H4, and H5 are accepted. However, the value of significance for the Earning Per Share (EPS) and Operating Cash Flow (CFOPS) variables each of 0.144 and 0.304 so that H1 and H3 are rejected.

Examining and assessing the effects of company size, profitability, and institutional ownership on state-owned enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange's dividend policy from 2018 to 2022 is the goal of this research. In this study, logistic regression analysis was utilized with the assistance of SPSS 29. Utilizing secondary data from corporate annual reports and financial reports that are available on each company's website as well as the IDX, this study is quantitative in nature. The study's population consists of the 24 state-owned companies that were listed on the Indonesian stock exchange between 2018 and 2022. In this study, 75 data samples from 15 businesses that complied with the criteria were used to implement purposeful sampling. The results of the study indicate that, at least in part, profitability has a considerable favorable influence on the dividend policy. The company's size has no discernible effect on the dividend policy. Institutional ownership has no appreciable effect on the dividend policy. The study's implication for the corporation is that it should maximise profits through improved performance, particularly when it comes to the utilisation of company assets. Investors might therefore infer from this that they can base their selections on profitability. This is due to the study's showing that dividend policy can be impacted by a company's profitability.

Slavery and Its Afterlives in US Psychiatry
Authors: Edwards-Grossi Èlodie , Willoughby Christopher D. E.
Published: March 2024

Antecedents of racist treatments of Black patients by the psychiatric profession in the United States affect the way they view treatment today. Specifically, in this essay, we explore the enduring consequences of racial science on various treatment practices.

We examined a range of primary sources on the history of racial theories about the mind, medical and psychiatric publications, and hospitals. We contextualize this analysis by examining the secondary literature in the history and sociology of psychiatry. Through analyzing racial thinking from the antebellum through the Jim Crow periods, we show how US medicine and psychiatry have roots in antebellum racial science and how carceral logics underpinned the past and present politics of Black mental health.

Changing this trajectory requires practitioners to interrogate the historical foundations of racist psychiatric concepts. This essay urges them to reject biological racial realism, which bears reminiscences to 19th-century racial science, and embrace the variable of race as a social construct to study social inequalities in health as a first step toward moving away from the legacies of past injustices in medicine.

Published: March 2024

Objective This study aims to examine the factors contributing to the increase in extracellular water to total body water ratio (ECW/TBW) among tumor patients without visible edema, and to offer insights into the diagnosis and prompt management of early water retention in such patients.
Methods A cohort of 274 tumor patients admitted to Anqing First People's Hospital, affiliated with Anhui Medical University between December 2020 and December 2022, were selected, excluding those with clinically observable edema. General clinical data, main laboratory test outcomes, and body composition indices were gathered. Valuable variables were identified for linear regression analysis using ECW/TBW, based on professional knowledge and univariate analysis results.
Results Age, gender, hemoglobin, serum sodium, serum potassium, and phase angle (PA) were determined as independent influencing factors for elevated ECW/TBW. ECW/TBW increased with age (partial regression coefficient B=0.009, P=0.001), was higher in males than in females (B=-0.349, P<0.001), and was negatively affected by hemoglobin (Hgb) (B=-0.003, P=0.039). Serum sodium had a positive influence on ECW/TBW (B=0.019, P=0.011), while serum potassium exhibited a negative effect (B=-0.180, P=0.001). PA was the most influential factor among all independent variables affecting ECW/TBW (B=-1.006, P<0.001). Nonetheless, Performance Status (PS) score, Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) score, tumor stage, prealbumin, albumin, and body fat percentage were not identified as independent factors influencing elevated ECW/TBW.
Conclusion The early factors influencing water retention in tumor patients primarily stem from abnormal cell membrane function, but are also impacted by age, gender, anemia, and electrolyte levels. Timely body composition testing can assist in subsequent intervention decision-making.

