Equine fetal adrenal, gonadal and placental steroidogenesis
Authors: Legacki Erin L , Ball Barry A , Corbin C Jo , Loux Shavahn C , Scoggin Kirsten E , Stanley Scott D , Conley Alan J
Published: September 2017

Equine fetuses have substantial circulating pregnenolone concentrations and thus have been postulated to provide significant substrate for placental 5α-reduced pregnane production, but the fetal site of pregnenolone synthesis remains unclear. The current studies investigated steroid concentrations in blood, adrenal glands, gonads and placenta from fetuses (4, 6, 9 and 10 months of gestational age (GA)), as well as tissue steroidogenic enzyme transcript levels. Pregnenolone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) were the most abundant steroids in fetal blood, pregnenolone was consistently higher but decreased progressively with GA. Tissue steroid concentrations generally paralleled those in serum with time. Adrenal and gonadal tissue pregnenolone concentrations were similar and 100-fold higher than those in allantochorion. DHEA was far higher in gonads than adrenals and progesterone was higher in adrenals than gonads. Androstenedione decreased with GA in adrenals but not in gonads. Transcript analysis generally supported these data.CYP17A1was higher in fetal gonads than adrenals or allantochorion, andHSD3B1was higher in fetal adrenals and allantochorion than gonads.CYP11A1transcript was also significantly higher in adrenals and gonads than allantochorion andCYP19and SRD5A1 transcripts were higher in allantochorion than either fetal adrenals or gonads. Given these data, and their much greater size, the fetal gonads are the source of DHEA and likely contribute more than fetal adrenal glands to circulating fetal pregnenolone concentrations. LowCYP11A1but highHSD3B1andSRD5A1transcript abundance in allantochorion, and low tissue pregnenolone, suggests that endogenous placental pregnenolone synthesis is low and likely contributes little to equine placental 5α-reduced pregnane secretion.

Published: September 2017

The regulation of female fertility is an important field of rice sexual reproduction research. DNA methylation is an essential epigenetic modification that dynamically regulates gene expression during development processes. However, few reports have described the methylation profiles of female-sterile rice during ovule development. In this study, ovules were continuously acquired from the beginning of megaspore mother cell meiosis until the mature female gametophyte formation period, and global DNA methylation patterns were compared in the ovules of a high-frequency female-sterile line (fsv1) and a wild-type rice line (Gui99) using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS). Profiling of the global DNA methylation revealed hypo-methylation, and 3471 significantly differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were observed in fsv1 ovules compared with Gui99. Based on functional annotation and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of differentially methylated genes (DMGs), we observed more DMGs enriched in cellular component, reproduction regulation, metabolic pathway, and other pathways. In particular, many ovule development genes and plant hormone-related genes showed significantly different methylation patterns in the two rice lines, and these differences may provide important clues for revealing the mechanism of female gametophyte abortion.

HUBUNGAN ANTARA KEBERADAAN GEN MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX CLASS II (MHC-II), KETAHANAN TERHADAP PENYAKIT, DAN PERTUMBUHAN PADA POPULASI IKAN MAS STRAIN RAJADANU
Authors: Ariyanto Didik , Hayuningtyas Erma Primanita , Syahputra Khairul
Published: September 2017

