Extreme enhancement of the quality (Q)-factor and mode field intensity in cavity-resonator gratings
Authors: Popov Evgeny , Hemsley Elizabeth , Fehrembach Anne-Laure , Gauthier-Lafaye Olivier , Monmayrant Antoine , Calvez Stéphane
Published: June 2022

In this paper, dielectric Cavity-Resonant Integrated-Grating Filters (CRIGFs) are numerically optimized to achieve extremely high-quality factors, by optimizing the cavity in/out-coupling rate and by introducing apodizing mode-matching sections to reduce scattering losses. Q-factors ranging between 0.1 and 50 million are obtained and two different domains are distinguished, as a function of the perturbation parameter which controls the cavity in/out-coupling rate. When the cavity coupling Q-factor is lower than the Q-factor of the uncoupled Fabry-Perot cavity, corresponding to the over-coupling regime, the reflectivity response exhibits a high resonance maximum. On the contrary, in the under-coupling regime the resonant reflectivity maximum is much weaker since the scattering losses of the uncoupled cavity dominate. Between these two domains, the so-called critical coupling condition leads to very strong field enhancement inside the device, reaching up to 104 times the incident field amplitude. This theoretical work paves the way towards the practical implementation of CRIGFs with much higher Q-factors than currently demonstrated, potentially reaching performance on a par with other resonators such as photonic crystal cavities or whispering gallery mode resonators. These results can serve to optimize the design of narrow-band planar grating filters, particularly for application in non-linear optics.
Five-layer planar hot-electron photodetectors at telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm
Authors: Shao Weijia , Hu Junhui , Wang Yongmei
Published: June 2022

Cost-effective and high-responsivity photodetectors at a telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm are highly desired in optical communication systems. Differing from conventional semiconductor-based photodetectors, several planar hot-electron photodetectors (HE PDs) that operate at 1550 nm have been reported. However, these devices were often comprised of many planar layers and exhibited relatively low responsivities. Herein, we propose a design of high-performance planar HE PDs consisting of five layers. Utilizing Fabry-Pérot (FP) resonance, the nearly perfect absorption of the proposed device can be achieved at the targeted wavelength of 1550 nm. Simulation results show that FP resonance orders are crucial for the optical absorption efficiencies, and then electrical responses. Analytical electrical calculations reveal that, benefiting from the strong absorption (>0.6) in the ultrathin Au layer with a thickness of 5 nm and the low Schottky barrier (0.5 eV) of Au-MoS2 contact, predicted responsivity of proposed HE PD at zero-order FP resonance is up to ∼10 mA/W. Our design provides a new approach to realize low-cost and efficient photodetection for optical communication technology.
Ultraviolet laser-induced damage characteristics of 70% deuterated potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystals

Published: June 2022

Bulk damage of deuterated potassium dihydrogen phosphate (DKDP, KD2PO4) crystal can be induced by intense laser irradiation, severely restricting the output of high- power laser energy and the usage of DKDP crystals in high-power laser systems. In this paper, laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) and damage growth characteristics of DKDP crystal under 355 nm laser irradiation were systematically studied. The bulk laser-induced damage (LID) density of the crystal increased exponentially with the increase of the laser irradiation fluence. LID closely relates to the growth defects called precursors. Laser conditioning could effectively enhance the LID resistance by modifying the precursors. The LID density of DKDP crystals decreases after laser conditioning, and the increasing conditioning fluence can reduce the LID density. Damage growth after the initial LID by 1-on-1 measurement is different from that by R-on-1 measurement since the process of R-on-1 measurement leading to initial LID is equal to the laser conditioning procedure. The study in this paper provides a reference for improving the application of DKDP crystal in high-power laser systems.

Diacerein in the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain
Authors: Polishchuk E. Yu. , Karateev A. E.
Published: June 2022

Chronic musculoskeletal pain (MSP) is the most painful manifestation of rheumatic diseases (RD), the main cause of disability, a decrease in the quality and life expectancy of patients, which determines not only the high medical, but also the social significance of this problem. The chronic nature of the pain forces patients with MSP to use analgesic therapy for a long time. At the same time, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the first-line treatment for MSP. However, it is well known that the use of this group of drugs is associated with significant difficulties, mainly due to the comorbid pathology that is common in middle-aged and elderly people. In this regard, there are continuing attempts at searching for alternative agents for chronic MSP control, which have analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity similar to NSAIDs, but lack their side effects. Some researchers believe that diacerein can become such drug.

