Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the values of Religious Moderation in the historical trajectory of the Indonesian Nation. The beginning of the establishment of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia began when the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was read on August 17, 1945. Indonesia has an archipelago spread with a variety of customs, cultures, tribes, and beliefs.  This diversity coexists peacefully, but lately, the Indonesian nation has experienced a crisis of heterogeneity. This is evidenced by several cases of intolerance, extremism, destruction of houses of worship and so on. Ideally, the predecessors of the Indonesian nation upheld the values of religious moderation which are now fading. The urgency of this research is to form an ideal understanding of religious moderation through historical values. This research uses qualitative methods with a history-based phenomenological approach. The primary data sources in this study are historical evidence, while the secondary data used are books, articles and reports that support the research. Data will be analyzed using Triangulation, Member Checking, and Conclusion Drawing techniques. The results showed that in terms of history the Indonesian nation has upheld the values of tolerance, harmony, and non-violence. This can be seen from the adoption of the Sutasoma book which became the basic foundation of the state and Pancasila as a moral instruction that contains philosophical values. Local wisdom in society has the value of religious moderation. The government in this case has made efforts through, training on strengthening Religious Moderation for the community, interfaith dialogue, the role of mass media, and government supp

Published: December 2024

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of furosemide therapy to prevent hemodynamic and respiratory compromise in electively transfused preterm infants.

Methods: Twenty preterm infants (birth weight: 878.5 ± 207 g; gestational age: 26 ± 1.3 weeks) with RDS requiring conventional mechanical ventilation were randomly assigned to receive either a single intravenous dose of furosemide (1 mg/kg) or an equivalent volume of placebo (normal saline) at the completion of an elective "top off" 3-hour transfusion (15 mL/kg) of packed red blood cells (PRBC) during the first 2 weeks of life. Multiple clinical and respiratory parameters were recorded during the transfusion.

Results: Twelve of the 20 infants (60%) received furosemide while 8 infants received placebo at a median postnatal age of 6 days. The clinical parameters (SPO $_{2}$ , BP, HR, spontaneous RR), ventilatory parameters (minute ventilation, compliance, and resistance), PaCO $_{2}$ , or A-a DO $_{2}$ were similar in the furosemide and placebo treated groups at the completion of the transfusion, and at 4 hours after completion of the transfusion.

Conclusion: In this pilot study, a single dose of furosemide after PRBC transfusion did not alter the clinical or pulmonary parameters compared to placebo during the 4 hour period following the transfusion. Its continued use for this purpose may not be justified.

Authors: Rais-Bahrami Khodayar , Hsiao Dorothy , Short Billie L. , Baumgart Stephen
Published: December 2024

Bilateral agenesis of the diaphragm is a rare and life-threatening congenital malformation. Most infants reported with this condition have not survived to undergo surgical intervention. We describe two varying presentations of bilateral agenesis of the diaphragm. One presented with severe respiratory failure, unresponsive to conventional therapy dying in the delivery room, and the other surviving to be placed on extracorporeal life support therapy, but dying after a successful extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) course of therapy. At autopsy both cases were found to have bilateral pulmonary hypoplasia associated with bilateral agenesis of the diaphragm with congenital diaphragmatic hernias.

Inadequate lung volume recruitment after sustained lung inflation	in high frequency oscillatory ventilation: Pathophysiology and inflammation in	an animal RDS model
Authors: Krishnan Ramesh K.M. , Meyers Pat A. , Worwa Cathy , Goertz Ronald , Schauer Galen , Mammel Mark C.
Published: December 2024

Objective: We hypothesized that a single sustained inflation (SI) of the lung as a volume recruitment maneuver during high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFO-SI) would improve pathophysiologic, inflammatory responses when compared to conventional inflation (CI) during both HFO (HFO-CI), volume targeted synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV+V) in spontaneously breathing newborn piglets with surfactant washout.

Design: Prospective, randomized animal study.

Subjects: Thirty-two newborn piglets.

Interventions: Animals underwent saline lavage to produce lung injury, received surfactant and randomized to one of 3 treatment groups. Lung volume recruitment (LVR) protocol followed and ventilation continued for 6 hours.