Pengembangan budidaya ikan mas di Indonesia mengalami kendala serius sejak timbulnya penyakit koi herpes virus (KHV) pada tahun 2002. Salah satu pendekatan yang dipakai dalam rangka mengantisipasi penyakit tersebut adalah perbaikan mutu genetik untuk mendapatkan varietas unggul ikan mas tahan KHV melalui seleksi berbantuan marka molekuler (MAS; Marker Assisted selection). Keberadaan gen Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II (MHC-II) diduga berkaitan erat dengan peningkatan daya tahan tubuh ikan mas terhadap penyakit. Di sisi lain, populasi ikan dengan daya tahan terhadap penyakit yang tinggi diduga mempunyai laju pertumbuhan lebih lambat. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui empat hal, yaitu (1) transmisi gen MHC-II dari induk ke anakannya, (2) hubungan antara keberadaan gen MHC-II dengan daya tahan terhadap penyakit, (3) hubungan antara daya tahan terhadap penyakit dengan pertumbuhan, serta (4) pengaruh keberadaan gen MHC-II pada ikan mas terhadap performa benih di lingkungan budidaya. Benih uji diperoleh dari pemijahan induk jantan dan betina ikan mas strain Rajadanu positif MHC-II, serta induk jantan dan betina negatif MHC-II. Analisis gen MHC-II dilakukan menggunakan mesin PCR, analisis daya tahan terhadap penyakit melalui uji tantang secara kohabitasi, dan analisis hubungan daya tahan dengan pertumbuhan dilakukan di kolam air deras di daerah endemik KHV, yaitu di Subang, Jawa Barat selama tiga bulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa populasi ikan mas hasil pemijahan induk jantan dan betina positif MHC-II mempunyai persentase MHC-II sebesar 90%, lebih banyak dibanding populasi hasil pemijahan induk jantan dan betina negatif MHC-II sebesar 40%. Berdasarkan uji tantang, populasi positif MHC-II mempunyai daya tahan terhadap infeksi KHV 8,95% lebih tinggi dibanding populasi negatif MHC-II. Hasil pengujian secara lapang di daerah endemik KHV juga menunjukkan pola hasil yang sama, yaitu populasi positif MHC-II mempunyai sintasan 41,61% lebih baik dibanding populasi negatif MHC-II. Analisis hubungan antara keberadaan gen MHC-II sebagai indikasi ketahanan terhadap penyakit khususnya KHV dengan pertumbuhan di kolam air tenang maupun kolam air deras menunjukkan bahwa populasi ikan mas Rajadanu dengan persentase MHC-II lebih tinggi mempunyai sintasan lebih tinggi tetapi mempunyai laju pertumbuhan lebih lambat.

“Get Off My Internets”: How Anti-Fans Deconstruct Lifestyle Bloggers’ Authenticity Work
Authors: McRae Sarah
Published: September 2017

This paper examines the nature of authenticity labour in personal lifestyle blogging through a case study of travel bloggers. Specifically, it looks at how participants in the blogging anti-fan community Get Off My Internets (GOMI) identify and deconstruct lifestyle bloggers’ efforts to perform an ‘authentic’ persona. Within the broader context of online micro-celebrity, self-branding, and persona, I examine authenticity as a kind of labour that is necessary for lifestyle blogging ‘success,’ where success is measured by metrics like heavy website traffic and brand sponsorships. Lifestyle bloggers perform authenticity partly by narrating the process of cultivating personal authenticity through the ongoing process of selfimprovement towards an idealized goal. This personal authenticity is based on existentialist notions of ‘being true’ to one’s essential nature and personal commitments. In the GOMI community, bloggers’ representations of the inner life are frequently viewed with suspicion, and interpreted as ‘staged,’ and therefore inauthentic, performances of authenticity. Bloggers are also expected to demonstrate a commitment to ethical authenticity, and, subsequently, attempts to monetize their content through sponsorships and affiliate links are viewed with suspicion. Lastly, authenticity work in lifestyle blogging involves emphasizing one’s ordinariness alongside one’s extraordinariness, resulting in what I call ‘aspirational extra/ordinariness.’ By observing trends in how travel bloggers perform authenticity and how anti-fans deconstruct these performances, it becomes apparent that critical publics identify inauthenticity in moments where the constructedness or performedness of authenticity is most apparent, indicating that while micro-celebrities rely on authenticity labour for their popularity, this very labour can detract from a persona’s perceived authenticity when it becomes obvious to publics.
The Persona in Autobiographical Game-Making as a Playful Performance of the Self
Authors: Werning Stefan
Published: September 2017

The paper at hand investigates forms and interpretations of author personae in autobiographical videogames. While, previously, autobiographical modes of expression have only been discussed in a few game-based artworks (Poremba 2007), the availability of free, easy-to-use tools like Twine and Ren’Py gradually affords autobiographical writing as a cultural technique outside of deliberately artistic endeavors. Therefore, the paper considers the creation and distribution of autobiographical games as a playful form of identity politics. For that purpose, a comparative content analysis (cf. e.g. Rössler 2012) of selected autobiographical games will be conducted, taking into account rhetorical and audiovisual elements but focusing on procedural design strategies and “bias” (Bogost 2008, 128). The corpus includes explicitly autobiographical sketches like Gravitation (2008) and Dys4ia (2012), but also cases in which the autobiographical characteristics are only implied like The Average Everyday Adventures of Samantha Browne (2016) as well as less polished, sometimes unfinished vignettes.
This approach will be selectively complemented by a rhetorical analysis of paratextual elements such as developer statements and user comments. Play and games are increasingly recognized as modes of conceptualizing and expressing individual identity (Frissen et al. 2015, 35–36) that are particularly compatible with postmodern sensibilities. Consequently, the focus of the analysis will lie on how the implementation of the author personae as playable characters enable the developers to curate their identity online, both in terms of Moreno’s psychodrama (Moreno 1987) and Foucault’s technologies of the self (Aycock 1995).
Five Dimensions of Online Persona
Authors: Moore Christopher , Barbour Kim , Lee Katja
Published: September 2017