Authors: Shumilova A. A. , Travkina E. I. , Reshetnyak T. M.
Published: June 2022

Skin and mucous membranes lesions in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) significantly impair the quality of life of patients, although they are not a formidable manifestation of the disease. Skin manifestations of SLE can occur both at the onset and on the late stage of the disease. Although skin and mucous membranes lesions are clearly grouped in the latest classification criteria for SLE, verification of the diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary approach. In the etiology of SLE, environmental factors, hormonal factors, and genetic predisposition play a role. Further research will reveal differences in subtypes of cutaneous lupus erythematosus and will facilitate the development of new therapies.

Authors: Triyanto Dedik Nur , Rohmah Lutfi Kurniatir
Published: June 2022

The companyâ€™s CSR activities illustrate that, in addition to carrying out its operational activities, the company is also responsible for the sur-rounding environment. This sharia-based social performance reporting is assessed based on the sharia index developed by AAOFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of public share ownership, firm size, leverage, profitability, and corporate governance on the disclosure of Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR). The sample was taken from 12 sharia companies registered in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) for the 2015-2020 period using a purposive sampling technique. The data were analysed using panel data regression analysis through the EViews 11 application. Firms and profitability affect Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR) disclosures, and public share ownership has a negative effect on ICSR disclosures, while leverage and corporate governance variables do not affect Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR) disclosures. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that elements in corporate governance can carry out their duties and responsibilities in carrying out their duties so that ICSR disclosure is carried out better.
Retour sur deux paniques morales canoniques aux États-Unis dans les années 1930 : l’apport d’une perspective interinstitutionnelle
Authors: Philibert Anne
Published: June 2022

La diabolisation du cannabis et de ses consommateurs dans les années 1930 aux États-Unis est devenue un exemple classique de « panique morale » dans la littérature des sciences sociales. À partir d’un retour sur cet épisode qui s’est particulièrement manifesté à l’intérieur du Federal Bureau of Narcotics, et grâce à la mise en perspective avec un épisode parallèle de campagne de lutte contre le crime menée par le Federal Bureau of Investigation, je suggère deux voies possibles pour discuter de l’apport heuristique de la panique morale dans l’analyse sociologique. D’une part, en s’intéressant au contexte institutionnel de production de la panique morale, on montrera qu’elle illustre la montée de la recherche de l’efficacité dans les deux agences, à travers notamment le développement d’une police scientifique, moderne, et professionnelle. D’autre part, en restituant le contexte politique de ces deux séquences, il sera possible de montrer comment celles-ci révèlent les défis liés à l’expansion des pouvoirs du gouvernement fédéral.
Verdicts médiatiques et contestations juvéniles. Analyse de la dynamique et des effets des « paniques morales » autour des mangas et « japoniaiseries » en France
Authors: Vanhée Olivier
Published: June 2022

Cet article se propose d’analyser les dynamiques, les effets et les usages des « paniques morales » ayant eu pour objet les mangas et les séries d’animation japonaise en France. Il s’appuie sur l’analyse des entretiens réalisés avec des lecteurs et lectrices nés des années 1960 aux années 1980 (dont une partie sont des professionnels et des intermédiaires culturels dans le domaine du manga – libraires, éditeurs, journalistes, etc.), ainsi que sur l’étude d’un corpus de discours médiatiques (presse professionnelle et fanzines, archives audiovisuelles et numériques). Il procédera en deux temps pour analyser les discours médiatiques, les jugements de valeur et les mobilisations que la réception française des mangas a mis en jeu. Il s’agira d’abord de restituer la temporalité, les supports médiatiques et les registres discursifs de ces prises de position alarmistes, puis d’envisager les propriétés des « entrepreneurs de morale » qui font perdurer ces inquiétudes publiques au cours des années 1980 et 1990, leurs ressources et les effets de leur action dans les arènes médiatique, politique, judiciaire et administrative. Une deuxième partie s’attachera aux « contre-discours » et aux mobilisations de collectifs d’amateurs de manga et de professionnels de l’édition et du journalisme spécialisé, ainsi qu’aux formes de régulation morale qu’ils mettent en œuvre de manière routinisée.