Strongly correlated electrons enable the realization of a plethora of quantum states of matter, such as Wigner crystallization, fractional quantum Hall effect, and high-temperature superconductivity. When correlated electrons and holes are allowed to coexist, they become intertwined and fuel the pursuit of quantum excitonic states harbouring counterflow superfluidity1,2 and topological orders with long-range quantum entanglement3,4. While such collective quantum states have been reported in sophisticated multi-layered heterostructures1,2,4–8, realizing and controlling such quantum states in a single natural strongly correlated material has remained challenging due to the fast particle recombination. Here, we report the creation of imbalanced electron-hole crystals in a doped multi-orbital honeycomb Mott insulator, α-RuCl3, through gate-tunable non-invasive van der Waals (vdW) doping from graphene. The absence of layer separation allows the immediate visualization of electron-hole crystals via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Real-space imaging reveals two completely different charge orderings at the lower Hubbard band (LHB) and the upper Hubbard band (UHB) energies, whose origin can be attributed to the correlation-driven honeycomb hole crystal composed of hole-rich Ru sites and rotational symmetry breaking paired electron crystal composed of electron-rich Ru-Ru bonds, respectively. Moreover, a gate-induced transition of electron-hole crystals can be directly visualized, further corroborating their nature as correlation-driven charge crystals9. The realization and atom-resolved visualization of imbalanced electron-hole crystals in a doped multi-orbital honeycomb Mott insulator, combined with a gate-tunable electron reservoir, opens new doors in the search for exotic correlated bosonic states within strongly correlated materials5,8,10–12.
Global ecosystem restoration alone is not enough to mitigate climate change

Published: March 2024

Ecosystem restoration is increasingly recognized as a means of climate change mitigation. Former global-scale studies predicted that ecosystem restoration can nearly offset human carbon emission since the Industrial Revolution1,2, but these were heavily criticized for their tree-centric view or questionable modeling approaches3,4, which hinders planning large-scale, long-term restoration strategies, such as the EU’s Nature Restoration Law. Here, we developed a novel, realistic model for the carbon sequestration potential of ecosystem restoration until 2100, and show that the maximum carbon capture is 96.9 Gt, which is 17.6% of the anthropogenic emissions to date, and only 3.7–12.0% if taking into account future emissions until 2100. Thus, ecosystem restoration can play a role in climate change mitigation only if orchestrated with a pervasive shift towards sustainable, low-emission economies globally. Even in the most favorable scenario5,6, the year when we cross the global zero emission line is brought forward by less than a decade to the late 2060s. Therefore, we suggest that political/economic views of climate change mitigation should not overshadow the primary goals of ecosystem restoration, which are combating the biodiversity crisis and supporting human livelihoods by increasing the resilience of ecosystem services (apart from carbon sequestration), even in a changing climate.
Implementing a shared decision-making tool to support treatment decisions for patients following an Anterior Cruciate Ligament rupture – a protocol for the POP-ACLR feasibility study
Authors: Carter Hayley , Beard David , Dodsley Charlotte , Leighton Paul , McCallion Joshua , Moffatt Fiona , Smith Benjamin , Webster Kate , Logan Pip
Published: March 2024

Background
Treatment for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) rupture may follow a surgical or non-surgical pathway. At present, there is uncertainty around treatment choice. Two shared decision-making tools have been co-designed to support patients to make a decision about treatment following an ACL rupture. The shared decision-making tools include a patient information leaflet and an option grid. We report the protocol for a mixed methods feasibility study, with nested qualitative interviews, to understand feasibility, acceptability, indicators of effectiveness and implementation factors of these shared decision-making tools.
Methods
A single centre non-randomised feasibility study will be conducted with 20 patients. Patients diagnosed with an ACL rupture following magnetic resonance imaging will be identified from an orthopaedic clinic. The shared decision-making tools will be delivered during a clinical consultation with a physiotherapist. The primary feasibility outcomes include: recruitment rate, fidelity, acceptability and follow-up questionnaire completion. The secondary outcome is the satisfaction with decision scale. The nested qualitative interview will explore experience of using the shared decision-making tool to understand acceptability, implementation factors and areas for further refinement.
Discussion
This study will determine the feasibility of using a newly developed shared decision-making tool designed to support patients to make a decision about treatment of their ACL rupture. The acceptability and indicators of effectiveness will also be explored. In the long term, the shared decision-making tools may improve service and patient outcomes and ensure cost-effectiveness for the NHS; ensuring those most likely to benefit from surgical treatment proceed along this pathway.