Before Facebook, Twitter, and most of the digital media platforms that now form routine parts of our online lives, Jay Bolter (2000) anticipated that online activities would reshape how we understand and produce identity: a ‘networked self’, he noted, ‘is displacing Cartesian printed self as a cultural paradigm’ (2000, p. 26). The twenty-first century has not only produced a proliferation and mass popularisation of platforms for the production of public digital identities, but also an explosion of scholarship investigating the relationship between such identities and technology. These approaches have mainly focussed on the relations between humans and their networks of other human connections, often neglecting the broader implications of what personas are and might be, and ignoring the rise of the non-human as part of social networks. In this introductory essay, we seek to both trace the work done so far to explore subjectivity and the public presentation of the self via networked technologies, and contribute to these expanding accounts by providing a brief overview of what we consider to be five important dimensions of an online persona. In the following, we identify and explicate the five dimensions of persona as public, mediatised, performative, collective and having intentional value and, while we acknowledge that these dimensions are not exhaustive or complete, they are certainly primary.
Efficacy of Molecular Markers Jnurf13 and AcPms1 for Prediction of Genotypes at the Nuclear Ms Locus in Three Open-pollinated Populations of Onion from North America
Authors: Havey Michael J. , von Kohn Christopher
Published: September 2017

Seed of hybrid onion (Allium cepa L.) is produced using cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). For the most widely used source of onion CMS, male sterility is conditioned by the interaction of male sterile (S) cytoplasm and the homozygous recessive genotype at the nuclear male fertility locus Ms. Because of the biennial generation time of onion, classical crossing and segregation analyses take years to establish cytoplasms and genotypes at Ms. Numerous molecular markers have been developed to distinguish onion cytoplasms and estimate genotypes at Ms. Two nuclear markers (jnurf13 and AcPms1) have been reported to cosegregate with Ms and correctly predict genotypes in commercial breeding lines and diverse onion germplasm; however, these markers were less predictive for open-pollinated (OP) populations from India. We evaluated the efficacy of jnurf13 and AcPms1 to correctly classify genotypes at Ms using 144 random plants from three OP populations of long-day onion from North America. No recombination events were detected between AcPms1 and the Ms locus and three events occurred between jnurf13 and Ms. Our results support either marker as a useful tool to predict genotypes at Ms in North American populations of onion, with AcPms1 being the better of the two.

‘Valencia’ orange trees from groves with 90% infection by Candidatus liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the presumed pathogen for citrus greening or huanglongbing (HLB) disease, were treated with insecticide (I), a nutritional spray (N), and insecticide plus nutritional spray (I + N). Controls (C) were not treated. Fruit were harvested in March to April, 2013, 2014, and 2015, juiced, and the juice was frozen for later chemical analyses. Titratable acidity (TA), soluble solids content (SSC), SSC/TA ratio, many volatiles, flavonoids, and limonoids showed differences because of season, whereas SSC, several volatiles (ethanol, cis-3 hexenol, α-terpinene, ethyl acetate, and acetone), flavonoids (narirutin, vicenin-2, diosmin, nobiletin, heptamethoxy flavone), and limonoids (nomilin and nomilinic acid glucoside) showed differences because of treatment. However, consistent patterns for chemical differences among seasons were not detected. TA tended to be higher in N and C the first two seasons and SSC/TA higher in I and I + N for all seasons (not significant for 2014). Bitter limonoids tended to be higher in I, N or I + N over the seasons. Principal Component Analysis showed that there was a good separation by season overall and for treatment in 2013. In 2014 and 2015, the insecticide treatments (either I or I + N) had the highest sugar and SSC/TA levels and lowest TA levels, although not always significant, as well as higher juice CLas cycle threshold (Ct) levels, indicating lower levels of the pathogen.
An Assessment of Pedotransfer Function Performance for the Estimation of Spatial Variability of Key Soil Hydraulic Properties
Authors: da Silva Alessandra Calegari , Armindo Robson André , Brito Alexsandro dos Santos , Schaap Marcel G.
Published: September 2017

Core Ideas

PTFs have been widely applied in environmental and hydrological watershed studies.

