Authors: Shamsudin Adriana , Ali Khan Mohd Noor Azli , Jusoh Ahmad
Published: February 2025

Digital transformation is reshaping all sectors with the rapid emergence of new technologies that have garnered significant attention in recent years, and the accounting profession is no exception to this paradigm shift. The profession, however, has been slower in adopting emerging technologies due to practitioners' lack of awareness of the latest advancements, a shortage of technology-accounting experts, and concerns about the quality of financial reports generated using these technologies. Emphasizing the benefits and applications of these technologies is crucial for helping accountants and auditors understand better their potential to improve daily tasks and workflows. Therefore, this study aims to explore the evolution of digital usage in the accounting profession while investigating various technological advancements and their advantages and practical applications. The findings revealed the progression of digital usage in the accounting profession, tracing key milestones from the Pre-Computer Era to the introduction of computers, the emergence of the internet and ultimately to IR 4.0, which has driven the advancement of emerging technologies such as big data, AI, RPA, blockchain, XBRL and cloud-based software. The researcher also highlights the practical uses of these technologies, which include estimation and valuation, analysis and management, automation, integration and accessibility, control and updates and authentication. The results are hoped to inspire industry players to embrace new technologies and provide top management with valuable insights for making well-informed decisions about technology selection and investment.

Published: February 2025

The current business environment is characterized by significant volatility and unpredictability due to technological breakthroughs, political dynamics and societal changes. These dynamics significantly affect both large corporations and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). In the current dynamic business environment, SMEs face numerous issues requiring resilience for survival and success. Key challenges SMEs face include insufficient financial resources, lack of skilled personnel and inadequate technological infrastructure. For SMEs to remain resilient, employers and employees must reach a certain technological competence and expertise. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between digital capabilities and resilience of Malaysian small and medium practices (SMPs) as the impact of digital skills on the survival of the accounting sector is rarely studied. A total of 255 owners and managers of accounting firms registered in the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) database participated in the online survey. The results show a positive and moderate correlation between small accounting firms' resilience and digital capabilities' characteristics (human, collaborative, innovative and technological skills). The existence of small accounting firms in Malaysia depends primarily on their innovation capabilities. The findings suggest that digital capabilities are essential for the resilience of small accounting firms as they not only facilitate survival but also encourage development and innovation in times of crisis. It also transforms accountants' workflows and improves their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, accuracy and competitiveness. This finding implies that it is crucial for SMEs, to invest in digital capabilities to survive but also to remain competitive and growth potential during periods of disruption.

The appointment of senior civil officials (SCO) to boards of directors of publicly traded firms, which distinguishes Malaysia from other countries, has prompted questions regarding SCO's credibility as the board of directors. The study's goal is to investigate the impact of network governance as depicted by senior civil officials from the audit committee (SCOAC) on audit prices. The theoretical foundation is based on social network theory and network governance. Quantitative methods will be used with data from publicly traded companies' annual reports in Bursa Malaysia. The study's findings are likely to add to the existing literature on network governance, SCOAC, and audit pricing. Furthermore, the study's findings are expected to serve as a useful reference for regulatory authorities as they draft and evaluate related policies. This will be the first study to present empirical evidence on the relationship between SCOAC and audit pricing in Malaysian public listed companies.
A Conceptual Analysis of the Relationship Between Environmental Strategy and Financial Performance
Authors: Abdullah Mazliza Azuana , Zahira Rusli Arina Rus
Published: February 2025

The resource-based view (RBV) is emerging as the dominant paradigm for comprehending the interaction between strategic management and the natural environment. Based on the RBV perspective, effective environmental strategies require more resources and capabilities. Firms with more resources can build environmental capabilities more easily as it allows them to invest in technological leadership and gain a competitive advantage. In addition, companies that actively integrate the environment into their business strategies possess sustainable competitive advantages. This paper outlines the concept to investigate the correlation between environmental strategies and financial performance. From the RBV's perspective, environmental strategies are valuable, rare, difficult to imitate, and capable of enhancing firms’ competitive advantage and financial performance. Consequently, firms that adopt environmental policies are poised to elevate their image and reputation among stakeholders, customers, and shareholders, augmenting their competitive advantage and performance. This study's findings are expected to enhance the literature on corporate environmental strategies by offering additional information regarding the impact of applying such strategies on financial success. The findings of this study are also anticipated to encourage corporations to adopt environmentally friendly practices