Legg-Calve´-Perthes disease - diagnostic value of acetabular-femoral head match index
Authors: Zhao Dun , Fan YiNuo , Guan WenRu , Xiong Hao , Fang Bin , Li Yue
Published: March 2024

Early treatment of Legg-Calve´-Perthes disease (LCPD)can improve hip joint activity and life management in adulthood. However, the current classification of LCPD is based on imaging findings in the fragmented stage of the disease, which is prone to delay treatment. Therefore the aim of this study is to evaluate the potential risk factors associated with poor radiological outcomes of LCPD, and to develop a new index for hip consistency evaluation, which can be used to speculate radiographic outcomes at the time of the first visit. The acetabular-femoral head match index (AFMI) of each enrolled subject was measured in standard anterior-posterior radiograph images. In the study of patients presenting during necrosis and fragmentation stage, a significant correlation was established between AFMI and modified Stulberg classification (P<0.05). The results of binary logistic regression analyses showed that Herring classification of fragmentation stage and AFMI were the main risk factors for flat hips. Thus, we provide evidence suggesting that AFMI has a potential role in predicting patients who do not respond well to conservative treatment. Although prospective multicenter studies are needed, these results provide useful clinical clues for the early treatment of LCPD.
Suppression of clubroot disease in rapeseed through an endophytic fungus, Acremonium alternatum

Published: March 2024

Clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae ranks among the most significant diseases affecting rapeseed cultivars, leading to substantial annual yield losses. Current control methods are limited to a small selection of chemical or biological treatments. Using biocontrol organisms presents a promising strategy for reducing disease severity and promoting plant vigour. However, their efficacy is strongly dependent on biotic and abiotic factors during the growing season, as well as the specific application conditions. In the present study, we evaluated the efficacy of the biocontrol fungus Acremonium alternatum in reducing clubroot disease symptoms across different susceptible and resistant rapeseed cultivars (Brassica napus) under various experimental greenhouse settings employing different types of P. brassicae inoculum: a uniform single spore isolate e3 and two German field isolates P1 and P1 (+). We found that A. alternatum reduced clubroot disease symptoms in susceptible rapeseed cultivars Visby, Ability and Jenifer, but not cv. Jumbo, when inoculated with the aggressive single spore isolate P. brassicae e3 at moderate (106 spores mL− 1) and high (107 spores mL− 1) densities. A. alternatum enhanced plant vitality and shoot biomass in cv. Visby inoculated with field isolates P1 or P1 (+) but did not considerably reduce clubroot severity there. The clubroot resistant cv. Mentor exhibited a positive response to A. alternatum treatment, displaying a reduction in clubroot symptoms. In conclusion, A. alternatum demonstrates promise in managing moderate P. brassicae levels in the soil and could serve as an option in integrated pest management of clubroot disease when combined with resistant cultivars.
Seismic Microzonation and Future Forecasting of Earthquakes in Western Anatolia through K-Means Clustering Analysis with Magnitude Volatility Detection by Entropy Approaches
Authors: Karakavak Hatice Nur , Cekim Hatice Oncel , Kadilar Gamze Ozel , Tekin Senem
Published: March 2024

Western Anatolia stands out as one of the globally active seismic regions. The paleoseismic history of numerous significant faults in this area, including information about recurrence intervals of damaging earthquakes, magnitude, displacement, and slip rates, remains inadequately understood. The extensive crustal extension at the regional level has given rise to significant horst-graben systems delineated by kilometer-scale normal faults, particularly in carbonate formations, where vertical crustal displacements have taken place. We categorize earthquakes with a k-means clustering algorithm in Western Anatolia from 1900 to 2021 based on specific characteristics or patterns present in the data. Additionally, we explore the volatility in depth and size within each cluster using approximate and sample entropy methods. These entropy measures offer valuable insights into the complexity and irregularity of earthquake patterns in different zones. The findings indicate that to understand seismic activity in the Aegean region comprehensively, it needs to be analyzed by dividing it into three regions using the k-means clustering algorithm. Entropy procedures are implemented to validate that the identified regions accurately depict the seismic patterns. The long-short-term memory (LSTM) method obtains separate earthquake magnitude predictions for each of the three regions. When these values are evaluated with the root mean squared error (RMSE) criterion for the three regions with the actual values, the train data gives strong results with 0.30 and the test data with 0.49 on average. The outcomes demonstrate that the future forecast for each region exhibits unique trends, predicting larger earthquakes in the second segment.