PTFs can simulate the spatial variability of hydraulic functions.

The simulation of hydraulic maps using PTF data should be performed with care.

The reliable applications of soil water dynamics and its spatial variability are very important in hydrological and environmental studies. However, determination of some hydraulic properties requires time and sometimes high costs. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) have been applied as an alternative for the prediction of soil hydraulic properties by working with some easily measurable physical properties. This study examined the performance of the Splintex and Rosetta PTFs for estimating the spatial variability of some soil hydraulic properties such as available water capacity (AWC), field capacity (θfc), permanent wilting point (θpwp), specific water capacity [C(θ)], conductivity [K(θ)], and diffusivity [D(θ)] in a sandy soil from southeastern Brazil. Based on the log‐likelihood, Akaike, and Bayesian information criteria, semivariogram models were fitted and used to krige the assessed variable maps. The results showed the feasibility of using these PTFs to estimate the spatial variability in soil hydraulic properties and functions, which would greatly benefit vadose zone flow and transport modeling. Geostatistical analyses presented similarities in kriged maps of both observed K(θ) and C(θ) data with kriged maps by Rosetta estimates, as well as the kriged map of the observed AWC data with the kriged map by Splintex estimates sometimes revealing the same semivariogram data pattern. Predicted maps of θfc, θpwp, and D(θ) were, however, different from kriged maps of the observed data, showing that this approach should be used carefully. The use of the range parameter from the semivariogram models was efficient to determine the optimal sample density for the studied area.

Authors: Basundoro Purnawan
Published: September 2017

This article aims to explain the politics activities by the villagers in Surabaya at the early of 20th century. The villagers was always considered as the passive people who refused to be involved in a conflict, therefore didn’t do the politic. The historic methodology is taken in this research by referring to the documents from the same century, the newspaper in Surabaya, and also referring to other tertiary resources. The approach chosen is the politic history, a history to describe the struggle of the people to achieve their will. The villagers had various strategy and tactic. As for the villagers who already had the experience of education, even though it was only a basic education, they wrote so many protests in the newspaper related to the decisions of the colonial government which were not in their favour. There was a newspaper in Surabaya managed by the indigenous people at that time, middle scale, and eager to gather all the complaint from the low class society. They also protested directly to the government by using the politic organisation. The formal gathering held by the member of the gemeenteraad, known as “begandring”, was used by the villagers to speak up their aspiration.

This research aimed to make description on alternative way to press terrorism in Indonesia. Some approaches are adopted, especially by the government, to eliminate the terrorists, namely: a firm approach by attacking the terrorists, legal remedy by bringing them before the court and giving punishment. However, such efforts still not able to maximally pressing the terrorism. Terror in Jalan Thamrin Jakarta in the early 2016 showed that terrorism still cannot be pressed. This research aimed to give additional approaches in combating terrorism by using local wisdom. Bali as one of tourist destination in Indonesia, had twice experiences of terrorist attack with many casualties. Bali has a lot of local wisdoms which meanings can be explored. Some of it are menyama braya, mesegeh ritual, okokan arts performance and Tat Twam Asi. Therefore, there are several methods and steps which can be used to press the terrorism by exploring the meanings contained in such local wisdoms. All of that local wisdoms contains the meanings of cooperation, alertness and togetherness. The terrorists are expected to stop their terrorism attack by implementing such local wisdoms.
Analytic evaluation of Coulomb integrals for one, two and three-electron distance operators
Authors: Kristyan Sandor
Published: September 2017

The state of the art for integral evaluation is that analytical solutions to integrals are far more useful than numerical solutions. We evaluate certain integrals analytically that are necessary in some approaches in quantum chemistry. In the title, where R stands for nucleus-electron and r for electron-electron distances, the (n,m)=(0,0) case is trivial, the (n,m)=(1,0) and (0,1) cases are well known, fundamental milestone in integration and widely used in computation chemistry, as well as based on Laplace transformation with integrand exp(-a2t2). The rest of the cases are new and need the other Laplace transformation with integrand exp(-a2t) also, as well as the necessity of a two dimensional version of Boys function comes up in case. These analytic expressions (up to Gaussian function integrand) are useful for manipulation with higher moments of inter-electronic distances, for example in correlation calculations.
CO adsorption on graphite-like ZnO bilayers supported on Cu(111), Ag(111) and Au(111) surfaces
Authors: Tosoni Sergio , Li Cequn , Schlexer Philomena , Pacchioni Gianfranco
Published: September 2017

