Determinants of Audit Report Lags of Public Companies in Indonesia
Authors: Annisa Agre Regita , Febrianto Rahmat
Published: September 2023

The Indonesian Financial Service Authority (FSA) mandates that every listed company submit its financial reports by the end of the fourth month following the end of the financial year. When COVID-19 struck the world in 2020, the FSA extended the reporting deadline until the end of May. This policy was implemented to account for delays caused by COVID-19. This research aims to determine the factors associated with audit report lags and ensure the timeliness of financial reporting. This research is categorized as descriptive verification research. The descriptive method employed in this study aims to elucidate the determinants of audit report lags. The verification research aspect involves conducting hypothesis tests to examine the relationship between profitability, leverage, the size of Public  Accounting firms, and audit opinions on audit report lags. Our research was conducted to gather empirical evidence regarding the relationship between profitability, leverage, the size of accounting firms, and audit opinions on audit report lag. This research contributes to maintaining the relevance of the information contained in financial reports. The test results indicate that profitability positively correlates significantly with audit report lags. Companies audited by the Big Four firms have shorter audit durations compared to non-Big Four firms.Additionally, companies with standard audit opinions experience shorter audit durations than those with non-standard audit opinions. Leverage was found to have no significant correlation with audit report lags. Our findings suggest that smaller firms tend to delay their reports. However, they are published as soon as possible when audited by a reputable accounting firm and receive a standard audit opinion. The COVID-19 pandemic may have prompted our sample companies to postpone their reports. Future studies should consider the pandemic's impact on audit report lag.

Variational approximations for selecting hierarchical models of circular data in a small area estimation application
Authors: Hernandez-Stumpfhauser Daniel , Breidt F. Jay , Opsomer Jean D.
Published: September 2023

We consider hierarchical regression models for circular data using the projected normal distribution, applied in the development of weights for the Access Point Angler Intercept Survey, a recreational angling survey conducted by the US National Marine Fisheries Service. Weighted estimates of recreational fish catch are used in stock assessments and fisheries regulation. The construction of the survey weights requires the distribution of daily departure times of anglers from fishing sites, within spatio-temporal domains subdivided by the mode of fishing. Because many of these domains have small sample sizes, small area estimation methods are developed. Bayesian inference for the circular distributions on the 24-hour clock is conducted, based on a large set of observed daily departure times from another National Marine Fisheries Service study, the Coastal Household Telephone Survey. A novel variational/Laplace approximation to the posterior distribution allows fast comparison of a large number of models in this context, by dramatically speeding up computations relative to the fast Markov Chain Monte Carlo method while giving virtually identical results.
Recomendações sobre vigilância alimentar e nutricional infantil em protocolos da atenção básica: um estudo documental
Authors: Souza Cintia  Aparecida de , Palombo Claudia Nery Teixeira , Fujimori Elizabeth
Published: September 2023

A vigilância alimentar e nutricional possibilita conhecer e monitorar o estado nutricional e o consumo alimentar das crianças ao longo do tempo e os protocolos de uso mostram-se como instrumentos valiosos para nortear essas ações na atenção básica. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar recomendações sobre vigilância alimentar e nutricional para o atendimento de crianças menores de dois anos em protocolos da atenção básica. Trata-se de uma análise documental desenvolvida em três etapas: 1)levantamento dos documentos; 2)seleção e organização; 3)análise e categorização do conteúdo. Para análise, utilizou-se como base teórica o Marco de Referência da Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional da Atenção Básica, com as seguintes categorias: aleitamento materno, alimentação complementar e avaliação do crescimento. Em todo o Brasil, identificou-se apenas 32 documentos, dos quais 24 foram incluídos para análise. Desses, metade era da região sudeste, com maior publicação entre 2016-2020. Quanto às categorias, todas foram abordadas nos documentos avaliados; outras condições relacionadas à vigilância alimentar e nutricional foram identificadas em cerca de 70% das publicações (distúrbios nutricionais, suplementação vitamínica e agravos comuns na infância). Constata-se que os protocolos da atenção básica de todas as regiões brasileiras incluem recomendações sobre a vigilância alimentar e nutricional de acordo com o Ministério da Saúde. No entanto, é necessário maior número de publicações para contemplar a grande extensão territorial e a diversidade brasileira com vistas a orientar a prática do cuidado e promover a saúde integral da criança.