Authors: Milenkovic Bojan , Bilanovic Miljan , Timotijevic Sladjan , Tatic Miroslav , Kolak Djordje
Published: February 2025

Introduction. Joint dislocation is the loss of congruence of the joint
surfaces. This is a relatively common injury of the musculoskeletal injury.
Among the large joints, shoulder joint dislocation has the highest incidence
of 24/100,000/year, of which 94-97% are anterior, 1% are inferior, and the
remaining injuries are posterior shoulder dislocations. The second most
frequent injury is elbow dislocation, with an incidence of 5.2/100,000/year.
Among these, over 80% are posterolateral dislocations. Case outline. A
57-year-old female patient was injured during an accidental same-level fall
sustaining isolated injuries - anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint
and a posterolateral dislocation of the elbow joint. Upon sustaining the
described injuries, she was treated conservatively with good functional
results. Conclusion. A review of the literature reveals that the
combination of ipsilateral shoulder and elbow joint dislocations is a rare
injury, with shoulder dislocation often being overlooked. Proper anamnesis,
along with a thorough examination of the joints both proximally and
distally to the injured joint, is crucial. If performed adequately, these
injuries can often be successfully managed nonoperatively, with closed
reduction, immobilization, and rehabilitation, leading to satisfactory
functional recovery.

Authors: Mufti Wahyu Fitrianda , Nesti Lisa , Viarani Suci Oktri
Published: February 2025

The great potential of fishery resources in the Indian Ocean can be optimally utilized by the community of West Sumatra if adequate fishery infrastructure is available. The development of this infrastructure should ideally synergize with the outputs and outcomes of previous coastal area development programs in West Sumatra. One initial step to create this synergy is to analyze the conditions of the capture fisheries and the available infrastructure in the coastal areas, namely fisheries facilities and infrastructures, as well as the capture fisheries area development programs. This research utilized data and information obtained from field observations, interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), questionnaire surveys, and secondary data from government agencies. The readiness of the area was assessed by the index of infrastructure availability relative to the infrastructure needs for the planned targets. The analysis concludes that the availability of fisheries facilities and infrastructures had a moderate category status, respectively 63% and 72%. Among several types of facilities, some still need to be constructed, such as clean water supply and ice factories to maintain the quality of fish.

Study on evaluation the technical state of dams, the impact on ichthyofauna, socioeconomic benefits, and the results of cost–benefit analyses was performed in 2021–2022. A list of dams whose demolition would improve the ecological state of rivers and have the least negative impact from a socioeconomic point of view was compiled. A more detailed analysis of demolition/reconstruction possibilities was performed for the 15 dams with the highest position in the list. Analysed under two scenarios. Scenario No. 1 – the pond is drained, the existing surplus water fall spillway is demolished, and part of the sludge accumulated in the pond is removed; compensatory measure – a bridge is installed at the culvert place and a small water pond (for recreation) is formed. Scenario No. 2 – the pond is not drained, the existing dam/ surplus water fall spillway is repaired, and a new fish pass is installed. A guide screen or fish barrier is installed. Costs for implementing scenario No. 2 were obtained higher than according to scenario No. 1 in 5 out of 15 investigated objects, while in the remaining 10 it was the opposite. The total costs mainly depend on total area of ponds (important for calculation amount of sludge removal (for implementing scenario No. 1 and 2)), costs for demolition (scenario No. 1) or repairing of existing hydraulic structures (scenario No. 2) and costs for installing compensatory measures (scenario No. 1) or fish pass (scenario No. 2).

Teaching Would-Be Interpreters to Work with Register in Translation Depending on a Discourse and Target Public
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Babenko O.
Published: February 2025

Creolized media-content and its world-wide penetration may trigger register hardships with young interpreters. Due to some familiarity and anonymous background of numerous In­ternet sites (containing memes, blogs, publics) along with the possible lack of sufficient analytical information perception, our students cannot distinguish the difference between styles and switch from informal communication style (f.i., some small talk at fourchettes) to elevated diplomacy-oriented (at some inter­national science conference). The superfluousness of interactive playful content may frequently launch style misunderstanding as key to many language situations. A set of exercises and trans­lation contests may become a profound stylistic drill-ground for our would-be colleagues’ motivation and ability to feel speech registers and quickly alter them if necessary.

