Authors: Al-Taee Salowan Hafadh Hamed , Flayyih Hakeem Hammood
Published: February 2023

This paper analysed the effect of electronic internal auditing (EIA) based on the Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies (COBIT) framework. Organisations must implement an up-to-date accounting information system (AIS) capable of meeting their auditing requirements. Electronic audit risk (compliance assessment, control assurance, and risk assessment) is a development by Weidenmier and Ramamoorti (2006) to improve AIS. In order to fulfil the study’s objectives, a questionnaire was prepared and distributed to a sample comprising 120 employees. The employees were financial managers, internal auditors, and workers involved in the company’s information security departments in the General Company for Electricity Distribution (GCBED) of Baghdad, owned by the Iraqi federal government. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was employed to analyse the data and hypotheses. The study concluded that there is a substantial effect on the performance of EIA depending on the COBIT framework in reducing electronic audit risk in GCBED. According to the findings, additional research should be undertaken to improve efficiency, accounting control efficiency, and asset protection programs to lessen audit risk.

Efficiency of using environmentally harmful inputs in field crop production in Bulgaria
Authors:   Agricultural University-Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Mitseva Yordanka
Published: February 2023

There is a long-standing issue relating environmental to economic goals of agricultural production systems. An attempt to examine all possible aspects of this relationship is highly challenging and beyond the scope of the study. To gain insights into simultaneously improving the economic and ecological performance of the field crop farms, the research is focused on measuring the efficiency of using production inputs that have a large environmental impact. The paper investigates different field crop production regions in Bulgaria from 2014 to 2020 in an attempt to identify regional disparities. Such an investigation could help in consolidating policy measures addressing agro-environmental issues. By employing a mathematical programming approach (DEA method) on public data from the Farm Accounting Data Network and applying a non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test over the obtained scores, no significant difference in the efficiency of using environmentally harmful inputs between six field crop production regions in Bulgaria is found. Regarding this finding and the Common Agricultural Policy strategies, recommendations for further research are proposed.
An overview of no-till technology in the concept of conservation agriculture

This review article summarises some of the most important terms and definitions of the vocabulary used in conservation agriculture (CA) and no-till technology (NT). It also presents the concepts and foundation principle of CA. The article cites selected sources with detailed historical notes and a chronological narrative about the development of the concept of conservational agriculture, machinery, devices and techniques that no-till technology applies. Due to the vastness of CA as a subject, the current review deals very briefly with some of the topics such as economic benefit, weed control, cover crop and crop rotation, use of herbicides. The availability of controversial results about no-till does not allow any final conclusion about the feasibility of that technology. It could be expected that on different soils, in different geographical conditions, depending on the machinery used and the combination of particular elements of the technology, the outcome of its adoption is highly probable to be different. Despite this variability in technology adoption, in cases of no significant reduction in crop yield, the application of technology seems worthy due to the ecological benefits which it provides. However, there is another important consideration that should be taken into account in NT adoption - any expectations for quick revenue should not be considered feasible because ecological sustainability could only be achieved in a long-term application of CA and NT.

In this paper, we prove that all but one of the components of the transfer digraph D? m needed for the enumeration of 2-factors in the rectangular, thick cylinder and Moebius strip grid graphs of the fixed width m (m ? N) are bipartite digraphs and that their orders could be expressed in term of binomial coefficients. In addition, we prove that the set of vertices of each component consists of all the binary m-words for which the difference of numbers of zeros in odd and even positions is constant.
The “Dacian” silver hoards from Moesia superior. Transdanubian cultural connections in the iron gates region from Augustus to Trajan
Authors: Rustoiu Aurel
Published: February 2023