Assessment of Knowledge and Attitude of Health Care Workers Regarding Continuous Professional Development Programs, Alexandria, Egypt
Authors: Soliman Hossam Mohamed Hassan , Goma Mohamed Khamis , Soliman Mohamed Hossam , Fawzi Ahmed Khalil , Hassan Wesal Youssef
Published: September 2023

Continuous Professional Development (CPD) refers to the educational pursuits that professionals make after completing their basic education and continues throughout their professional working lives in order to improve their knowledge, proficiency, and personal skills. CPD programs are crucial for enhancing the abilities of healthcare professionals and allowing them to provide patients with better care. However, few studies have discussed on this issue in Egypt. We conducted the current study to assess the knowledge and attitude of health care workers regarding CPD programs in a tertiary care hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Sporting Tertiary Care Hospital, Alexandria after the acceptance from Ethical Committee. The data were collected by interviewing questionnaire from a purposive sample of thirty-two healthcare workers who are representative of stakeholder groups to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding continuous professional programs. The questionnaire consists of three divisions, the first one is concerned with personal data, second one covers the knowledge assessment, and the last one embraces the attitude evaluation section. The study lasted 3 months. Data were analyzed by using a suitable statistical software. We found that majority of the participants had good knowledge level (96.9%) and strongly positive attitude (75%) regarding CPD programs. In conclusion, the study findings demonstrated a significant level of knowledge and attitude of the participants regarding continuous professional programs which opens the way for further research that assess the implementation and standardization of CPD programs in the future.
The Role of Innate Immunity against Mycobacterium Leprae: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Putra Reza Agustiantwo
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Innate immunity is the body's defense system that exists from birth and is the body's first defense against infection. This system involves multiple defense mechanisms that work together to recognize, deter, and respond to pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In the context of Mycobacterium leprae, the role of the innate immune system is very important because this bacterium has unique pathogenic properties and is capable of infecting human body cells in complex ways.
Methods: The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding the role of innate immunity against Mycobacterium leprae. This study follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) recommendations.
Results: One of the main aspects of the role of the innate immune system against Mycobacterium leprae is the recognition of this pathogen by phagocytic cells, such as macrophages. Mycobacterium leprae evades recognition and destruction by these cells in a number of ways, including cell surface modification of the immune response.
Conclusion: The innate immunity response plays a significant role in the response to Mycobacterium leprae infection. Innate immunity acts as an initial and fast response to mitigate the Mycobacterium leprae infection from getting more massive.

Published: September 2023

This work is a part of our ongoing research project entitled Hindustani Raga Analysis Using Statistical Musicology with Therapeutic Applications for Stress Management. Using the perceived stress scale (PSS), baseline data were collected on 28 participants, 14 for the control group (non-music intervention group) and the remaining 14 for the case group (music intervention group), the allotment of a participant to one of the groups being done using randomized control trial (RCT) to prevent bias in allocation. After 5 music therapy sessions, the follow-up data were collected and the scores (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) were filled for the 10 questions in the questionnaire of the PSS scale. The rating is 0–13 implying low stress, 14–26 implying moderate stress and 27–40 implying high stress. As per the PSS rule, those having stress levels below 13 were dropped from the study. Thus, the actual number of participants in both groups would be less than those interviewed (sample size n = 7 for each group). Using paired t test, it is found that the case group participants have shown considerable improvement in comparison to the control group. Thus, the efficacy of music intervention in combatting stress is established.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) defines pregnancy anemia as hemoglobin levels of less than 11 grams or less than 33% at any time in pregnancy that considers hemodilution that normally occurs in pregnancy where hemoglobin levels are less than 11 grams in the first trimester (Proverawati, 2018). Analytic descriptive research method, with a cross sectional study approach. The study population was 78 and the sample was 42 respondents with simple accidental sampling technique. Statistical test using chi- square test. Research results: There is a relationship between knowledge about factors that affect the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the work area of the Belo Health Center which is shown by the majority of respondents' knowledge, namely lack of knowledge as many as 33 respondents (80.5%) and shown by the age of respondents who are at risk as many as 31 respondents (75.6%) and, shown by the age of pregnancy as much as 26 respondents (63.4%), shown by parity as much as 26 respondents (63, 4%), indicated by work as most of them do not work, namely 33 respondents (80.5%), indicated by the status of SEZs as most of them are SEZ as many as 29 respondents (70.7%), indicated by education as most of them have junior high school education, namely 17 respondents (41.5%), Based on the chi-square test, it is found that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge, age of pregnant women, education, parity, occupation, pregnancy age, SEZ status, and the status of anemia incidence in the Belo Health Center working area in 2021. So it is necessary to conduct counseling by the Belo Health Center about the importance of preventing anemia to increase the level of knowledge in pregnant women and it is necessary to hold anemia understanding education, especially in dealing with the status of anemia incidence in pregnant women.

Abonman sigorta sözleşmeleri, sigortalanan menfaatin sözleşmenin akdedilmesi anında henüz mevcut olmadığı sözleşmelerdir. Bu sözleşmeler, uygulamadaki ihtiyaca göre sıklıkla akdedilmekte olan sözleşmelerdir. Bu ihtiyaç doğrultusunda sigorta konusu menfaat somutlaştığında sigorta ettirenin yapacağı bildirimle sigorta himayesi ortaya çıkmaktadır. Sigorta himayesinin sonradan somutlaşan menfaate göre geçerli olması Türk Ticaret Kanunu’ndaki bazı kurallarla uyumlu değildir. TTK m. 1408 hükmü, sigorta konusu menfaatin sözleşmenin başlangıcında mevcut olmamasını geçersizliğe bağlamıştır. Fakat, abonman sigorta sözleşmelerinde de sigorta konusu menfaat sözleşmenin akdedilmesi anında yoktur. Bu durum, abonman sigorta sözleşmelerinin Türk Ticaret Kanunu’nun getirdiği ilkeler doğrultusunda geçerli olarak akdedilemeyeceği düşüncesini yaratmaktadır. Abonman sigorta sözleşmeleri ise uygulamada sıklıkla akdedilmekte, bu sözleşmelerden kaynaklanan uyuşmazlıklar da yargı kararlarına konu olmaktadır.