Kurdish Costume in Kurdiologist Sources
Authors: Mustafa Sozan
Published: June 2022

Costume is part of any nation’s civilization and it is one of the distinctive features of any nation and its culture. Costumes are a distinctive feature of national identities of any nation. Kurds as one of the ancient nations in this region were able to preserve their identity despite the eradication or obliteration attempts by other nations and were able to preserve their cultural Costume. Kurdish history records tend to concentrate more on the political status of Kurds rather than their cultural history, however, Kurdologists documented different aspects of Kurdish society, including traditional Kurdish costume in their historical records and their memos. These records are considered authentic and valuable resources for Kurdish history and it also provides an exclusive insight into Kurdish rich and independent culture from the surrounding nations that attempted to obliterate and sideline unique Kurdish culture. Hence, studying the Kurdish costume from the Kurdiologists perspective is crucial to understand the history of Kurdish people. This study attempts to shed lights on the traditional and historical Kurdish costume.

The Relationship of Grain Size to Nickel Grade at Saprolite Zone of Lateritic Nickel Deposite in Moronopo Site, East Halmahera Regency, North Maluku
Authors: Winarno Tri , Ali Rinal Khaidar , Komala Resa
Published: June 2022

The research was conducted at the Dinding A and Dinding B, Moronopo Site PT Antam Tbk, East Halmahera, North Maluku which is a block that has been opened for the mining process. Generally the stratigraphy of laterite nickel deposits, from top (young) to bottom (old) consists of overburden, limonite, saprolite and bedrock. The saprolite zone is an economical ore layer for Ni content. This research aims to determine the relationship between grain size of ore and the mineralogy and economical Ni content. The research methods used include the grain size fractionation method with sizes of -5 cm, +5 cm, +10 cm, +15 cm, +20 cm and +25 cm, and XRF analysis to determine the Ni content. The result of this study shows the rocks in the saprolite zone containing minerals such as olivine, serpentine, garnierite and chrysoprase. The XRF analysis result shows the highest Ni content is found in the finest grain fraction (-5 cm) i.e. 2.4% and the lowest Ni content found in the coarsest grain fraction (+25 cm) i.e. 1.87 % but  is still classified as economic.
Characterization of rabbit polyclonal antibody against camel recombinant nanobodies
Authors: Khalaf Houssam-Eddin , Al-Bouqaee Hassan , Hwijeh Manal , Abbady Abdul Qader
Published: June 2022

Nanobodies (Nbs) are recombinant single-domain fragments derived from camelids’ heavy-chain antibodies (HCAbs). Nanobodies are increasingly used in numerous biotechnological and medical applications because of their high stability, solubility, and yield. However, one major obstacle prohibiting Nb expansion is the affordability of specific detector antibodies for their final revelation. In this work, the production of a specific anti-Nb antibody as a general detector for camel antibodies, conventional cIgG, and HCAb, and their derived Nbs was sought. Thus, a T7 promoter plasmid was constructed and used to highly express six different Nbs that were used in a successful rabbit immunization. Affinity-purified rabbit anti-Nb rIgG was able to detect immobilized or antigen-bound Nbs via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and its performance was comparable to that of a commercial anti-6× His antibody. Its capacities in dosing impure Nbs, detecting Nbs displayed on M13 phages, and revealing denatured Nbs in immune blotting were all proven. As expected, and because of shared epitopes, rabbit anti-Nb cross-reacted with cIgG, HCAbs, and 6× His-tagged proteins, and the percentage of each fraction within anti-Nb rIgG was determined. Anti-Nb is a promising tool for the checkpoints throughout the recombinant Nb technology.
Rhotics, /uː/, and diphthongization in New Braunfels German
Authors: Warmuth Matthias
Published: June 2022