The aim of this paper is to discuss some aspects concerning the ?Tekija-Bare hoards horizon?: their ?Dacian? origin, their significance, and the manner in which this phenomenon emerged after the practice of burying assemblages of silver body ornaments had ceased to the north of the Danube one or two generations earlier. The so-called Tekija-Bare group of hoards originates from the northern Danubian hoards containing silver body ornaments. This is demonstrated by the typology of some silver costume accessories and the tradition of burying them together with silver coins and metal or ceramic vessels. The appearance of these hoards south along the Danube in the second half of the 1st century AD was the result of the revival of some northern Danubian ritual practices. This revival can be ascribed to the ?Getae? who were moved to the south of the river by Aelius Catus at the beginning of the 1st century AD and were later known as Moesi, according to Strabo (VII.3.10). The displacement of a large number of people, including entire communities, resulted in the transfer of a number of ritual practices and beliefs from one territory to another. However, these were transformed and adapted according to the new social conditions from Roman Moesia.
Can Running through Chrono-Nutrition Help Prevent Diabesity?
Authors: Nikkhah Akbar
Published: February 2023

This perspective article aimed to develop and propose a question if running through chrono-nutrition can help prevent diabetes and obesity (diabesity) by optimizing circadian rhythms of glucose metabolism. With the advancing mechanization, eating behavior (timing, sequence, and frequency) has significantly changed. People are now more willing to eat fast foods at suboptimal times of the circadian period. Growing evidence suggests that untimely eating and lack of adequate exercise can interfere with optimal physiological rhythms of glucose and insulin metabolism that can lead to diabesity. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a foremost metabolic disorder worldwide occurring largely due to suboptimal eating timing and lifestyle. Consuming less sugars and carbohydrates during evening and overnight may help optimize human chrono-physiology. Chrononutrition via optimizing the timing of meals is a growing science that needs to be well elucidated and practiced to help prevent or possibly reduce risks of T2D and obesity in today’s complicated life.
Microbiome and Metagenome Signatures: The Potential Toolkit for Futuristic Forensic Investigations
Authors: Fatima Mubeen
Published: February 2023

Advancements in genome sequencing technologies, improvements in microbial sampling methods and recent approaches in bioinformatics have driven the rise in microbiomics and metagenomics. Diverse ranges of microbial communities are hosted by human bodies which interact with its environment and cause change in it. Human and environmental microbial profiles can be extracted and analyzed to get information of these interactions and they are likely to be applicable in forensics. In this review we explain microbiome and metagenomics with emphasis on its application in forensics and for identification purposes, and factors affecting the microbiome diversity in the light of previous studies. No doubt this field is still in its beginning but the use of microbiomics and metagenomics signature for this purpose has potential to increase the forensic toolkit. Most of time, studies have been affected by sample size limitation and model accuracies which leads to less exploration of the complete potential of microbiomics in forensics. Furthermore, currently the information obtained from microbial forensics is not considered in dubious by the law enforcement agencies. However, extensive research is needed to overcome these challenges to make evidences based on microbiome served to futuristic revolutionary forensic investigations.
First Record of the Kurdish Wheatear Oenanthe xanthoprymna in Lebanon 2022
Authors: Sawan Michel Fahim
Published: February 2023

This species has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size may be moderately small to large, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. On the 1st of April 2022, I was birdwatching on Mount Terbol, Dannieh District in North Lebanon when I noticed an individual catching some insects on a rock in the valley. I took many photos of the bird immediately after I confirmed the ID and reported it and it was accepted to be added officially to the National Birds Checklist in Lebanon.