Abonman sigorta sözleşmeleriyle ilgili bu çelişki, öğretide de dikkat çekmiştir. Bu konuyla ilgili yapılan çalışmalarda ortak nokta, abonman sigorta sözleşmelerinin bir düzenlemeye kavuşturulması gerektiği yönündedir. Bunun dışında, konuyu ele alan yazarların kısmen örtüşen ve bazı hususlarda da birbirini dışlamayan farklı çözümler getirdiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, öğretideki görüşler ve yargı kararlarına da temas etmek suretiyle bir değerlendirme yapılacak ve konuya dair bir çözüm önerisi sunulacaktır.

Purpose: The overall incidence of central precocious puberty (CPP) has increased in recent decades, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluations are recommended in cases of suspected brain lesions. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of MRI abnormalities and to evaluate the need for routine brain MRI in patients with newly diagnosed CPP.Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the data of patients newly diagnosed with CPP who underwent routine pituitary MRI at Korea University Anam Hospital from March 2020 to September 2021. A total of 199 girls and 24 boys was enrolled in this study. Positive MRI findings were categorized as abnormal pituitary, nonpituitary incidental, and pathological. In addition, we investigated the incidence of MRI abnormalities and evaluated their associations with clinical and biochemical factors.Results: Positive brain MRI findings were observed in 84 patients (37.7%). Pituitary abnormalities were found in 54 patients (24.2%), with Rathke cleft cysts being the most common (16.1%). Incidental nonpituitary findings were observed in 29 patients (13.0%), while a pathological brain lesion (diagnosed as hypothalamic hamartoma) was observed in only 1 female patient (0.4%). No significant differences in sex or age were found in incidence of pituitary abnormalities or nonpituitary incidental findings. Compared with headache controls, significant associations were observed between abnormal pituitary findings on MRI and CPP (unadjusted odds ratio, 3.979; 95% confidence interval, 1.726–9.173).Conclusion: True pathological findings were rare, even though the prevalence of abnormalities on pituitary MRI in patients with CPP was relatively high. Considering its cost-effectiveness, MRI screenings should be carefully considered in patients with CPP.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: Type 1 diabetes mellitus, which is the most common type of diabetes among children, is not curable but can be managed well without a negative effect on quality of life. One of the treatments of type 1 diabetes mellitus is carbohydrate counting. This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to evaluate the efficacy of carbohydrate counting with regard to hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reduction in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.Methods: Nine studies were assessed, with the primary outcome being glycemic control (HbA1c changes). We searched the following electronic databases: ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. The quality of studies included was assessed using the risk of bias for randomized control trials and the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for observational and cross-sectional studies. Quantitative analyses were made and extrapolated into a forest plot.Results: A total of 1,693 articles were identified. Four reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts. Of the 36 articles screened, 34 articles were found to be eligible. Of these, 25 studies were excluded because of unsuitable outcomes and study designs. Nine articles were included in the final analysis. Meta-analysis showed that there was a reduction in HbA1c in the carbohydrate counting group as compared to the control group. The cumulative effect of carbohydrate counting on HbA1c was a mean difference of -0.55 (95% confidence interval, -0.81 to -0.28, P<0.001). All of the studies exhibited similar results with the mean difference reduction favoring the interventional group. However, the heterogeneity analysis revealed an I2 value of 88%, implying high heterogeneity in the meta-analysis.Conclusion: The meta-analysis showed evidence favoring the use of carbohydrate counting in the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Authors: Yuan Ding
Published: September 2023

In today's global social background, higher education is faced with the important task of cultivating students' comprehensive quality and cross-cultural communication ability. In this context, the general courses of literature in colleges and universities play a key role, aiming at cultivating students' understanding and appreciation of literature, as well as their cognition and respect for different cultures. Traditional literature teaching methods have some limitations in meeting this task, ignoring the importance of regional cultural factors. This paper discusses the importance and benefits of the integration of literature general courses and regional cultural factors in colleges and universities. To achieve this integration, it is suggested to introduce regional literary works, explore the historical background and social environment of regional culture, cooperate with local communities and cultural organizations, and use multimedia and interactive resources to enhance the learning experience. It is important to cultivate students' comprehensive literacy and cultural awareness, and it is necessary to further study this field and continuously develop innovative teaching methods in the future.
