Ways to Improve Acupuncture Outcomes in Equine Practice
Authors: Xie Huisheng , Holyoak G. Reed
Published: July 2023

Acupuncture is the most extensively researched modality under the umbrella of both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM). It has been demonstrated that it induces local, segmental, central and autonomic effects, many of which have the potential to strongly decrease nociceptive signals and pain perception. Acupuncture has been used for many equine clinical conditions including lameness and is now a familiar treatment modality to both horse owners and equine veterinary practitioners. This paper will review the main factors that impact clinical results, describe treatment plans for common lameness presentations, and outline several case examples.

Ngerambat Gending: A Composition of Essential Idea of Karawitans Definition | Ngerambat Gending: Sebuah Komposisi dari Ide Esensi Definisi Karawitan
Authors: Sasdicka Pande Kadek Ega , Kariasa I Nyoman
Published: July 2023

There is still a gap of vocal use separators in various Balinese karawitan compositions that develop lately, such as; Sandya gita, Gegitaan and Gegerongan. Karawitan composition "Ngerambat Gending '' presents a new perspective, that is combining the connection between instrumental and consistently. Indirectly without the instrument this artwork cannot be crystallized as well as the opposite without the vocal this work also cannot be realized. The same proportion of work on both instruments and vocals into a whole unit composition, is a "leading" thing in the creation of Bali's karawitan. The goal to be achieved in this work is to actualize an idea based on the essence of the definition of karawitan itself. To materialize this work, the composer combined the process of compiling the work by Pande Made Sukerta with the creation methods of I Wayan Bratha and I Wayan Dibia. Processed from the work of Ngerambat Gending, the composer tries to make connections between instruments with other instruments, instruments with vocals and vocals with vocals which are divided into structures. The “Ngerambat Gending'' karawitan composition  was successfully transformed by using a structure using the names of the musical patterns that the composer made part of the structure into the work itself, such as, gegineman, pengadeng, gegacangan, gegenderan and penyuud.

Hemicellulose-g-PAAc/TiO2 Nanocomposite Hydrogel for Dye Removal
Authors: Li Yudan , Sun Xiao-Feng , Chen Jiayi , Sun Le
Published: July 2023

Dyes pollution on urban environment is of great concern because of the human health hazards associated with this kind of contaminants, and the use of low-cost photocatalytic composite material is an efficient treatment method to minimize the environmental impact. A novel hemicellulose-g-PAAc/TiO2 composite hydrogel was prepared as a promising alternative material for dye removal. Wheat straw hemicellulose and TiO2 nanoparticles were first modified and then incorporated into hydrogel via covalent bonds. Effects of gel dosage, pH, initial concentration and contact time on the adsorption amount of methylene blue were systematically studied using the prepared hydrogel. The equilibrium adsorption data was fitted well to the Freundlich isotherm model, and Langmuir isotherm analysis indicated that the adsorption capacity of the hemicellulose-g-PAAc/TiO2 composite hydrogel was 389.1 mg/g, and adsorption kinetic study showed that the adsorption process can be described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The prepared composite hydrogel exhibited high photodegradation ability for methylene blue under alkaline conditions, and all results indicated that the hemicellulose-g-PAAc/TiO2 composite hydrogel had excellent photocatalytic degradability for dyes, which can be used in practical process.

In this report, we document the models and dimensional traceability of our 2.4 mm coaxial airline standards for performing multiline thru-reflect-line calibrations up to 50 GHz using vector network analyzers. We identify the equations used in our models of the transmission-line standards and present a method for determining a coaxial line's metal conductivity using a closed-form solution relating it to the propagation constant. Next, we provide details of the traceable dimensional measurements and associated uncertainties of our 2.4 mm airline standards. And finally, we describe how our software, the NIST Microwave Uncertainty Framework, is used to implement physical models of calibration standards and propagate these systematic uncertainties to the calibrated scattering-parameters of a device under test. We include a measurement example for illustrative purposes.
CIBERFEMINISMOS PARA EL CAMBIO DE SIGLO. DISCUSIONES CIBERFEMINISTAS ENTRE 1997 Y 2001
Authors: Blanco-Fernández Vítor
Published: July 2023