Graphitic-like ZnO bilayer films deposited on coinage metals, Cu(111), Ag(111), and Au(111) have been studied by density functional theory calculations including dispersion corrections. The scope is to compare on an equal footing the properties of the three systems and in particular the nature of the metal/oxide interface. To this end we have considered the adsorption of a CO probe molecule and the vibrational shifts induced by adsorption on ZnO/Cu(111), ZnO/Ag(111), and ZnO/Au(111) compared to adsorption on the unsupported ZnO bilayer and on the wurtzite ZnO surface. We find that while the interaction of ZnO with Ag and Au supports is dominated by dispersion interactions with little or no charge transfer at the interface, in the case of Cu a moderate electron transfer occurs towards the ZnO bilayer. As a consequence, while the stretching frequency of CO on ZnO/Au is blue-shifted, that on ZnO/Cu is red- shifted compared to free CO. CO on ZnO/Ag is intermediate. In all three cases, however, the ZnO bilayer is almost flat, with a modest rumpling found in the case of Cu as a consequence of the stronger chemical interaction. The results fully explain the CO vibrational shifts of CO on ZnO/Cu(111) [Schott, V. et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 1-6] without implying major distortions in the supported film.
Electrochemical Cell Equipment for Salinity Gradient Power Generation
Authors: Bag Arijit
Published: September 2017

Extraction of electricity from the salinity gradient of sea water-river water interface has drawn the key interest of sustainable energy researchers. Different technologies are in the spot light − such as pressure retarded osmosis, reverse electrodialysis, ionic diode membrane, mixing entropy battery, microbial fuel cell, etc. In the present work, electrochemical cell equipment is used for this purpose. Two different techniques are described − galvanic cell equipment (GCEQ) and concentration cell equipment (CCEQ). It is observed that, the extracted energy density is very high (up to 95 W m−2 ) compared with the other methods of the same kind reported so far. Implementation of these methods is trivial. Thus, we may conclude that present method will fulfill our requirement of sustainable energy resource.

Nos finais da década de oitenta do século passado os modos de representação do funcionamento da empresa estavam postos em causa - o custo é um resultado e não um ponto de partida. Actualmente, a finalidade consiste em recuperar a cadeia de causalidade dos custos para chegar ao cliente como origem de toda a modelização do Inncionamento da empresa. Porém, os defensores de "métodos inovadores" pretendem a presença duma contabilidade à base das causas e da necessária separação entre gestão da performance e o conhecimento dos mesmos custos. Apesar das inovações a nível teórico no meio académico, existe um desfasamento em relação à sua aplicação prática, sendo esta situação mais marcante nos países menos desenvolvidos e periféricos comparativamente com os países de origem das inovações. Em Portugal, por exemplo, observando a escassa implementação dos modelos teóricas na área da Contabilidade de Gestão e dada a estrutura empresarial, onde maioritariamente prevalecem as PME e as micro-empresas, tem perfeita oportunidade a utilização de métodos simples, menos dispendiosos, todavia eficazes, para determinar os custos que permitam a estas empresas elaborar orçamentos e produzir informação fiável, oportuna e em tempo, efectuar uma gestão mais rigorosa e cumprir o objectivo da competitividade.
Curriculum Redesign in Veterinary Medicine: Part II

Published: September 2017

Curricular review is considered a necessary component for growth and enhancement of academic programs and requires time, energy, creativity, and persistence from both faculty and administration. On a larger scale, a comprehensive redesign effort involves forming a dedicated faculty redesign team, developing program learning outcomes, mapping the existing curriculum, and reviewing the curriculum in light of collected stakeholder data. The faculty of the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (TAMU) recently embarked on a comprehensive curriculum redesign effort through partnership with the university's Center for Teaching Excellence. Using a previously developed evidence-based model of program redesign, TAMU created a process for use in veterinary medical education, which is described in detail in the first part of this article series. An additional component of the redesign process that is understated, yet vital for success, is faculty buy-in and support. Without faculty engagement, implementation of data-driven curricular changes stemming from program evaluation may be challenging. This second part of the article series describes the methodology for encouraging faculty engagement through the final steps of the redesign initiative and the lessons learned by TAMU through the redesign process.