This paper investigates the status of rhotics, /uː/, and the diphthongization of /eː/ and /oː/ in New Braunfels German, a variety of Texas German, a set of moribund dialects spoken in Texas. Boas, Hans C. (2009a.The life and death of Texas German. Durham: Duke University Press: 158) notes that “retroflex /ɻ/ appears … [mainly] in borrowed words.” He further assumes that New Braunfels German “differs from other German American dialects such as Pennsylvania German and Wisconsin German in that English sounds almost never appear in native German words” (160). The results discussed here indicate that this statement no longer holds true. Today, perceptual analysis and phonological measurements of Texas German Dialect Project data reveal that both American English retroflex approximants and diphthongs [eɪ] and [oʊ] appear frequently. Moreover, /uː/ is sometimes centralized/fronted with short/mid-long quality. Language attrition and language death, two mutually reinforcing variables, appear as the driving forces for these phenomena.
Mammalian social memory relies on neuromodulation in the olfactory bulb
Authors: Suyama Hajime , Egger Veronica , Lukas Michael
Published: June 2022

In this review, we aim to integrate our recent findings on the vasopressin system and its role in social discrimination with other known neuromodulatory mechanisms in the olfactory bulb that are involved in different experimental models of social memory. Behavioral paradigms commonly used to investigate odor-related social memory are individual social memory in rodents, lamb recognition in sheep, and the Bruce effect in female mice. All three cases involve neuromodulation in the main and/or the accessory olfactory bulb, the first centers for olfactory processing. As a large diversity of neuromodulators participate in social memory formation, here, we focus primarily on shared neuromodulatory systems and their physiological effects, in particular, the social neuropeptides, vasopressin and oxytocin, and the arousal-related modulators, acetylcholine and noradrenaline.
Nanotherapeutics for hydrogen sulfide-involved treatment: An emerging approach for cancer therapy
Authors: Fan Xiaoyu , Fei Weidong , Zhang Meng , Yang Shan , Zhao Mengdan , Zheng Caihong
Published: June 2022

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), as the third gasotransmitter, plays important roles in promoting the growth, proliferation, and metastasis of cancer cells. Recently, emerging nanotherapeutics have been developed for cancer therapy by regulating the H2S concentration at tumor sites. The action of H2S in cancer therapy can be demonstrated by a bell-shaped dose-response curve. In addition to the H2S donation from gas therapy, reducing the level of intratumoral H2S can also exert an antitumor effect by disturbing the redox balance of tumor cells. On top of that, the integration of nanotechnology further enhances the diversity of H2S-involved cancer treatments. As a result, phototherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and ultrasonic therapy can all be realized by designing nanotherapeutics based on the physicochemical properties of H2S. Furthermore, the active/passive targeting effects and onsite H2S-regulating ability of nanotherapeutics greatly improve the safety of treatment. To track the development and promote the clinical transformation of H2S-involved nanotherapeutics, this review introduced the antitumor-related properties of H2S gas and the evolution of H2S-involved cancer therapy. Then, we discussed the design concepts and mechanisms of H2S-involved nanotherapeutics in depth. Finally, the future expectations and challenges were spotlighted in the concept of translational medicine.

Published: June 2022

In this study, concerning the advantages of rhenium-188 over other therapeutic radionuclides, such as its stock availability from 188W/188Re generator and radiolabeled peptide therapy in the treatment of patients with widespread disease, preparation and quality control of 188Re-HYNIC-TOC were studied. Optimized conditions for radiolabeling of HYNIC-TOC with 188Re were assessed by several experiments. 188Re-HYNIC-TOC was prepared with radiochemical purity >97%. The radiolabelled compound showed high stability both in PBS buffer and in human serum even after 24 h. Biodistribution of the complex in male Wistar rats was examined up to 24 h after intravenous injection and indicated fast blood clearance and significant accumulation in the kidney. The radiation absorbed dose assessment resource (RADAR) method was used to estimate the equivalent and effective absorbed dose of human organs. Kidney received the absorbed dose of 0.72 mSv/MBq, the highest estimated amount, after injection of the complex. The results showed fast preparation, easy quality control, and relatively similar biodistribution of 188Re-HYNIC-TOC to other peptides. This complex can be considered as an agent for the treatment of patients with medium-sized tumors expressing somatostatin receptors. However, more biological studies are still needed.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Expressed emotion (EE) is a global index of attitudes, emotions, and behaviors of relatives who have family members with a mental or psychiatric disorder. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to study EE in relatives and patients’ perceived EE in a borderline personality disorder (BPD) outpatient sample. Methods: The sample was composed of 134 relatives and 111 BPD outpatients who were receiving psychological treatment. Relevant clinical outcomes, number of medical visits, EE in relatives and perceived EE in BPD patients were measured. Subsequently, descriptive statistical analyses, dependent-samples t tests, and correlation analyses were performed. Results: Relatives' EE was not significantly different than patients' perceived EE. Expressed emotion factors were weakly associated to emergency department visits and hospital admissions. Discussion: Contrary to EE studies in other diagnoses, results show that the BPD patients' emotional climate in their proximate relationships might not influence health care use.
Client-Rated Working Alliance Quality Relates to Perceptions of Therapists as Trustworthy Experts, Rather Than to Therapists' Positive Nonverbal Behavior