Entre 1997 y 2001, el colectivo ciberfeminista Old Boys Network (OBN) organizó tres Internacionales Ciberfeministas. El objetivo de este artículo es definir los cambios en el pensamiento ciberfeminista durante este periodo. Para ello, acudo a las tres publicaciones que acompañaron a dichos encuentros. Con un primer análisis cuantitativo localizo los temas fundamentales y su frecuencia. Con un segundo análisis cualitativo, describo el devenir de los debates localizados previamente. Concluyo que, en contra de las aproximaciones históricas previas que dividen el ciberfeminismo en dos olas delimitadas, el ciberfeminismo se desarrolló de manera fluida, proponiendo y escenificando debates fundamentales como la definición del término, su sujeto político, su relación con el feminismo, entre otros. OBN, más que punto de inflexión, fue bisagra entre un primer ciberfeminismo inicial y todas sus posteriores ramificaciones. Sus publicaciones testificaron, también, la creciente preocupación por un internet progresivamente mercantilizado y controlado.

CREADORAS Y NATURALEZA: UNA APROXIMACIÓN AL ECOFEMINISMO EN EL AULA DE HISTORIA DEL ARTE A TRAVÉS DE PINTORAS
Authors: García Sinausía Sandra
Published: July 2023

En los años setenta del pasado siglo XX, periodo en que los movimientos sociales tuvieron un gran auge, surgió el ecofeminismo como punto de encuentro entre el ecologismo y el feminismo. Cincuenta años después, el ecofeminismo está a la orden del día, con una juventud especialmente preocupada por hacer del mundo un lugar más sostenible e implicada en el movimiento feminista. La sociedad exige un cambio, el cual puede y debe conseguirse a través de la educación, especialmente tras la publicación de la nueva legislación educativa española (LOMLOE). A través de obras de arte de creadoras que se encuentran en los museos madrileños, en el siguiente artículo se propone una serie de temáticas para tratar el feminismo y la ecología en las aulas de una manera transversal. Se busca crear un diálogo donde el alumnado se sienta libre para debatir temas como el feminismo y ecología, más allá de los contenidos marcados por la legislación educativa, pero siempre con la ley como base.
LA PASIÓN DE DOS HERMANAS ABOCADAS A LA MUERTE: DE TRISTÁN E ISOLDA A MELANCOLÍA (LARS VON TRIER, 2011)
Authors: González Hortigüela Tecla , Canga Sosa Manuel
Published: July 2023

Es posible que Melancolía (Melancholia, 2011) sea la película más romántica del cineasta danés Lars von Trier, no solo por la gran potencia lírica de sus imágenes, su belleza, nocturnidad y fatalismo, sino también, y especialmente, por presentarse como una paráfrasis posmoderna del viejo mito de Tristán e Isolda, cuya versión operística fue estrenada por Richard Wagner en 1865, marcando a diferentes generaciones de artistas e intelectuales desde entonces. En este artículo proponemos el análisis de una película que ha incorporado fragmentos de otros relatos para escenificar la experiencia de un goce abocado a la muerte, en el contexto de una fantasía de resonancias astronómicas inspirada en la tragedia de los personajes wagnerianos. El análisis textual que proponemos estará basado en los postulados teóricos del psicoanálisis y tendrá como objetivo demostrar que el planeta Melancolía representa mucho más que un astro de órbita impredecible, por centrar el deseo de la protagonista y llevarla hasta el abismo.

"Can You Write it"
Authors: Gudmundsen Jenny
Published: July 2023

This study analyzes how second language and first language speakers of Norwegian recruit assistance with linguistic items in a video-mediated setting by engaging the chat function. Using the method longitudinal conversation analysis to track one dyad, the findings illustrate how the recruitment methods become more conventionalized and fine-tuned over time. The recruiting turns become more specific regarding the repair method, the chat-based activity is less foreshadowed by verbal talk, and accordingly the participants recognize this activity without it being explicated. The study shows how a social practice emerges and develops as part of the participants’ context-specific interactional competence in a video-mediated setting.
Group-13 catalysed protocols for utilisation of CO2 as a sustainable C1 source
Authors:   , Billacura Maria Distressa Genita
Published: July 2023