Renewing a veterinary curriculum is challenging work and its impact is difficult to measure. Academic leaders are charged with regular review and updating of their curricula, but have few resources available to guide their efforts. Due to the paucity of published veterinary reports, most turn to colleagues at other veterinary schools for insider advice, while a few undertake the task of adapting information from the educational literature to suit the needs of the veterinary profession. In response to this paucity, we proposed a theme issue on curricular renewal and surveyed academic leaders regarding curricular challenges and major renewal efforts underway. We compiled the results of this survey (with respondents from 38 veterinary colleges) as well as publicly available information to create a digest of curricular activities at AAVMC member institutions. This introductory article summarizes the key survey findings, describes the methods used to create the curricular digest, and presents information about key aspects of selected programs. Our overarching research questions were as follows: (1) What was the extent and nature of curricular change at AAVMC-accredited veterinary colleges over the past 5 years? and (2) How are curricula and curricular changes managed at AAVMC accredited veterinary colleges? The appended curricular digests provide selected details of current DVM curricula at participating institutions. Additional articles in this issue report on institutional change efforts in more detail. It is our hope that this issue will help to pave the way for future curricular development, research, and peer-to-peer collaboration.
Using an Online Tutorial to Teach REA Data Modeling in Accounting Information Systems Courses
Authors: SEOW Poh-Sun , Pan Gary
Published: September 2017

Online learning has been gaining widespread adoption due to its success in enhancing student-learning outcomes and improving student academic performance. This paper describes an online tutorial to teach resource-event-agent (REA) data modeling in an undergraduate accounting information systems course. The REA online tutorial reflects a self-study application designed to help students improve their understanding of the REA data model. As such, the tutorial acts as a supplement to lectures by reinforcing the concepts and incorporating practices to assess student understanding. Instructors can access the REA online tutorial at http://smu.sg/rea. An independent survey by the University's Centre for Teaching Excellence found a significant increase in students' perceived knowledge of REA data modeling after using the REA online tutorial compared to their knowledge prior to using the tutorial. Students also rated their overall satisfaction with and the effectiveness of the REA online tutorial as high.
Excel Competency for the Professional Accountant: Advanced Applications, Controls, and Audit Add-ins
Authors: Brown William C. , Pike Byron
Published: September 2017

Personal experience indicates that many accounting students do not understand Excel sufficiently well to master spreadsheet controls required for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption. Students are typically exposed to Excel at various levels of intensity in high school and college, but the exposure is inadequate in the breadth and depth necessary for compliance within the regulatory requirements and professional accounting standards. Some authors are forecasting extensive use of spreadsheets or manual processes to reconcile dual reporting of traditional U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (Difazio and Gannon 2010; Steele 2010). Moreover, error rates of over 90% have been documented in accounting applications using Excel before SOX compliance (Panko 2008). Given this environment, we argue that an Accounting Information Systems (AIS) curriculum can be enhanced by first teaching the functional competency in Excel to students and then integrating such Excel knowledge within the typical AIS coursework that includes The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) standards, SOX, Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBiT), computer assisted audit tools (CAATs), and eXtensible Markup Language (XML). Our adoption of this approach resulted in increased student competency, better teaching evaluations, and more desirable accounting graduates.

As audits and financial information become increasingly complex, computer assisted audit techniques (CAATs) can be used to make audits more effective and efficient. Accounting students embarking on their auditing careers may use CAATs software. Having experience with CAATs and specifically Interactive Data Extraction and Analysis (IDEA) software will help set students apart from their peers. The purpose of this article is to provide a case to help students develop a working knowledge of CAATs software.
Fee Assessment: The Audit Price Tag of Innovative IT Solutions

Published: September 2017

Now in its sixth decade, the field of business information systems continues to advance at an astonishing pace. As information technology (IT) based solutions continue to evolve, they get ever more sophisticated and integral to the operational processes of a company. Investment in information systems (IS) has benefitted companies by facilitating cost savings through implementation of operational efficiencies and adding value through differentiation of offerings and advanced data analysis. IT capabilities have also been credited with the creation of competitive advantage. While business success thrives on innovation and out-of-the-box thinking, financial audit relies on systematic, controlled and measurable processes and reporting. In this paper we explore the intersection of innovative information systems and the financial audit process. As information systems innovate the business strategy, we seek to understand the impact on the audit process. In this study, we capture auditors' perceptions through an analysis of the relationship between innovative IT solutions and audit fees. Findings indicate that sophisticated information systems contribute significantly to increases in audit fees. Seemingly, innovation in IS has induced auditors to expend more effort in minimizing the risk of financial misstatement rather than increasing their confidence in the controls that the systems provide.