Measurements and main results: Vital signs and arterial blood gases were continuously monitored. End expiratory lung volume (ΔEELV) changes were estimated during LVR using respiratory impedance plethysmography (RIP). At baseline, post lung injury, 6 hours: serum, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples for proinflammatory cytokines were collected and static pressure volume (P/V) curves obtained. At 6 hours animals were euthanized and lungs fixed for morphometrics, histopathology. ΔEELV during LVR was greatest using SIMV+V, HFO-CI (p<0.05); HFO-SI required higher P $_{aw}$ for LVR compared to SIMV+V (p< 0.005), while ΔEELV change was lowest. Oxygenation was greatest with SIMV+V. Inflammatory responses, histopathology and morphometrics were similar.

Conclusions: Single SI during HFO is not adequate for LVR. SIMV+V and HFO-CI adequately recruited lung volumes without creating more lung injury.

Published: December 2024

Background: Emergency birth preparedness has been promoted to address delays in seeking skilled care at birth. However, little evidence is available for the effectiveness of birth preparedness in the context of large scale programs. This analysis uses data from the evaluation of a community-based maternal and newborn care program in rural India to examine the association between birth preparedness and use of a skilled birth attendant.

Methods: Community-based workers counseled pregnant women on maternal and newborn care, including four emergency birth preparedness steps: 1) identifying a health facility, 2) identifying a person to accompany the mother, 3) arranging for transport, and 4) saving money. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between taking any emergency birth preparedness step and using a skilled birth attendant.

Results: Of the 8,069 women who gave birth during 2004–2005, 51.8% (n = 4,183) took at least one emergency birth preparedness step. In the adjusted analysis, women who took at least one birth preparedness step were 45% more likely to have skilled care at birth [OR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.30–1.63].

Conclusions: Promoting emergency birth preparedness in community-based maternal and newborn care programs may increase the utilization of skilled birth attendants.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To compare the efficacy of oral ibuprofen with that of intravenous indomethacin for closure of significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in premature infants.

Study design: We conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial on premature infants (gestational age < 34 weeks and birth weight < 2500 grams) diagnosed with hemodynamically significant PDA. After parental consent, infants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: group A, infants received intravenous indomethacin, and group B infants received oral ibuprofen. Echocardiography was performed before enrollment and after each course of treatment. The study was designed with a one-way cross over. Infants diagnosed with significant PDA after receiving two courses of ibuprofen were then offered a course of intravenous indomethacin.

Results: A total of 41 infants were recruited in the study; of them 20 infants received indomethacin and 21 infants received oral ibuprofen. The mean gestational age was 27 weeks ± 1.5, the mean birth weight was 1050 grams ± 900 grams, and the mean age at the start of therapy was 7 days ± 1.8. Complete closure of the PDA was achieved with indomethacin in 10 infants, and with ibuprofen in 14 infants (p = 0.3). Surgical ligations were performed on four infants in the indomethacin group and two infants in the ibuprofen group. Three infants in the ibuprofen group were re-assigned to the group receiving indomethacin. Overall gastrointestinal complications in the indomethacin and ibuprofen groups were not different (9 vs. 5 infants, respectively; > 0.2). Bowel perforation occurred in 4 infants in the indomethacin group and 1 infant in the ibuprofen group, while benign feeding intolerance developed in 3 and 4 infants respectively. No infants developed thrombocytopenia and there were no significant renal function changes in either group. However, there were five mortalities in the indomethacin group and three in the ibuprofen group.

Conclusion: This study suggests that oral ibuprofen could be a valid alternative to indomethacin for the treatment of PDA in premature infants < 34 weeks. Although ibuprofen was associated with less side effects, larger cohort studies are needed to address safety of the use of oral ibuprofen in premature infants before any recommendation.