The research described in this thesis focuses on the preparation of group 13- containing compounds and their application as Lewis acid catalysts. This research is in the context of utilizing CO2 as a renewable C1 feedstock, through the atom-efficient conversion with epoxides/aziridines to form useful cyclic carbonates and cyclic oxazolidinones. Significant progress in the search for efficient catalysts for these conversions has been made over the years, with some highly active aluminium compounds being developed. However, potential gaps in this exploration exist, including the study of other metals from group 13 beyond aluminium that have been investigated in many other fields of chemistry. Notably, there are few reports of boron, indium and gallium-based compounds used as a catalyst for the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides. With aluminium being thoroughly explored this presents motivation for exploring the potential for use of these other group 13 elements. In this work, a series of trimethyl borate compounds with different parasubstitutions on the phenoxy moieties have been prepared. Further to this, boron, gallium and indium complexes containing aminotrisphenolate ligands have been prepared. All these complexes have been tested as potential catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates, and their reactivity investigated. Boron aminotrisphenolate complexes operate by hydrogen-bonding catalysis rather than the expected Lewis acid catalysis due to the incomplete coordination of the aminotrisphenol ligand to the boron. The resulting free phenol acts as a catalyst for the production of cyclic carbonates at relatively elevated catalyst loading. Meanwhile, the trimethyl borate compounds, with a trigonal planar geometry, provide Lewis acid-driven catalysis rather than via a hydrogen bonding interaction. The gallium aminotrisphenolate complex was used as a catalyst for oxazolidinone synthesis, demonstrating the gallium complex's versatile efficiency as a more powerful catalyst than the aluminium congener. The results show that the Ga complex converts aziridines into the corresponding oxazolidinones in high yields at relatively low catalyst loading. Indium complexes bearing aminotrisphenolate and halide ligands are competent catalyst for the cycloaddition of CO2 and epoxides to form cyclic carbonates, with evidence that a coordinated halide can also act as the nucleophile required for the ring-opening step of the mechanism, thus adding more future possibilities to this family of compounds. Finally, modified cellulose fibres, prepared through anchoring of an epoxide to the surface by the Fenton reaction, followed by cycloaddition of CO2 using gallium catalyst have been prepared. These fibres have shown a positive outcome in the search for materials with antibacterial properties. As a final note, the potential cycloaddition of CO2 to episulfide has been briefly studied. This reaction produces an intractable solid product for which it has been unable to fully confirm its structure
LA CONFIANCE DANS LA RELATION D’AIDE : UN DONNÉ OU UNE PRATIQUE D’ACCOMMODEMENT À CONSTRUIRE ?

Published: July 2023

La relation de confiance est appréhendée dans la plupart des champs de pratiques du travail social comme un postulat capital de la relation d’aide. Or, aussi bien du point de vue du sens commun que de celui de la littérature sur le sujet, la confiance ne se présente pas comme un donné, mais comme une pratique d’accommodement à construire et dont il convient d’identifier les déterminants et les conditions de mise en oeuvre. Comment les professionnel(le)s s’y prennent-ils pour construire la relation de confiance avec les usagers et usagères dans leurs champs d’intervention? Cet article présente les résultats d’une recherche qui tente de répondre à cette question dans deux champs du travail social : l’aide aux femmes requérantes d’asile victimes de violence sexuelle et les curatelles d’adultes. Les résultats mettent en évidence des pratiques d’accommodement adoptées par les professionnels et professionnelles interviewés qui sont arrimées aussi bien aux contextes de pratique qu’aux réalités des usagers et usagères. Ces pratiques combinent et s’appuient sur un ensemble de savoirs, savoir-faire et savoir-être permettant l’émergence, la construction et le maintien du lien de confiance.
The “mirroring” method: a case study to enhance the nexus between music performance practice and artistic research in higher music education at European conservatories
Authors: Caruso Giusy
Published: July 2023

After the Bologna Declaration (1999) and the institution of artistic research in music (i.e., PhD in the Arts) in European conservatories, higher music education is facing a revolution. The renewed study program within today’s international music scene is oriented to give students the possibility to be trained and prepared as both professional musicians and/or artist-researchers. Therefore, the current debate at European conservatories is strongly focused on how to activate a nexus between performance practice and artistic research within bachelor’s and master's programmes.
This paper presents and discusses a case study of a workshop in music performance practice integrated in the Research Practice Program at Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. It consists of a series of teaching modules inspired by the mirroring method I developed during my PhD at University Ghent – Institute for Psychoacoustic and Electronic Music (IPEM) - and I implemented, as a postdoctoral artist-researcher, in my teaching at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp (2021-2023). The goal of this method is to assist students in growing up their own artistic identity and trajectory and become professional performers with a possible path on artistic research in music. Students are guided on how to structure music performance practice as a research activity through a systematic documentation, analysis, and dissemination of their own creative process. Outputs can be identified in the improvement of students’ body awareness while playing in relation to score analysis and the achievements of research questions that arise from their reflection in and on their practice. An impact of this approach is retrieved in the elaboration of bachelor’s and master’s theses that can ultimately constitute a bridge for future artistic research proposals.