Orchidaceae belongs to the 84 families of vascular plants that cover species following the epiphytic life pattern. Adaptations are specialized mechanisms that permit a plant or animal to live in a particular area or habitat. Adaptational mechanisms in plant morphology are essential for the transition to an epiphytic canopy habitat. Orchids have specific adaptational mechanisms in the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seed and other physiological processes. Under water scarcity, these orchids have developed pseudobulbs, an energy, water, and nutrient storage bulb for adaptations.A wax coating covering the surface of the leaf, also prevents evaporation and gas exchange in drier or hotter climate.Epiphytic orchids have adequate root systems to enable them to grow in a poor nutrient environment when they grow at slow rate. In such cases, velamen of orchids helps to absorb water and also help to absorb nutrients from rainfall. Orchid roots are adapted to cling to trees. Orchid seeds do not have endosperm and require a fungal association with mycorrhiza to provide its energy till the development of roots and leaves. This symbiotic feature is another adaption to make the orchid seed to travel longer and further distances for survival. In comparison to the activity of C3 photosynthesis, crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in many epiphytes plays a vital role in improving carbon gains and water use. In this review, specialized adaptations of some commercial orchid genera namely Dendrobium, Cymbidium, Phalaenopsis, Cattleya, Oncidium, Epidendrum and Paphiopedilum are discussed in detail.

Elderly is someone who has reached the age of 60 years and over. Stress experienced by the elderly affects life and has an impact on various problems such as difficulty sleeping, discomfort, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. The quality of sleep in the elderly has several aspects such as sleep duration, sleep literacy, and subjective aspects of sleep. In the government program during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Lockdown program was issued, so that the elderly have limited space for movement, are indifferent to others, and fear being exposed to COVID-19. The research objectiveis is determine the relationship between stress and sleep quality in the elderly during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses an analytical observational cross-sectional approach. The sample obtained as many as 111 respondents by means of convenience sampling. This study shows the most stress level is moderate stress (45.9%), most respondents' sleep quality level is good sleep quality (94.6%), the subjective sleep quality level is mostly adequate poor (45.0%), the longest respondent's sleep duration is <5 hours (40.5%), the respondent's sleep latency is at most 31-60 minutes (76.6%), the most respondent's sleep efficiency is >85% (67.6% ), the most respondents' sleep disorders were 10-18 (71.2%), the most respondents' sleep dysfunction was 3-4 (57.7%), the respondents had never used sleeping pills in the last month (92.8%), and there was a significant relationship between stress and sleep quality in the elderly during the Covid-19 pandemic with a p-value = 0.001. There is a significant relationship between stress and sleep quality in the elderly during the Covid-19 pandemic, so it is hoped that the puskesmas such as the person in charge of the elderly at the Senen Subdistrict Health Center will carry out activities or socialization to the elderly regarding improving sleep quality and ways to deal with stress.

Some patients with heart failure do not adequately follow self-care instructions, including a low-salt diet and fluid restriction. This study aimed to determine the effect of education using booklet media on the average score of adherence to a low-salt diet and fluid restriction in heart failure patients. This type of research is quasi-experimental, with the number of respondents as many as 76 people at the Sebelas Maret University Hospital, Surakarta. Data collection used a non-probability sampling method with a purposive sampling technique. The difference in the average score of low-salt diet adherence pretest-posttest in the intervention group used the Wilcoxon sign rank test, the mean value was -5.868 (p = 0.001), and in the control group, the mean was 0.316 with p 0.111. The difference in the average score of adherence to fluid restriction pretest-posttest in the intervention group used the paired sample test, the mean value was -7.289 (p = 0.001), and the control group used the Wilcoxon sign rank test, the mean value was -0.263 (p 0.095). This study concludes that there is an effect of education using booklet media on the average score of adherence to a low salt diet and fluid restriction in the intervention group. There was no difference in the mean score of adherence to a low-salt diet and fluid restriction in the control group. Suggestions for further research are for further researchers to test the instrument's validity for the tool to be used.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world, which has led to numerous deaths. Hence, developing an efficient diagnostic method is essential to monitor and control such deadly infectious diseases. In the current study, the serum levels of four inflammatory markers (CXCL10, CXCL9, suPAR, and MMP9) and the expression NF-κB gene were evaluated as potential immunological markers for diagnosis and prognosis of tuberculosis, using ELISA and qPCR technique respectively. Thirty new TB patients and equal numbers of under treatment TB patients and control (healthy people) were conscripted in this study. The results showed significant differences in the serum level of CXCL10 among the three groups (p value 0.003) and between new and under treatment patients (P value 0.004). A significant difference in the CXCL9 level in the serum was observed between the new TB patients and the healthy group with p value 0.028 but didn’t reach the significant level between the new and under treatment patients.  The serum level of suPAR was higher in new patients (106.59pg/ml) followed by treated patients (89.66pg/ml) and lowest in healthy group (80.71pg/ml) but didn’t reach the significant level. Also, the serum level of MMP-9 did not show a significant difference between the tested groups, but it was slightly higher in new patients (21.45ng/ml) compared to the healthy group (20.70ng/ml). The amount of NF-κB gene expression was significantly higher in new patients (8.21-fold change) than in under treatment patients (2.95-fold change) in comparing with healthy people.