Results:
A total of 61 FMF patients were included of which 24 (39%) had the E148Q/E148Q MEFV mutation and 37 (61%) had the E148Q/E148Q + V726A/- MEFV mutation. Patients with the E148Q/E148Q + V726A/- MEVF mutation were significantly more often of Druze descent compared to patients with the E148Q/E148Q MEFV mutation. Most patients had mild or moderate disease severity. CRP levels decreased significantly after colchicine treatment.
Conclusion:
Patients with the E148Q mutation alone present with mild to moderate disease severity in all ethnic groups of Israeli FMF patients. Disease severity did not differ between patients with E148Q/E148Q + V726A/- MEFV mutation and E148Q/E148Q mutation alone. Colchicine treatment should be given

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a multifactorial syndrome that leads to cardiac muscle overload and distension. This generates right ventricular remodeling associated with sudden death (SCD) caused by ventricular arrhythmias. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important but simple tool for diagnosing arrhythmias allowing the early detection of SCD in ventricular remodeling due to PH through the measurement of the QT and T-peak T-end (TpTe) intervals which represent total ventricular electric activity and whose alteration may suggest a predisposition to SCD. This study aims to determine the role of arrhythmogenesis indicators in canine PH.Methods: Retrospective cardiologic evaluation of 53 dogs with PH (n=23 diagnosed with post-PH, and n=30 diagnosed with pre-PH), and 21 healthy (Control) dogs were used in this study. ECG records were used to determine, rhythm, heart rate, QRS duration, QRS dispersion, QT interval then corrected for heart rate (QTc); QT dispersion interval, QT interval variance (QTv), TpTe interval, and TpTe/QT. Prognostic and survival information were also recorded for the PH group. Results: QRS dispersion was significatively different (p 0.035) in dogs with PH compared with the healthy animals and when a cut-off value of 16.5 was applied there was a median survival time of 278 days in dogs with QRSdisp >16.5. QT, QTc, TpTe failed to demonstrate arrhythmogenic risk in dogs with PH. Conclusions: Dogs with post-PH showed a higher arrhythmogenic risk compared to animals with pre-PH and control animals. QRS dispersion may be used as an indicator of arrhythmogenesis in dogs with PH.

Authors: Nahar Prateek
Published: March 2024

Biometric systems authenticate individuals based on unique physiological or behavioural traits for identification and access control, providing heightened security compared to traditional password-based methods. Automatic fingerprint recognition is widely employed for its reliability and uniqueness, yet fingerprint classification remains challenging in large-scale recognition systems due to variability, noise, and ambiguity. This paper presents a deep learning approach to fingerprint classification, utilizing the VGG16 model for feature extraction and classification. By employing precise algorithms, our method accelerates identification by reducing the number of comparisons needed during fingerprint retrieval. Our framework, tested on the FVC2004 DB1 database, demonstrates significant advancements in accuracy, highlighting deep learning's efficacy in enhancing biometric identification systems.

Published: March 2024

This research examines the impact of Key Performance Indicators on Telekom Networks radio availability in several regions, including BT Urban, Rural South, Central, and North. Through exploratory data analysis, we prepared datasets for an in-depth examination. Given the complexity of linking Key Performance Indicators directly with radio availability, our method utilised scatter graphs to visualise and analyse regional and temporal variations in network performance. The study identifies substantial inconsistencies in radio availability, suggesting opportunities for network enhancements. Although no direct correlation between Key Performance Indicators’ and radio availability was found, the visual analysis highlights significant regional performance differences. It emphasizes the importance of ongoing network monitoring and specific improvements to boost Telekom Networks' radio availability. A key challenge was the indirect analysis approach necessitated by the varied dataset structures, pointing out the need for more comprehensive data that could facilitate direct correlations. This investigation enriches the understanding of Key Performance indicators' effects on radio availability and paves the way for future research on mobile network optimisation.

Published: March 2024

Environmental gradients in the sea may coincide with phenotypic or genetic gradients resulting from an evolutionary balance between selection and dispersal (i.e. marine clines). The population differentiation of the harbour crab, Liocarcinus depurator, an important by-catch species in the Mediterranean Sea and North-East Atlantic, was assessed here using both genetic and morphometric approaches. A total of 472 specimens were collected along its distribution area, and 17 morphometric landmarks, one mitochondrial gene (COI) and 11 polymorphic microsatellite markers were scored in 350, 287 and 280 individuals, respectively. Morphometric data lacked significant differences, but genetic analyses showed a reduction in gene flow between Atlantic and Mediterranean populations, with a steeper gradient in COI compared to microsatellite markers. Interestingly, nuclear differentiation was due to an outlier locus overlapping with the mtDNA genetic gradient. Such overlapping clines are likely to be maintained by natural selection along the Atlantic-Mediterranean transition area. Our results suggest a scenario of past isolation with local adaptation and secondary contact between the two basins. The process of vicariance may reinforce genetic differentiation at loci maintained by environmental selection even after secondary contact.

