Voluntary Disclosure of Disaggregated Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Information around Restatements
Authors: Chen Kai , Henderson Darren , Wiedman Christine I.
Published: August 2021

SYNOPSIS

We examine changes in voluntary disclosure of balance sheet and cash flow (BS/CF) information in earnings releases after restatement announcements. We consider these disclosures to be particularly relevant in the restatement context since they help investors interpret accruals and assess reporting quality at a time when information uncertainty is high. We find that BS/CF disclosures drop significantly for at least five quarters following restatement announcements, particularly for severe restatements and those restatements more likely to lead to litigation, and less for firms likely to benefit from reputation-repairing activities. We next consider the impact of BS/CF changes on earnings informativeness and find significantly lower post-restatement earnings response coefficients for firms ceasing BS/CF disclosure, but not otherwise. Overall, we argue that litigation concerns provide a strong disincentive for disclosure following restatement announcements. Our findings add to a growing literature on the importance of disaggregated BS/CF information in interpreting accruals.
How Does Reciprocal Rent-Seeking Between Politicians and Auditors Influence Audit Quality? Evidence from China
Authors: He Ku , Pan Xiaofei , Tian Gary Gang , Wu Yanling , Cai Chun
Published: August 2021

SYNOPSIS

In this study, we propose a reciprocal rent-seeking game between politicians and individual auditors with political connections and examine how these auditors' political connections influence their audit quality. Using hand-collected data from China between 2008 and 2013, we find that politically connected auditors have a significantly lower tendency to issue modified audit opinions (MAOs). We also find that politicians' career prospects are significantly adversely influenced by MAOs being issued in their jurisdictions, while connected auditors charge higher audit fees, acquire larger market share, and have a lower chance of encountering regulatory sanctions. Further evidence suggests that politically connected auditors tend to issue less accurate audit opinions, reduce client firms' earnings response coefficients (ERCs), and increase client firms' capital costs. Collectively, our study suggests that individual auditors' political connections facilitate the reciprocal rent-seeking activities between them and politicians, which ultimately undermines audit quality.

Predisposition to Proinsulin Misfolding as a Genetic Risk to Diet-Induced Diabetes
Authors: Alam Maroof , Arunagiri Anoop , Haataja Leena , Torres Mauricio , Larkin Dennis , Kappler John , Jin Niyun , Arvan Peter
Published: August 2021

Throughout evolution, proinsulin has exhibited significant sequence variation in both C-peptide and insulin moieties. As the proinsulin coding sequence evolves, the gene product continues to be under selection pressure both for ultimate insulin bioactivity and for the ability of proinsulin to be folded for export through the secretory pathway of pancreatic β-cells. The substitution proinsulin-R(B22)E is known to yield a bioactive insulin, although R(B22)Q has been reported as a mutation that falls within the spectrum of mutant INS-gene–induced diabetes of youth. Here, we have studied mice expressing heterozygous (or homozygous) proinsulin-R(B22)E knocked into the Ins2 locus. Neither females nor males bearing the heterozygous mutation developed diabetes at any age examined, but subtle evidence of increased proinsulin misfolding in the endoplasmic reticulum is demonstrable in isolated islets from the heterozygotes. Moreover, males have indications of glucose intolerance, and within a few weeks of exposure to a high-fat diet, they developed frank diabetes. Diabetes was more severe in homozygotes, and the development of disease paralleled a progressive heterogeneity of β-cells with increasing fractions of proinsulin-rich/insulin-poor cells as well as glucagon-positive cells. Evidently, subthreshold predisposition to proinsulin misfolding can go undetected but provides genetic susceptibility to diet-induced β-cell failure.

Introduction. This extended study is the first to analyze the chemical composition of the surface waters and bottom sediments of the lakes affected to various extents by Lovozersky Mining and Processing Plant (Revda urban settlement, Murmansk Region) performing mining and processing of rare metal ores. Methods. During the study, we used data obtained in the course of research in 1995–2005 and 2019–2020. Water and bottom sediment samples were analyzed using various methods. The total contents of elements in the bottom sediments were compared with the background values or, in their absence, with the clarke contents of elements in the Earth’s crust. To assess the level of pollution in the Sergevan River receiving wastewater from the plant, the maximum pollution index was calculated. Results. Over the past 35 years, the chemical composition of the surface waters of nearby water bodies underwent minor changes. No significant excess of maximum permissible concentrations for fishery water bodies was found. The comparison of the contents of heavy metals in the bottom sediments collected from Lakes Ilma and Krivoye with the background values revealed contamination of the Lake Ilma with strontium, zinc and manganese. Besides, a multiple excess of the content of rare earth elements (La, Ce, Pr, Nd), Nb and Ta was established in the bottom sediments of Lake Ilma in comparison with that in Lake Krivoye. The analysis of the river water samples taken at different distances upstream and downstream the site of wastewater discharge confirmed the assumption about the pollution of the Sergevan River by wastewater from the plant. Conclusion. The pollution of the water bodies is mainly caused by wastewater discharged from the plant, however, the increased content of rare earth elements in the bottom sediments of Lake Ilma may be due to air transport of particles of loparite ore concentration tailings, drainage from tailing dams, or degradation of underlying rocks.