Authors: Al-Shalchy Ali K. , Bani-Saad Ali A. , Badran Saif Anmar , Bani Saad Mohammed , Algabri Mostafa H. , Ismail Mustafa
Published: February 2025

Background

Rare arterial abnormalities known as intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms (IOOAAs) present considerable difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. To effectively manage these uncommon illnesses, sophisticated diagnostic methods and meticulous treatment planning are needed. The purpose of this study is to thoroughly examine the clinical manifestations, diagnostic techniques, therapeutic modalities, and results of IOOAAs.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, utilizing the PubMed and Scopus databases. The search terms included “ophthalmic artery,” “aneurysm,” “intraorbital,” and “orbit.” Studies were considered if they included patients with clinically confirmed IOOAAs and were published in English. The data collected encompassed patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, clinical presentations, diagnostic imaging techniques, treatment methods, and outcomes.

Results

An analysis was conducted on fifteen studies involving fifteen patients with an average age of 46.4 years. Females constituted 40% of the study population. The most common symptom presented was loss of vision, which was seen in 93.3% of cases, while proptosis was found in 46.7% and pain in 40%. Aneurysms were found more on the right side, 66.7%, and varied in size and morphology; saccular aneurysms constituted 33.3% of the total number of aneurysms, while fusiform constituted 20%. The availability of advanced imaging techniques, especially angiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography scans, considerably improved the diagnosis rate. Treatment approaches included surgery in 46.7% of the total number of patients, conservative treatment in 33.3%, and endovascular treatment in 20%. The outcome from these managements was variable, with complete resolution of symptoms seen in 33.3% of patients and partial improvement in 40%. The average time of follow-up and observation was 11.18 months.

Conclusion

Ophthalmic artery aneurysms within the intraorbital compartment are rare yet present formidable challenges for their diagnosis and management. Accurate localization of the aneurysm requires the use of very advanced imaging techniques. In this regard, high-resolution MRI and computed tomography angiography play a pivotal role in the detection of these anomalies within the complex structures of the eye. Proper planning of therapy that better suits the condition and proper follow-up care is important for the best outcomes. Future research should focus on guideline standardization in management and long-term outcome improvements.

Authors: Rathore Monika , Singh Aresh Vikram
Published: February 2025

The Porath’s method was used for preparation of Guar gum 4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-Benzene disulphonic acid (GDHBDSA) resin. The parent polymer guar gum was extracted from the seeds of Leguminosae plant Cyamopsis tetragonolobus which is a galactomannan. The GDHBDSA resin was characterized by FT-IR spectra, elemental analysis, pH titration, density, moisture contents, ion exchange capacity and Scanning electron microscopy.

The distribution coefficients (Kd) values of various toxic metal ions i.e. Ni(II) and Cd(II) were estimated by Atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The batch method was used for separation of toxic metal ions from aqueous solution.

Introduction : Le manque de compétences à poser un jugement clinique infirmier (JCI) conduit souvent à des résultats négatifs pour les personnes en raison de l'incapacité à reconnaître la détérioration clinique, à intervenir et à gérer les complications de la personne soignée. Cette recherche suggère que l’introduction d’un modèle de jugement clinique infirmier (JCI) associé à sa grille d’évaluation dans l’apprentissage donne un cadre aux étudiants infirmiers pour fournir des soins infirmiers avec de résultats de santé optimaux. Méthode : Cette contribution présente le protocole d’une étude quasi-expérimentale avec une série de quatre mesures sur un même groupe. Un échantillon de commodité de 162 étudiants infirmiers d’un institut de formation en soins infirmiers français a participé à l'étude. Les participants ont suivi deux cours sur un semestre dans lesquels le modèle de JCI apparié à une théorie infirmière a été utilisé pour analyser des études de cas cliniques. Au cours du semestre, chaque participant a réalisé quatre auto-évaluations de son niveau d’apprentissage en JCI à l’aide de la grille de LCJR-VF. Résultats attendus : Les retombées attendues de cette étude suggèrent qu’un modèle formel d’enseignement en raisonnement clinique apparié à du savoir infirmier facilite l’apprentissage du jugement clinique infirmier.