Published: December 2024

Perfluorochemical (PFC) liquids have been shown to support lung function, uniformly distribute rhSOD and attenuate biomarkers of oxidative damage and inflammation in a juvenile model of acute lung injury. The impact of this approach on injury in the immature lung has not been evaluated. To test the hypothesis that intratracheal PFC augmented rhSOD delivery will attenuate lung injury, preterm lambs (n = 18; 123.4 ± 1.4 days gestation) were ventilated, and surfactant-treated. Lambs were then randomized to receive intratracheal rhSOD (5 mg/kg) in saline (n = 6) or PFC (n = 6), PFC (n = 3), or surfactant alone (n = 3) and studied for 4 hours. Cardiopulmonary parameters were monitored; lung IL-1β, IL-8, myeloperoxidase, SOD activity, lipid peroxidation, and lung morphology were assessed. Following surfactant treatment, oxygenation improved and remained stable in all groups. Compared to delivery in saline, PFC suspensions significantly increased the lung expansion index and SOD activity and reduced lung IL-1β, IL-8, myeloperoxidase, and isoprostane concentrations. These data demonstrate that PFC augmented rhSOD delivery attenuates inflammation in surfactant-treated immature lungs as compared to delivery in saline. We speculate that this enhanced protection may be related to PFC liquid facilitating rhSOD distribution and the mechanoprotective and cytoprotective properties of PFC liquids.
A practical approach to assessment of neonatal thrombocytopenia in	NICU
Authors: Al Ghamdi Mohammad , Al Umran Khalid , Albuali Waleed
Published: December 2024

Objective: To study the occurrence, pattern, severity and outcome of neonatal thrombocytopenia based exclusively on the time of onset.

Methods: This retrospective study was performed at King Fahd Hospital of the University, a tertiary center for neonatal intensive care in Eastern Saudi Arabia.

Over a period of seven years (January 2000 to December 2006), all consecutive neonates admitted to NICU with at least two readings of platelet count of less than 150 × 10 $^9$ L were enrolled. The pattern of onset of thrombocytopenia was classified as early if it developed within the first 72 hours of age or late if it presented after that. Severity of thrombocytopenia was mild to moderate if the count was ⩾ 50 but < 150 × 10 $^9$ L and severe If < 50 × 10 $^9$ L. Time of resolution of thrombocytopenia was followed up retrospectively and grouped into weekly intervals. That is, if the time exceeds 4 weeks or a death ensues, the thrombocytopenia is labeled as unresolved.

Results: Out of 2592 neonates admitted to NICU during the study period, neonatal thrombocytopenia was diagnosed in 366 (14%). The onset was early in the majority (281, 77%) and late in the remaining 85 neonates. Mild to moderate thrombocytopenia was the diagnosis in 294 (80%) and severe in the rest.

Platelet count follow-up was obtained in 328 (90%), while 38 neonates (10%) had no subsequent count recorded. Slightly more than half of the followed neonates (170, 52%) had a normal platelet count by the end of the first week of life, while it normalized in 53 neonates (16%) within the second week, 17 (5%) in the 3rd, and 21 (6%) the 4th. week. For the remaining 67 (20%) neonates, they continued with unresolved thrombocytopenia.

Conclusions: Early onset neonatal thrombocytopenia occurs commonly in NICU populations regardless of gestational age with a benign course and a predictable outcome. The majority of the population of neonates in the current study had a mild to moderate thrombocytopenia, which reverted to normal within the first week in half of the affected neonates. On the other hand, late onset thrombocytopenia was mostly severe, recovery was delayed and half of the affected neonates had unresolved thrombocytopenia.

Keeping in mind the possibility of an overlap between the two patterns, neonatal thrombocytopenia which failed to conform to either pattern is likely to be a marker of significant pathology requiring more work up.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To examine the rate of retinopathy of prematurity in infants with severe Rhesus Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn (Rh HDN).

Study design: This is a case-control study that involved 33 premature infants with severe Rh HDN were compared to another 33 premature infants without the disease. All infants underwent routine eye examinations by a senior ophthalmologist. Data collected from the records of all patients included demographic data and complications of prematurity.

Results: Ten and 2 infants were diagnosed to have retinopathy of prematurity in the severe Rh HDN and the control groups, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P = 0.0108). There were no statistically significant differences between patients and their controls in terms of birth weight, gestational age, sex, duration of oxygen therapy, and neonatal complications. A comparison between all infants with ROP and those without ROP showed that there were statistically significant differences in gestational age equal or less than 27 weeks' gestation, presence of patent ductus arteriosus, respiratory distress disease, duration of oxygen therapy and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Another comparison was performed between infants with retinopathy of prematurity and those without ROP in the severe Rh HDN group showed that the number of intrauterine transfusions was more among infants who developed ROP (P = 0.002). In addition there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in respect to exchange and simple transfusions.

Conclusion: Premature infants with severe Rh HDN were found to be at risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity more than infants without the disease.