Published: September 2017

Within the scope of our new antidepressant drug development efforts, in this study, we synthesized eight novel benzothiazole derivatives 3a–3h. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Test compounds were administered orally at a dose of 40 mg/kg to mice 24, 5 and 1 h before performing tail suspension, modified forced swimming, and activity cage tests. The obtained results showed that compounds 3c, 3d, 3f–3h reduced the immobility time of mice as assessed in the tail suspension test. Moreover, in the modified forced swimming tests, the same compounds significantly decreased the immobility, but increased the swimming frequencies of mice, without any alteration in the climbing frequencies. These results, similar to the results induced by the reference drug fluoxetine (20 mg/kg, po), indicated the antidepressant-like activities of the compounds 3c, 3d, 3f–3h. Owing to the fact that test compounds did not induce any significant alteration in the total number of spontaneous locomotor activities, the antidepressant-like effects of these derivatives seemed to be specific. In order to predict ADME parameters of the synthesized compounds 3a–3h, some physicochemical parameters were calculated. The ADME prediction study revealed that all synthesized compounds may possess good pharmacokinetic profiles.

A roads and highways are a complex structures consisting of different geometric and structural elements. Some of those elements influence the driving comfort, speed and traffic safety whereas others contribute to motorway durability and its proper function during different seasons of a year. The development of motorway construction or reconstruction designs either relies or is about to rely on the principles of spatial design of a motorway route. The application of the said principles improves optical quality of the route and leads to a correct comprehension of the motorway concerned. Nevertheless, the global as well as the European and the Lithuanian experience witnesses the cases of the emergence of unavoidable optical deformations in the solutions of motorway route design and the reason for that could be an unavailability of clear requirements set forth in the relevant standard documents in force in regard to coordination between the horizontal alignment and the vertical alignment of motorway elements. The missing coordination between the solutions of horizontal alignment and vertical alignment of the motorway turns to be the cause for lower levels of driving comfort and traffic safety, as an adequate prevision of the current situation driving such a motorway cannot always be possible. A parameter known as Curvature Change Rate of single curve (CCRs) is applied by numerous countries to assess the quality level of horizontal alignment of the existing or design motorway route. The present article presents a variation of the vertical alignment of a motorways in Lithuania relying on Curvature Change Rate of vertical curve (CCRv) parameter.

Published: September 2017

Application of GFRP composites in civil engineering is still not large but already noticeable. Advantages of this material, such as: low volume weight, relatively high stiffness and strength, well fatigue resistance, easiness in shaping, high material damping and high environmental resistance, make it attractive for bridge and in particular footbridge designers. It is estimated that nowadays in the world there are realized hundreds of bridges, the construction of which, whole or in part is made of GFRP. Most of them are small span structures. However, it is possible to find some interesting designs. The paper presents an overview of the most spectacular examples of footbridge structures, in which the GFRP materials plays a key role. The few examples are: Aberfeldy Footbridge in Scotland, the world's largest structure of this kind; Lleida Pedestrian Bridge, the longest arch bridge made out standard GFRP pultruded profiles or EXPO Footbridge in Lisbon, truss bridge of 30 m span length. The last example is the footbridge designed and constructed by polish consortium Fobridge. The footbridge, which arose as a result of scientific project was studied in a great details taking into account, among others: material testing, validation studies and load tests.

Published: September 2017

The risk of accident increases significantly when tire rolls on ice comparing to the dry surface. The vehicle tire becomes the main component of force transmission to the road and necessity of investigating the tire behavior becomes of high importance. This paper presents results of tire force transmission measurement with two different winter tires at the same operating conditions. Longitudinal and lateral force coefficient characteristics as the functions of slip ratio and slip angle are presented and discussed. The results showed a different lateral and longitudinal performance because of different tread pattern and rubber compound.