Introduction : La satisfaction des patients vis-à-vis des services de santé a maintes fois prouvé son importance. De plus en plus d’établissements hospitaliers ont intégré la mesure systématique de la qualité de l’accueil au travers d’enquêtes. Ces dernières ont pour objectif d’améliorer la performance des structures hospitalières. Méthode : Dans ce cadre, une étude descriptive a été menée pour évaluer la qualité de l’accueil des patients hospitalisés au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Libreville et à l’Hôpital d’Instruction des Armées Omar BONGO ONDIMBA. Les données, recueillies au moyen d’un questionnaire, ont été analysées avec le logiciel Epi Info 7.2.5.0. Résultat : Au total, 283 patients ont accepté de participer à l’étude, avec un âge moyen de 36,7 ans. L’insatisfaction globale a atteint 60,77 %. Les principales sources d’insatisfaction identifiées étaient : l’absence d’identification claire du personnel (55,5 %), le manque d’informations sur le fonctionnement du service (63,6 %), ainsi que l’absence de possibilité de choisir une personne de confiance (52,7 %). Discussion : Au vu de ces résultats, nous recommandons la mise en place de formations spécifiques sur l’accueil et la relation soignant-soigné, visant à améliorer la communication, à garantir le respect des patients, à répondre à leurs besoins avec empathie et compassion, et à porter une attention continue à leurs attentes, depuis l’accueil jusqu’à leur hospitalisation.

Two-dimensional transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, known as MXenes, are of interest as electrocatalysts. Tungsten- (W) based MXenes are predicted to have low overpotentials in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), however, their synthesis has proven difficult due to the calculated instability of its hypothetical MAX precursors. In this study, we present a theory-guided synthesis of a W-based MXene, W2TiC2Tx, derived from a non-MAX nanolaminated ternary carbide (W,Ti)4C4-y precursor by the selective etching of one of the covalently bonded tungsten layers. Our results indicate the importance of W and Ti ordering, the presence of vacancy defects in the metal layers, and lack of oxygen impurities in the carbon layers for the successful selective etching of the precursor. We confirm the atomistic out-of-plane ordering of W and Ti using computational and experimental characterizations. The W-rich basal plane endows W2TiC2Tx MXene with high electrocatalytic HER performance (overpotential ~144 mV at 10 mA/cm2). This study reports a W-based MXene synthesized from a covalently bonded non-MAX precursor, adding to the synthetic strategies for 2D materials.

(DYRK1A) plays a key role in various diseases, including DYRK1A syndrome, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), making it a compelling therapeutic target. This work integrates multiple Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods, including predictive models and generative algorithms, to design non-toxic DYRK1A inhibitors. A dual-target drug discovery framework is constructed by combining AI-driven approaches with classical techniques. An ensemble Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) model predicts compound affinities, while Directed Message Passing Neural Networks (DMPNN) assess toxicity. In the generative phase, a Hierarchical Graph Generation (HGG) model facilitates the design of potential inhibitors, which are further refined through docking studies, synthesized, and experimentally validated. This approach led to the identification of the pyrazolyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine 1 as a potent DYRK1A inhibitor, prompting the synthesis of a novel derivative series. Enzymatic assays confirmed nanomolar-level inhibitory activity, while ORAC assays and LPS-induced pro-inflammatory response evaluations in BV2 microglial cells demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Overall, these compounds exhibit strong DYRK1A inhibition alongside promising pharmacological effects.
AutoSIM: Redesigning and automating umbrella sampling for biomolecular conformational transitions
Authors: Das Mitradip , Venkatramani Ravindra
Published: February 2025

Umbrella sampling (US) is a widely used biased simulation technique to generate projections of free energy surfaces (FES) of chemical and biomolecular processes along a reaction coordinate (RC). US results are sensitive to the choice and discretization of the RC along which bias is applied as well as simulation lengths. Furthermore, the combination and comparison of FES slices from multiple US runs remains poorly understood. Here, we address these issues through a redefined US scheme based on recent statistical insights in sampling equilibration and convergence of RCs. The scheme is implemented in an algorithm—AutoSIM—that automates US runs based on a non-equilibrated molecular dynamics (MD) trajectory initiated in the native state basin. AutoSIM can generate FES sections associated with functional conformational transitions in biomolecules independent of apriori information on RCs or even the final end state. We validate AutoSIM by comparing FES projections for alanine dipeptide and ubiquitin along the top Principal Components with those from brute-force unbiased simulations. Additionally, we apply AutoSIM to capture the energetics for large scale conformational transitions of HIV-1 protease between open and closed forms of the enzyme.