Pembuatan Desinfektan Alami Untuk Sterilisasi Ruangan Guna Mencegah Sick Building Syndrome
Authors: Khaer Ain , Mulyadi Mulyadi
Published: December 2024

Mikroorganisme tersebar luas di alam dan dapat mencemari produk pangan serta udara dalam ruangan, sehingga berkontribusi terhadap gangguan kesehatan seperti Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). SBS ditandai dengan keluhan kesehatan seperti kelelahan, sakit kepala, iritasi kulit, dan kurang konsentrasi, yang sering terjadi akibat kualitas udara buruk di gedung modern. Faktor utama penyebab pencemaran udara dalam ruangan meliputi ventilasi buruk (52%), kontaminasi struktur dalam (17%), dan kontaminasi bakteri (5%). Standar lingkungan kerja ideal meliputi suhu 18–28°C, kelembaban 40–60%, dan angka bakteri <700 koloni/m³. Penggunaan disinfektan kimia untuk sterilisasi ruangan memiliki risiko kesehatan jangka panjang karena bahan beracun seperti klorin dan hidrogen peroksida. Oleh karena itu, disinfektan alami menjadi alternatif yang lebih aman dan ramah lingkungan. Namun, pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai pembuatan disinfektan alami masih terbatas. Program pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan memberikan pelatihan pembuatan disinfektan alami guna mengendalikan mikroorganisme dalam ruangan dan mencegah SBS. Kegiatan ini merupakan tindak lanjut dari penelitian sebelumnya yang menganalisis mikroorganisme di ruang ber-AC dan tidak ber-AC terhadap kejadian SBS di Kota Makassar. Diharapkan pelatihan ini dapat meningkatkan kesadaran dan kemampuan masyarakat dalam menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang lebih sehat.

Correspondence Between Grey-Body Factors and Quasinormal Frequencies for Rotating Black Holes
Authors: Konoplya R. A. , Zhidenko Alexander
Published: December 2024

Although the proper oscillation frequencies of black holes (quasinormal modes) and the grey-body factors, which determine the scattering properties of black holes, represent two distinct spectral problems with different boundary conditions, a recent study has revealed an intrinsic connection between these quantities. We have shown that the correspondence between grey-body factors and quasinormal modes, previously established for spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat black holes, also extends to general parametrized axially symmetric black holes. This correspondence is limited to non-superradiant waves.
Business Skills, Corporate Governance, and Competitiveness of Small Businesses in South Africa
Authors: Nkwinika Sthembiso Eugine Rodney , Obokoh Lawrence O.
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the relationship between small business competitiveness, business skills, and corporate governance in South Africa. Business skills deficiency hinders the competitiveness of SMMEs in South African manufacturing. The SMME sector continues to operate in a highly unpredictable market due to the skills gap; this significantly affects small businesses’ competitiveness. The high failure rate of small businesses in South Africa is partly attributed to the skills gap and poor corporate governance practices. Resources need to be adequately managed in small businesses, contributing to subpar performance. The study adopted a quantitative research approach. Survey Monkey collected data from 462,972 small business owners or managers. The collected data were analysed using SPSS. The study’s findings revealed that small businesses’ competitiveness in their early years of operation is interdependent on good governance practices such as strategy, risks, and stakeholder interactions, which have been highlighted as a tool to enhance the sustainability of small businesses in South Africa. The study concludes that business skills associated with corporate governance improve small businesses’ competitiveness in their early years of operation. The study recommends that to boost their competitiveness and sustainability in South Africa, small businesses should supplement with proper corporate governance practices, such as strategy, reporting, risks, and stakeholder interactions.
Keeping Pace with the Generations! Quantitative Job Insecurity and Retention in Gen Z Workers: The Mediating Roles of Affective Commitment and Psychological Empowerment
Authors: Oraibi Bha-Aldan Mundher , Bawazir Abdullah Abdulaziz , Emam Ali Salman Mohammed
Published: December 2024