Today, there are several attempts to make nutritious food products low in glycemic carbohydrates as this can partly help in solving the ever-growing numbers of type 2 diabetes and obesity. We thus made two types of jam, one using conventional sucrose with a high glycemic index and the other using honey which is regarded as a low glycemic index carbohydrate.  Honey jam had comparable physical properties with sucrose jam. The total soluble solid (Brix) was significantly lower in honey jam than in sucrose jam (p=0.04) indicating less sugar in honey jam. Both jams had comparatively higher percent moisture content than other jams reported in literature potentially suggesting reduced storage stability. Despite having higher water activity, honey jam had progressive decrease in microbial colony counts suggesting honey was inhibitory to growth of microorganism compared to sucrose jam. This effect was independent of water activity as sucrose jam which had lower water activity promoted growth of microorganism during storage. Therefore, substituting natural honey for sucrose during formulation of tomato jam retards microbial growth thereby prolonging shelf life.

Membentuk keluarga bahagia (sakīnah) tidak semudah membalikkan telapak tangan. Banyak rintangan menghadang, dan dinamika yang mengguncang. Diperlukan pemahaman yang dalam untuk bisa menjalankannya sehingga cita-cita menjadi keluarga bahagia dapat terwujud. Berdasarkan pendekatan normatif, ditemukan konsep keluarga sakīnah dalam Alquran. Setelah ditelusuri, dalam Alquran secara implisit dijelaskan hakikat, visi dan fungsi berkeluarga. Terkonsep dalam Alquran, agar terbentuk keluarga sakīnah, diperlukan etika yang baik oleh anak kepada orang tua, menerapkan prinsip saling menerima, menghargai, mempercayai dan melengkapi, membudayakan berbuat kebaikan, saling memposisikan diri masing-masing, mendidik  keluarga (intelektual, kepribadian dan sosial, akidah dan akhlak), serta menjalin hubungan akrab: menjalin ikatan cinta antara anak dan orang tua (ouderlikemacht).
An Investigation of Language Learning Strategies Used by Female Saudi EFL College Students
Authors: N. Dahmash Mashael
Published: February 2023