Cell mechanical properties determine many physiological functions, such as cell fate specification, migration, or circulation through vasculature. Identifying factors that govern the mechanical properties is therefore a subject of great interest. Here we present a mechanomics approach for establishing links between single-cell mechanical phenotype changes and the genes involved in driving them. We combine mechanical characterization of cells across a variety of mouse and human systems with machine learning-based discriminative network analysis of associated transcriptomic profiles to infer a conserved network module of five genes with putative roles in cell mechanics regulation. We validate in silico that the identified gene markers are universal, trustworthy and specific to the mechanical phenotype, and demonstrate experimentally that a selected target,
CAV1
, changes the mechanical phenotype of cells accordingly when silenced or overexpressed. Our data-driven approach paves the way towards engineering cell mechanical properties on demand to explore their impact on physiological and pathological cell functions.

A causal relationship exists among the aging process, organ decay and dis-function, and the occurrence of various diseases including cancer. A genetically engineered mouse model, termed
Eklf
K74R/K74R
or
Eklf
(K74R), carrying mutation on the well-conserved sumoylation site of the hematopoietic transcription factor KLF1/ EKLF has been generated that possesses extended lifespan and healthy characteristics including cancer resistance. We show that the high anti-cancer capability of the
Eklf
(K74R) mice are gender-, age-and genetic background-independent. Significantly, the anti-cancer capability and extended lifespan characteristics of
Eklf
(K74R) mice could be transferred to wild-type mice via transplantation of their bone marrow mononuclear cells. Targeted/global gene expression profiling analysis has identified changes of the expression of specific proteins and cellular pathways in the leukocytes of the
Eklf
(K74R) that are in the directions of anti-cancer and/or anti-aging. This study demonstrates the feasibility of developing a novel hematopoietic/ blood system for long-term anti-cancer and, potentially, for anti-aging.
A statistical framework for quantifying the nuclear export rate of influenza viral mRNAs

Published: July 2023

Influenza A virus acutely transcribes viral mRNAs from the eight segmented viral genome when it infects. The kinetics of viral transcription, nuclear export of viral transcripts, and their potential variation between the eight segments are poorly characterised. Here we introduce a statistical framework for estimating the nuclear export rate of each segment from a snapshot of mRNA
in situ
localisation at a single time point, exploiting the cell-to-cell variation observed by an imaging-based
in situ
transcriptome assay. A mathematical modelling indicated that the relationship between the nuclear ratio and the total count of mRNAs in single cells is dictated by a proxy for the nuclear export rate. Using this model, we showed that the two influenza viral antigens hemagglutinin and neuraminidase were the slowest segments in the nuclear export, suggesting that influenza A virus uses the nuclear retention of viral transcripts to delay the expression of antigenic molecules. Our framework presented in this study can be widely used for investigating the nuclear retention of nascent transcripts produced in a transcription burst.

The rising prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a global health threat that needs to be addressed urgently. Basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor (BATF) is commonly thought to be involved in immunity, but its effect on lipid metabolism is not clear. Here, we investigated the function of BATF in hepatic lipid metabolism. BATF alleviated high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hepatic steatosis and inhibited elevated programmed cell death protein (PD)1 expression induced by HFD. A mechanistic study confirmed that BATF regulated fat accumulation by inhibiting PD1 expression and promoting energy metabolism. PD1 antibodies alleviated hepatic lipid deposition. In conclusion, we identified the regulatory role of BATF in hepatic lipid metabolism and that PD1 is a target for alleviation of NAFLD. This study provides new insights into the relationship between BATF, PD1 and NAFLD.
Governing Professionals Through Discourses of Resilience and Value: A New Legitimation for Ontario Pharmacists
Authors: Mickleborough Timothy , Muzzin Linda , Martimianakis Maria Athina
Published: July 2023

In a neoliberal turn, the government of Ontario cut more than $750 million in funds that were traditionally received by pharmacies through dispensing medication. These funds were replaced with a state-funded program that would reimburse pharmacists for professional services related to patient care. The problem facing professional elites from Ontario pharmacy’s advocacy body was how to govern members of a self-regulating profession to switch subjectivities (identities) from the traditional dispenser of medication to providing patient care for profit. We address a gap in the literature and pose the question, how are the rank and file of allied healthcare professions governed by professional elites to become responsibilized subjects who will adopt state/profession agendas? Using a Foucauldian governmentality framework, our findings reveal that the rank and file are governed by elites through two technologies: resilience and value making possible a new “legitimate” pharmacist subjectivity related to the market and health care sustainability.