Published: June 2022

Introduction: The present study sought a better understanding of the sources of client-perceived quality of the working alliance. Methods: At the end of psychotherapy sessions 3 and 5, 60 outpatient clients completed the Working Alliance Inventory-client form (WAI-c) and the Counselor Rating Form (CRF) measuring perceived therapists’ social power. At the same time, therapists estimated their clients’ WAI-c ratings (WAI-c-t). Also, frequency/duration of seven video-recorded positive nonverbal therapist behaviors in session 3 were coded. Results: WAI-c correlations with CRF were high (rs = .62 and .81) and WAI-c-moderate was (rs = .33 and .49). Nonverbal therapist codes, jointly (p = .64) and separately (ρs ≤ .14), were unrelated to WAI-c ratings, with the exception of Forward lean frequency (ρ = .29). Discussion: Client-perceived quality of the working alliance relates to therapists coming across as attractive, skilled, and trustworthy rather than to their actual positive nonverbal behavior.
Declining Maternally-Derived Measles Antibodies in Infants and Nursing Mothers in Nigeria: A Review

Published: June 2022

Measles, also reffered to as rubeolais an endemic respiratory disease caused by a virus. It is a highly contagious infection which typically begins with a mild to moderate fever, often accompanied by a persistent cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis and sore throat. Today, despite the availability of a safe, effective and relatively inexpensive vaccine for more than 40 years, measles still kills more than any other vaccines preventable disease among children. In Pregnant women, IgG immunoglobulin antibody is produced and crosses the placenta to developing fetus’ blood circulation; thereby conferring primary protection against infections in the early life of newborns. The presence or absence of Maternal Measles Antibody (MMA) in infants is therefore a factor to be considered in immunization of infants against measles. In Nigeria, the recommended age for routine measles vaccination for infants is at 9 month of age. However, it has been severely reported that the present-day civilized mothers are more measles vaccine-immuned contrary to been natural measles virus-immuned and as such, produce low titer anti-measles virus antibody which consequently decays or clears from their respective infants earlier than 9 months of age when measles vaccine is routinely administered. Early immunization against measles may potentially minimize the duration of the period between the loss of maternal antibodies transferred via the placenta and the administration of the recommended measles vaccination for infants, hence the need for the re-evaluation of the measles immunization schedule. Keywords: Vaccination; Maternal Measles Antibody; Infant, Virus;
On The Nature of Autoimmune Diseases And How Emotions Influence the Immune System
Authors: Kuman Maria
Published: June 2022

Basic question in the case of autoimmune diseases is: What turned the immune system against itself? It couldn’t have happen without reason. Somebody turned the immune system against itself not to be bothered. Who was so smart to do this? Among all the creatures inhabiting our body, you would never expect the smallest creatures to have done this smart thing – the candida, simply called yeast. There are more than 81 types of candida, of which a large number live in the intestines of your body. They are invisible with the naked eye and could be seen only under a microscope. How small creatures like this can be so smart? They live in colonies and they have collective mind. They live in symbiosis with the parasites, which means they mutually benefit from each other. This also means that you cannot get rid of the candida unless you make a serious effort to get rid of both of them.