The workforce is changing as new employees enter the labour pool. Malaysia’s largest demographic segment is currently Gen Z, constituting 38% of the total population, and boasting a monthly disposable income of US$428 million. Over the next ten years, up to 10 million people in Malaysia born after 1995 (i.e., Gen Z) will enter the workforce. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between job security and employee retention through the mediating mechanism of affective organizational commitment and employees’ psychological empowerment among Gen Z, who are currently working and making up part of the workforce in Malaysia. Gen Z is characterized by distinctive attributes, demanding that human resource management (HRM) professionals anticipate potential innovations in their recruitment and training methodologies. Among the paramount concerns confronting HRM lies the challenge of employee retention, which holds a pivotal position in the overall success of an organization. This centrality is underscored by the financial burdens linked to the recruitment and training of fresh personnel, the disruption of business continuity occasioned by employee departures (commonly referred to as ‘turnover’), and the ensuing decline in productivity stemming from employee attrition. One strategy to increase retention is job security, because the finding of this research show that employees who have job security have high commitment and psychological empowerment, as well as high intention to stay in organizations. Implications for theory and research and management practice are discussed.
Service Recovery Strategy in Private Hospitals: The Role of Experience, Symbolic, and Functional Brand Images
Authors: Siriyota Kampanat , Chokpiriyawat Thanuset
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the influence of brand image on service recovery strategy, customer satisfaction, word-of-mouth communication, and revisit intentions within the context of private hospitals. The research identifies four dimensions of brand image: experiential, symbolic, functional, and social. The findings reveal that experiential, symbolic, and functional images positively impact service recovery strategy, while the social image does not have a significant positive effect. Service recovery strategies based on perceived justice significantly enhance customer satisfaction, which, in turn, fosters positive word-of-mouth and increases revisit intentions. The study highlights the importance of managing brand image to improve service recovery outcomes and maintain positive behavioral intention. Theoretical implications suggest further exploration of brand image factors and perceived justice in service recovery. Managerial implications emphasise the need for targeted marketing strategies that enhance functional and experiential brand images while avoiding social status associations. This study offers valuable insights for academia and practice, contributing to understanding and managing brand image and service recovery strategies in private hospitals.

Published: December 2024

This paper examines the role of sustainability in determining organisational development and the manner in which it has become a necessity in conducting business. Thus, this research aims at determining the enhancement of sustainable practices in the e-CRM systems. Thus, using surveys and measuring certain e-CRM possibilities quantitatively, interviews and case analyses as qualitative data gathering, the research offers a systemic understanding of how e-CRM may be utilized to encourage sustainability. The preliminary results also reveal a high concern of the respondents towards the sustainability factor in e-CRM with the mean score of 4.2 and considerable awareness of the benefits like cost advantage measure with the calculated score of 4.5 mean. Companies are moderately challenged when it comes to cost and complexity (mean score 3.8) that restrict the integration of sustainability aspect in e-CRM systems, Nevertheless the implementation and planning of sustainability initiative in e-CRM system is high (current initiatives mean score 3.7, planned initiatives mean score 4.1). The qualitative results and cases reveal the ideas, experiences, examples, and quantifiable results, such as a 25% decrease in the usage of paper in the cases and a 30% decrease in energy use. These findings established that e-CRM strategies can be made sustainable, thereby creating improved communication between firms and their customers, whilst mitigating damages to the environment and supporting the long-term sustainability of organisations.

Using a descriptive correlational research design, the study aims to assess how integral mobile phones are to students’ learning processes, focusing on activities such as goal setting, environment structuring, task strategies, time management, help-seeking, and self-evaluation. Data were collected through a survey distributed to a significant portion of the student body, with subsequent statistical analysis to elucidate the relationship between mobile phone use and the efficacy of self-regulated learning strategies. Results reveal that mobile phones play a crucial role in enhancing students’ ability to manage their learning autonomously. They facilitate access to resources, enable communication with peers and instructors, and support various aspects of self-regulated learning. However, the study also identifies challenges such as distraction, dependency, and varying access to digital resources, suggesting a need for structured guidance in mobile usage. The assumptions emphasize the potential of mobile phones as beneficial educational tools when integrated with supportive measures to mitigate associated challenges. This study contributes to the understanding of mobile learning dynamics and underscores the need for educational strategies that leverage mobile technology effectively.