Authors: Sandhu Ankit , Gupta Sandeep , Pal Dilip Kumar
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Renal length and volume are important indicators for the presence or progression of disease in urology and nephrology. Estimation of renal volume by Ultrasonography (USG) has clinical utility for the physician, nephrologist, and urologist. Aim: To measure individual renal volume by ultrasonography and determine its relationship with renal function as measured by the Diethylene Triamine Penta-acetic Acid (DTPA) in normal adults. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted on fifty patients who underwent DTPA scans both in Outpatient (OPD) and In-Patient Department in the Department of Urology, of a tertiary care centre from January 2020 to December 2020. All the transplant donors who underwent donor nephrectomy were included in the study. A sonographic assessment was done and the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) was calculated by Technetium (Tc)-154 DTPA. The primary outcome was to determine the relationship between renal volume with renal function in normal adults. The secondary outcome was to measure individual renal parameters sonographically. They were assessed for correlation between renal parameters (mainly renal volume) and DTPA using Pearson’s coefficient. Results: The age range of the subjects was 18-70 years. GFR calculated by DTPA for the right kidney had a better correlation with renal volume (r=0.241) on the right and 0.162 on the left, both with a p-value of 0.001). GFR of the left kidney had a better correlation with left kidney volume (r=0.184) than right kidney volume (r=0.130). No correlation was found between GFR with renal Anteroposterior (AP) dimension, renal width, and renal length. The kidney volume was more significant on the left-side (r=0.351) than on the right kidney (r=0.263). Conclusion: Renal volume correlated well with renal function. Sonographic assessment of renal volume rather than renal length would serve as a tool to evaluate renal status for evaluation and follow-up.

Introduction: Chloroprocaine (ester group) is a preservativefree local anaesthetic which is available as isobaric solution. It is being recently popularised in spinal anaesthesia for its shorter duration of action which plays a significant role in the early ambulation and voiding functions, which is the primary essence in ambulatory surgery. Intrathecal Bupivacaine is the most commonly used drug for its block characteristics, taking into account not only the fast initiation of sensory and motor blockade but also faster sensory and motor regression. Aim: To compare the block characteristics between 1% Chloroprocaine and 0.5% Bupivacaine in patients undergoing perianal surgeries under spinal anaesthesia. Materials and Methods: This randomised, interventional double blinded study was carried out in Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute, Kelambakkam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, from April 2020 to August 2021. The patients were split into two groups of 34 each. Group-1: Patients received 30 mg of 1% Chloroprocaine intrathecally. Group-2: Patients received 10 mg of 0.5% Bupivacaine intrathecally. In both the groups the onset, duration of both sensory and motor blocks, intraoperative haemodynamic, two segment regression time, time to ambulation and micturition, the time to eligibility for discharge from hospital was evaluated. Independent sample t-test, chi-square test and Fisher’s-Exact test were employed to compare the distribution of qualitative variables between the groups. Results: Total of 68 participants 31 (45.6%) males and 37 (54.4%) females), 34 in each group 1 and group 2 were analysed. Both groups contained maximum patients in >45 years age group, 12 (35.2%) in each group. Demographic and anthropometric parameters of patients in both the groups were comparable. Mean time of ambulation after spinal anaesthesia in the Group-1 was 137.65±9.15 minutes and in Group-2 was 193.38±8.14 minutes (p-value <0.05). Mean time taken to return of voiding function the Group-1 was 157.06±16.05 minutes and in Group-2 was 213.53±10.26 minutes (p-value <0.05). Mean time taken for Post-Anaesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS) score >9 in Group-1 was significantly less (165.29±13.59 minutes) than Group-2 (219.41±9.52 minutes). Mean time duration for request of first rescue analgesic in Group-1 was significantly faster (104.71±8.69 minutes) than Group-2 (157.79±8.81 minutes). There was no significant difference in haemodynamic changes between the study groups. Conclusion: Chloroprocaine has proved to be better than bupivacaine. It has proven to provide adequate surgical anaesthesia, it leads to early regression of motor and sensory blocks, faster un-assisted ambulation and micturition. Time to rescue analgesia was earlier in the Group-1 when compared to Group-2.