What should be done and what can be done in all the fields covered by AIDS: clinical, treatment, diagnosis, virology, nursing care, drug use, sexuality, prevention, epidemiology, social aspects, and even economics. The female condom probably will not be the definitive solution, as the male condom was not and how microbicides will not be, but a group of women will be useful and sure that the practice will improve its use. With respect to the novelties in the prevention among drug users, the heroin dispensing programs that, following the Swiss model, have started in Andalusia stand out. There are also heroin injection rooms. So far there was only one in Madrid and the positive results have meant that the opening of another room in Bilbao is planned.
Scope and Opportunities of Real Estate Study and Business in Bangladesh
Authors: Zayed Nurul Mohammad
Published: June 2022

Real estate is the property, land, buildings, air rights above the land and underground rights below the land. The term real estate means real, or physical, property. There are four types of real estate such as residential real estate, commercial real estate, industrial real estate and land. Real Estate Business or Real Estate Development is a business activity concerned with land and construction that provides value-adding services by developing residential, commercial, institutional, industrial and integrated projects and related infrastructure. The demand for apartment housing remained high, and more and more developers came into business. Soon the need for a trade association was realized in order to strengthen the role of the real estate sector and to ensure ethical practice in construction. In 1991 the Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh (REHAB) was formed with only 11 members. (Benson, 2012).
Guided Self Learning

Published: June 2022

In our days of Artificial Intelligence, smartphones and all Internet of Things that provide us with myriads of connected objects at a very early age, education has to be transformed to integrate the searching power these means of communications, in fact first of all means of exploration-incorporation, provide every single individual in our society. They have become the main means of development for masseducation in a knowledge society. I will at first start from the mental architecture of a learner and move to the fundamental transference phenomena that command the motivation of a learner and a selflearner has to live on his own motivation. Then I will move to the role and responsibility of the Conceptor-Designer of a batch of selflearning work based on the choice expressed by the Self-Learner, from the resources provided or suggested by the batch to the tasks to be fulfilled. Everything is hegemonies by the type of needs and activities the learner will have to face and assume in his future professional field. The Self-Learner will have to target what is in his “zone of proximal development” to be most effective. That will lead us to the triadic guided self-learning situation centered on the Self-Learner but with the guidance from the Conceptor-Designer on one side and the real professional world represented by the Coach-Counterpart-Partner- Doppelganger that accompanies the Self-learner in his voyage on the other side. The Internet, in its present development, is the real toolbox the Self-Learner has at the tip of his fingers constantly. That will lead us to the Boolean logic of the Internet that has to be understood and dominated by the Self-Learner, at times against the interests of the search-engine the Self-Learner uses. I will end with one particular batch – called a triad – of self-learning work proposed in Fall 2018 to the CEO of a medical startup, which will bring the type of contract that can be signed by the company and the Conceptor-Designer who only sells Intellectual Property to the company.

The Impact of Familiar Local Language Medium of Instruction on Zambian Primary School Pupils' Academic Performance: A Case Study of Mumbwa Primary Schools
Authors: Machinyise Elliot
Published: June 2022

As multiethnic and multilingual nation, Zambia has more than 70 languages spoken within its boundaries. As result of this linguistic landscape the selection of appropriate language of instruction in schools has been a challenge for a long time. In order to meet this linguistic diversity, Zambia has developed an educational framework which stipulates that familiar local languages should be used as the Medium of Instruction (MOI) from grade one to four in public primary schools. Therefore, this paper investigated the impact of mother tongue medium of instruction on pupils’ quality of learning in Zambian primary schools. The findings have revealed that the students’ ethnicity and national identity are best portrayed through mother tongue medium of instruction. In addition, acquisition of skills and application seems to be efficient in classes where such skills are taught and explained in the mother tongue of children. It has also been revealed that children in private schools where practical subjects are taught in English perform poorer than their counterparts in public schools. A descriptive method of research was used for the collection of data. 50 teachers from selected public and private primary schools and 10 parents of Mumbwa district were selected for this study. Appropriate recommendations were made in light of the findings. The study will provide further information on how local community and parents can work with schools in facilitating the teaching of children in local languages. The recommendations the study brought up will bridge the gap between the teacher training institutions and the teaching service commission in order to train and deploy teachers according to the needs of schools. This study will bring to the fore the necessity of equipping teachers with the knowledge of local language of children whilst at teacher training institutions.