Given their significant role, this study aims to comprehensively understand the linkages between business ethics, governance, and Sustainability research. The study is focused on knowing the knowledge structure that connects these concepts, identifying the critical areas of focus, and tracking their evolution over time. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on a data set covering 2003 to 2024. Two worldwide repute databases, namely, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), were used to search scientific publications (Sharma et al. 2023; Sharma et al. 2024). The selection process adhered to the inclusion and exclusion criteria outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. The Structural Topic Modeling (STM) approach was employed to group related data segments, revealing underlying patterns and significant content. Specific latent topics such as Experiential learning, corporate governance structure and behavior, Sustainability through energy policy, and Environmental protection acts were identified, which depicted the underlying knowledge areas in this field of study. Future research in business ethics and corporate Sustainability must pay attention to the emerging contextual issues in business contexts and make the future study of business ethics and corporate sustainability move beyond traditional totems and taboos in social ventures, family businesses, start-ups, and SMEs.

Integrating management and marketing with organic farming practices is crucial for the sustainable development of this growing sector. As organic farming products are popular among health-conscious consumers, agricultural entrepreneurs increasingly use innovative business strategies to meet the rising demand. The successful alignment of business and economic principles with organic agriculture enhances value creation and promotes long- term sustainability. Entrepreneurs must focus on strategic networking across production, processing, and marketing to capitalize on these opportunities fully. Despite its growth, the organic agriculture sector still faces challenges that require comprehensive research to develop effective strategies for advancing the industry. This study addresses the intersection of organic agriculture, entrepreneurship, and business strategy by utilizing topic modeling techniques to analyze bibliographic data from 4327 articles published between 1946 and 2023 in the Scopus database. Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling, five key themes were identified: (1) Soil for organic agriculture, (2) Environment and organic agriculture, (3) Agriculture business, (4) Organic production, and (5) The use of organic substances. With a connection value of 0.419, the topic modeling effectively grouped relevant themes, offering valuable insights into the role of management and marketing in organic farming. These findings provide a solid foundation for future research and innovation, enabling entrepreneurs, researchers, and farmers to align their practices with evolving market trends better, thus fostering the continued growth of organic agriculture.

The present study investigates the influences of perceived family support (PFS), perceived desirability (PD), and perceived feasibility (PF) on entrepreneurial intentions (INT) among youth in both urban and rural settings. Grounded in the Entrepreneurial Event Model (EEM), this research highlights the complex interplay between individual and social factors that shape entrepreneurial aspirations. The EEM underscores the critical roles of PD and PF in predicting entrepreneurial intentions alongside the propensity to act. A quantitative research methodology was employed, utilizing a cross-sectional survey design with a diverse sample of 291 youth aged 16-24 years, including university students from both urban and rural areas. Data were collected through paper-based surveys distributed across educational institutions and community centers. The results reveal significant direct effects of PD (β = 0.318) and PF (β = 0.380) on INT, confirming the importance of cognitive factors in entrepreneurial decision-making. Furthermore, PFS positively influences both PD (β = 0.334) and PF (β = 0.469), highlighting the multidimensional role of family support. Notably, both PF and PD serve as mediators in the relationship between PFS and INT, underscoring the critical role of family dynamics in shaping the entrepreneurial aspirations of young individuals. This study contributes to the EEM by reaffirming PD and PF as crucial predictors of INT while illustrating how PFS enhances these perceptions. The findings emphasize the importance of family involvement in nurturing entrepreneurial intentions, suggesting that targeted programs to engage family support could strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Additionally, this research prompts future investigations into other external factors influencing perceived desirability and feasibility, thereby broadening the applicability of the EEM across diverse contexts.

Published: December 2024

The data collected from the survey in this study revealed that a total of 2431 firms successfully filled out and returned the questionnaire. Among these, 73.79% were categorized as non-adopters of CIFRS, whereas 26.21% were recognized as adopters of CIFRS. The findings derived from the logistic regression model indicated that the latent variables, including financial reporting components, stakeholder knowledge and attitudes, the internal control system, and the costs related to the implementation of CIFRS, exerted a highly positive and statistically significant impact on the probability of adopting CIFRS in Cambodia at the 1% significance level. However, the variable concerning financial reporting components demonstrated significance only at the 5% level. It is important to mention that the estimated latent variables were determined using explanatory factor analysis (EFA). The estimated coefficients for the control variables were 0.997 for number of employees, 1.243 for assets, 5.581 for filing financial reports with ACAR, -0.725 for ACAR's enforcement of laws related to CIFRS implementation, and -0.644 for inconsistencies in financial information provided by CIFRS compared to standards set by the General Department of Taxation. Each parameter associated with the control variables had statistical significance at the 1% level.