Published: July 2023

The war in Ukraine and the risk of it spreading to other countries strongly undermined Poles’ sense of security. One recurring phenomenon is attacks in cyberspace. Such attacks are aimed at the critical infrastructure of the state; however, they also target citizens who seek knowledge on the Internet in areas related to defense, but also on ordinary matters that translate into everyday activities and knowledge about the world. The purpose of this article is to present the most important topics that function in cyberspace and are currently the most common targets for hackers. The research problem is, which topics functioning in cyberspace are most often modified so that they become disinformation? The research methods used were literature analysis and a diagnostic survey; the techniques were text analysis and a survey with a questionnaire.

Generally overlooked by consumers, many local leafy vegetables in the Republic of Congo are considered to be part of the rural way of life and “poor man's food”. In order to promote their consumption, this study was carried out to assess the nutrient composition of four leafy vegetables (Amaranthus hybridus L, Basella alba, Solanum nigrum L and Ipomea batatas L).

The leafy vegetables were collected from two markets and two market garden sites. The pH and the contents in moisture, protein, ash, lipids and minerals (Ca, P, Fe and Mg) were determined using standard analytical methods (Association of Official Analytical Chemists).

The results indicate that the four leafy vegetables have a pH of between 6 ± 0.03 and 7 ± 0.04, high moisture content (81.43 ± 0.20 to 94.89 ± 0.12 g/100g FW), high protein content (21.95 ± 0.05 to 32.59 ± 0.07 g/100g FW) and high ash content (13.32 ± 0.05 to 25.78 ± 0.03 g/100g FW). All the vegetables were low in lipids (between 2.73 ± 0.23 and 4.81 ± 0.20 g/100gDW). The investigations also show that the four vegetables studied have high levels of phosphorus (389.27 ± 3.23% to 875.22 ± 3.16 mg/100 g DM), iron (70.29 ± 0.15 to 180.06 ± 1.21 mg/100 g DM), calcium (106.78 ± 3.25 to 3404.57 ± 8.07 mg/100 g DM) and magnesium (679.20 ± 2.25 to 2331.25 ± 3.26 mg/100 g DM). In addition, the vegetables collected at the market garden site of the municipal garden had the best a best Ca/P ratio (2.56 to 4.59).

These findings suggest that these leafy vegetables represent a genuine alternative source of protein and especially micronutrients (iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium) for human nutrition, health and food safety.

A Patchouli is a perennial, erect, branched aromatic herb with fragrant leaves grown in tropical and subtropical regions with warm and humid climate condition. It is cultivated mainly for its essential oil which extracted by steam distillation from the tender parts of the dried leaves and stems using a small amount of oil. Patchouli oil is deep orange to amber in colour and has an exotic, heavy, earthy aroma. The aroma of patchouli oil is usually described as a blend of earthy, woody, sweet, and musky notes.

The objectives of study is an attempt to examine the annual and compound growth rates in the export and import of patchouli oil. The time series data of patchouli oil (export-import) collected through Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India for a period of 2001-22 and was analyzed by using growth model i.e., annual, compound growth rate instability and variation.

The results revealed that compound growth rates (CGRs) of export and import both are statistically significant at 1% probability level. The CGRs of quantity export and value export has 14.26% and 15.47% respectively and in case of import CGRs of quantity import is 22.15% per annum and CGRs of imported value is high i.e.,38.28% per annum. It is found that the import of patchouli oil is much higher than the quantity exported. The significant import of Patchouli oil was observed from countries Indonesia, Singapore, Spain and Switzerland. Since, increase the demand of patchouli oil on both domestic and international markets, there is a significant opportunity to enhance production by expanding the patchouli crop area. It is also necessary to increase cultivation to reduce its import from other countries.

Published: July 2023

Aims: The current study's goal is to investigate how corporate governance impacts audit quality. Study design: utilizing 624 observations from a panel of 78 firms that were listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) over 8 years, from 2012 to 2019. 

Methodology: Regression with panel-corrected standard error (PCSE) was used to correct heteroskedasticity and serial correlation and analyze the data.

Results:  According to the study, board independence and family ownership have a negative impact on audit quality, whereas board size and concentration ownership have a positive impact. On the other hand, the study demonstrates that managerial ownership and the number of women on the board have no impact on the quality of the audit. 

Conclusion: This study is significant because it is up-to-date and provides policymakers with information about the connections between corporate governance structures and audit quality in emerging nations. The fact that it offers insights to managers, researchers, lawmakers, and professional accounting organizations makes it important as well. Few empirical studies have been conducted in the past on the impact of corporate governance on audit quality, and those that have been done mostly focus on developed countries. The current study is also one of the few that has looked into the connection between corporate governance and audit quality in the context of Jordan.