Although language learning strategies (LLSs) received considerable amount of attention since 1970s, limited studies have focused on the use of LLSs by ESL students especially EFL students. In order for educators to gain insight into students approach to language learning through the use of LLSs, further research should be conducted about the use of LLSs within various contexts. The current study aims primarily to investigate the LLSs used by Saudi EFL female college students in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and secondly to assess whether any difference exists in terms of LLSs used among students from different universities and university levels. The Strategy Inventory Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire by Oxford (1990b) was used as a research instrument to collect data since it was initially designed to elicit information about LLSs employed by ESL/EFL students. In this study, an adapted version of SILL was used to elicit information about the strategy employed by 145 female Saudi EFL students at three universities. The results showed that the students were in general medium to high users of strategies. The most common strategy was the metacognitive strategy, whereas the least common were the affective and memory strategies. There were no significant differences between LLSs and university levels. The results reflect the students’ awareness to manage their own learning since metacognitive strategies refer to learning language through planning, organizing, monitoring and evaluating (Oxford, 1990b). In addition, the low use of affective strategies is likely to be due to fear of making mistakes and being uncomfortable when using English.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRAKSebagian dari naskah kuno Batak yang ada di Museum Negeri Provinsi Sumatera Utara mengalami kerusakan seperti robek, tulisan tidak terlihat jelas sehingga susah untuk dibaca dan terdapat noda di naskah tersebut karena usianya yang sudah puluhan bahkan ratusan tahun. Naskah kuno Batak tidak akan bertahan lama jika tidak ditangani atau dirawat dengan baik. Oleh sebab itu dibutuhkanya sebuah perawat yang dapat melestarikan naskah kuno Batak dengan jangka yang lebih lama. Salah satu cara untuk melestarikan naskah kuno Batak dan membuat naskah kuno Batak lebih dapat dibaca serta jelas, maka dapat dilakukan dengan cara segmentasi citra. Dengan segmentasi citra, naskah kuno Batak dapat diubah kedalam bentuk naskah kuno Batak citra digital yang dapat disimpan kedalam media penyimpanan. Segmentasi citra yang diterapkan adalah melakukan pemisahan background citra naskah kuno dengan teks naskah kuno Batak kedalam bentuk citra hitam dan puith, sehingga citra naskah kuno Batak yang tidak jelas dapat dibaca lebih baik. Segmentasi citra memerlukan metode, pada penelitian ini metode yang digunakan adalah Otsu Thresholding dengan Median Filter, tahapan metode Otsu Thresholding adalah mengubah citra naskah kuno kedalam citra luminosity grayscale, kemudian mengitung nilai rata-rata dan threshold, sehingga dilakukan pemisahan berdasarkan nilai threshold kemudian dilanjutkan dengan tahapan Median Filter sehingga menghasilkan citra naskah kuno Batak dengan pemisahan antara objek dan background citra. Kata Kunci: Naskah Kuno, Batak, Segmentasi, Citra, Otsu Thresholding, Median

Fenomena kekerasan seksual terhadap anak semakin sering terjadi dan menjadi global hampir di berbagai negara. Kasus kekerasan seksual terhadap anak terus meningkat dari waktu ke waktu. Peningkatan tersebut tidak hanya dari segi kuantitas atau jumlah kasus yang terjadi, bahkan juga dari kualitas. Thailand merupakan salah satu negara dengan jumlah kasus pariwisata seks anak terbesar di dunia. Prostitusi di Thailand bermain peran dalam perekonomian negara. Ironisnya sebagian besar pendapatan nasional Thailand berasal dari sektor pariwisata seks. Persoalan Human Security di Thailand telah menyebabkan turunnya citra negara Thailand akibat banyaknya perspektif dan respon yang buruk mengenai isu kekerasan seksual ini. Adapun penyebabnya yaitu karena sejarah yang turun temurun sejak zaman Ayuthya (1350-1767), masalah ekonomi, budaya masyarakat, tingkat kemiskinan, sehingga kasus kekerasan seksual terhadap anak maupun perempuan di Thailand masih terus berjalan hingga saat ini. Peneliti menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif-analisis yang dimana mengumpulkan berbagai studi kepustakaan, menyusun, menginterpretasikan data, yang kemudian dianalisis untuk mendapatkan data yang valid. Dengan menggunakan konsep Human Security dan Organisasi Internasional untuk menganalisis respon dari United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) yang berada dibawah naungan PBB yang mementingkan berbagai isu terkait hak anak-anak sangat diperlukan dalam membantu pemerintahan Thailand dalam menangani kasus kekerasan anak yang terjadi di Thailand. Kemudian hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan respon dari UNICEF dan melalui beberapa program pengendalian Remote Sexual Assault belum sepenuhnya dapat meminimalisir kekerasan seksual terhadap anak-anak di Thailand.