Introduction
Artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI's Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer – version 4 (GPT-4), are being increasingly explored for medical applications, including clinical decision support. The introduction of the capability to analyze graphical inputs marks a significant advancement in the functionality of GPT-4. Despite the promising potential of AI in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, the effectiveness of GPT-4 in interpreting complex 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) remains to be assessed.
Methods
This study utilized GPT-4 to interpret 150 12-lead ECGs from the Cardiology Research Dubrava (CaRD) registry, spanning a wide range of cardiac pathologies. The ECGs were classified into four categories for analysis: Arrhythmias (Category 1), Conduction System abnormalities (Category 2), Acute Coronary Syndrome (Category 3), and Other (Category 4). Two experiments were conducted: one where GPT-4 interpreted ECGs without clinical context and another with added clinical scenarios. A panel of experienced cardiologists evaluated the accuracy of GPT-4's interpretations. Statistical significance was determined using the Shapiro-Wilk test for distribution, Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables, and Chi-square/Fisher's exact tests for categorical variables.
Results
In this cross-sectional, observational study, GPT-4 demonstrated a correct interpretation rate of 19% without clinical context and a significantly improved rate of 45% with context (p < 0.001). The addition of clinical scenarios significantly enhanced interpretative accuracy, particularly in the Category 3 (Acute Coronary Syndrome) (10 vs. 70%, p < 0.0.01). Unlike Category 4 (Other) which showed no impact (51 vs. 59%, p = 0.640), an impact with a trend toward significance was observed in Category 1 (Arrhythmias) (9.7 vs. 32%, p = 0.059) and Category 2 (Conduction System abnormalities) (4.8 vs. 19%, p = 0.088) when tasked with context.
Conclusion
While GPT-4 shows some potential in aiding ECG interpretation, its effectiveness varies significantly depending on the presence of clinical context. The study suggests that, in its current form, GPT-4 alone may not suffice for accurate ECG interpretation across a broad spectrum of cardiac conditions.

Published: March 2024

At present, hardware trojan detection methods based on the side channel analysis technology mainly depend on the presence of the template chip, resulting in a problem that it is difficult to put the methods into practical applications. In addition, detection focus is always paid on the impact of the hardware trojan on the target circuit, and impact of hardware trojan trigger state on the target circuit is ignored. To address the abovementioned problems, a hardware trojan detection method based on anomalous behavior analysis is proposed in this paper. Firstly, detection theory based on anomalous behavior analysis is proposed, and an anomalous behavior analysis methods based on the DBN (Deep Belief Networks) and the QPSO-OCSVM (Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization-One Class Support Vector Machine) is designed, based on which a detection model is established.
This paper first proposed the detection theory based on anomalous behavior analysis, designs the anomalous behavior analysis methods based on DBN and QPSO-OCSVM, and build a detection model on this basis. Then, a hardware trojan detection platform designed and implemented, where three trigger-type hardware Trojans for the AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption in the international Trust-Hub library are selected as the detection object and implanted to the encryption chip. Finally, the DBN model is utilized to extract the feature and reduce the dimensionality of the captured behavior data. The QPSO-OCSVM is used for detecting the anomalous behavior and obtaining the final detection result. Experimental results show that the detection method proposed in this paper could achieve the detection accuracy higher than 99% for the hardware trojans with resource occupancy rates of only 0.33%, 0.34%, and 0.76%. Optimal analysis model is established and a performance comparison with the anomalous detection model based on Isolation Forest and Local Outlier Factor is implemented, exhibiting that the detection model proposed in this paper has the highest performance.

Tuberculosis is a disease that can affect many organs in the human body and is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Abdominal tuberculosis is uncommon, with a reported incidence of 2.5% among extrapulmonary tuberculosis patients in the United States. Hypercalcemia in tuberculosis is a rare complication with a prevalence that varies between 2.3 and 28%. Most hypercalcemic patients with tuberculosis remain asymptomatic. (88%) We report a patient with non-PTH-related hypercalcemia as the presenting complaint who was later diagnosed with intestinal tuberculosis.