Quantification Methods of Construction Claims in the Audit Process: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Prasetyo Ricki , Fatima Eliza
Published: June 2022

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the quantification method of construction claims (QMCC) used in the audit process based on the damage theory framework. An accurate quantification of claims is essentially needed to avoid construction disputes. However, earlier studies are still vague in shed light on applying the most appropriate QMCC to quantify the claims that arise from a vari- ation order (VO).Method: We conduct a case study using a mixed-methods approach. Surveys were given to 39 audi- tors at various levels (team, supervisor, and coordinator) to obtain auditors’ perceptions about the relevance of the assessment criteria according to the damage theory. We analyzed the data quantita- tively using non-parametric test Kruskal-Wallis/Mann-Whitney. Furthermore, in-depth interviews were conducted to 6 auditors and 2 related parties to identify the QMCC that conforms with the damage theory. Transcripts were analyzed qualitatively using theme analysis.Finding: There is similarities in the auditors’ perception in accepting the assessment criteria accord- ing to the damage theory. Quantification of claims in the audit process requires supporting evidence and causal link. In this study, we proposed three methods that can be applied using an estimated value approach.Novelty: The QMCCs proposed have novelty in terms of contractual aspects, causality, and support- ing evidence as a basis for analysis to eliminate opportunistic behavior from the parties.

Purpose: This research aims to review the relationship of the board of commissioners, the ownership concentration, the audit committee meetings, and the risk management committee with enterprise risk management disclosure moderated by the company size.Method: The population for this study was 46 banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2017 to 2019. The sample selection was carried out using the purposive sampling technique which resulted in 39 companies with 117 analytical units performed using documentation techniques. Data were analyzed using moderating regression analysis based on Ordinary Least Square (OLS).Findings: The outcome of this research showed that the board of commissioners and audit committee meetings had a positive effect on the enterprise risk management disclosure while the ownership concentration and risk management committee did not affect the enterprise risk management disclosure. The company size can moderate the influence of the board of commissioners and audit committee meetings but is not able to moderate the influence of the ownership concentration and risk management committee. The findings prove companies that have a good board of commissioners and a competent audit committee can trigger companies to disclose enterprise risk management broadly.Novelty: This study adds company size as moderating variable. Based on the investment concept, namely high-risk high return, and low-risk low return. When the company wants to get big returns, the company will face big risks as well. This is directly proportional to companies with large sizes. The bigger company so the higher the risks faced by the company. This is also related to the disclosure of the risks.

Published: June 2022

AbstractPurpose: This study aimed to determine the ability of quality control to moderate the relationship between time pressure, locus of control, and professional skepticism of auditors. Method: The population included auditors in the city of Semarang, Indonesia. Data were collected using questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents with only 78 returned while the hypotheses were tested through the use of multiple regression methods.Findings: The results showed two hypotheses, the first and third, were not accepted. This, therefore, means time pressure does not affect professional skepticism and there was no moderating effect of quality control on this relationship. The remaining two hypotheses, second and fourth, were accepted. This indicates there was an influence of external locus of control on professional skepticism and quality control was able to moderate this effect.Novelty: The research’s originality was the use of Professional Skepticism variable which is made up of ethical dilemmas, knowledge and experience gap, deadline pressure, auditor characteristic, and feedback. However, several situational factors like the quality control are usually adopted in a public accounting firm as a moderating variable to improve the direct effect of certain determinants on professional skepticism Keywords: Professional skepticism, Time pressure, Locus of Control, Quality Control

Authors: Jonathan Harry , Budiharsana Meiwita
Published: June 2022

Traumatic neuroma is a non-neoplastic overgrowth of axons and Schwann cells at the proximal site of nerve disruption as a form of thwarted axonal regeneration. It is growing from a severed, partially resected, or injured nerve as a result of trauma or surgery. Traumatic neuroma of the hand is a rare disorder; it was first reported in the medical literature as early as 1811 when Odier described “nerve tumors” which develop at the site of nerve transaction. We reported a twenty-two-year old male patient suffered from a traumatic neuroma of the hand due to basketball injury, who diagnosed by clinical examination and plain X-ray. The patient was treated by surgical excision of the neuroma, and patients could return to competitive sport on the fourth months after surgical treatment.