Published: August 2021

The occurrence of endoparasitoses in domestic animals has been reported routinely in the medical clinic of small animals, where wandering and domiciled cats are considered important reservoirs, evidencing the role of felines in the contamination of the environment by the infective forms of these parasites. Many animals are asymptomatic, but those with high parasitic load evidence clinical signs such as inappetence, anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea. The present study aimed to identify the different parasites found in faecal samples of semi - domed felines; for this, 45 fecal samples of cats were collected, regardless of age, sex or race, from different households in the municipality of Maringá, PR, Brazil. The collected samples were submitted to coproparasitological tests by means of the Willis & Mollay flotation method, carried out in the Veterinary Parasitology laboratory of the Veterinary Clinic of Uningá, Centro Universitário Ingá (UNINGÁ) between April and May 2017 The results obtained confirmed infestation by Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle & Manceaux, 1908), Cryptosporidium sp. (Tyzzer, 1907), Cystoisospora sp. (Frenkel,1977), Giardia sp. (Kunstler,1882), Strongyloides sp. (Bavay, 1876), Toxocara cati (Schrank, 1788), Ancylostoma tubaeforme (Zeder, 1800), Toxascaris leonina (Sprent,1959) and Dipylidium sp. (Leuckart, 1886). Therefore, the study emphasizes the periodic monitoring of coproparasitological examsin the clinical routine of small animal clinics in order to minimize enteric alterations and pharmacological resistance.

The sheep farming mainly in the southern region of Brazil. In Paraná State the production is mainly performed in small areas with large capacity of animals, favoring the contamination of pastures and the infection of animals by gastrointestinal parasites that mostly present quickly spread. The small breeding, mostly found in this region, do not follow standards of breeding sheep, however, it was observed a higher prevalence of sheep breeding woolless, probably due to the weather favorable to the creation of these animals. In this study performed in the northwest of Paraná State, samples were randomly collected in 87 animals from five different properties. In each property was collected 30% of each category stipulated in the flock: one to three months, three to six months, six months dose, and animals over one year of age. After collecttion the feces were sent to the Laboratory of Veterinary Parasitology of UNINGA, applying method of OPG. We calculated the prevalence of identified parasites. The results demonstrated a higher prevalence (68,96%) of eggs of nematodas Strongylida type, being 60/87 parasitized animals; Strongyloides (Bavay, 1876) 25/87 samples (28,73%); Nematodiros sp. (Ransom, 1907) 6/87 (6,98%), Tricuris sp. (Ransom, 1911) 3/87 (3,44%); toxocara vitulorum (Stiles, 1905) 2/87 (2,29%); there were eggs of trematodes digenetics Dicrocolium sp. (Loos, 1907) 2/87 (2.29%), and oocysts of protozoa of the genus Eimeria sp. (Schneider, 1875) appearing on 39/87 samples (44,82%), and Cryptosporidium sp. (Tyzzer, 1907) 1/87 (1,14%). In a property was performed the autopsy of an animal, and found Oesophagostomum columbianum (Railliet & Henry, 1913), where probably the eggs Strongylidae found are due to infection by this parasite.

The impact test is a test to determine the strength of the material when receiving a load constantly or suddenly. The previous tool did not meet the test requirements, so it required the development of the pendulum weight sector, the measuring scale and the addition of a braking system. Therefore, this research was carried out for the development of previous tools so that the test tools could meet the requirements and the testing of the tools using ST 41 and ST 60 carbon steel specimens. This research is a research and development study using ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation) as a reference in conducting research. The development of the tool focuses on the pendulum weight to 10.2 kg, replacing the measuring scale and adding a braking system that uses disc brakes. The results of the expert validation questionnaire got a score of 72.63%, the small respondent data questionnaire got a score of 83% and the large-scale respondents got a score of 85%. This shows that the tool gets a decent score. The results of the performance test of the tool using ST 41 carbon steel with an average impact price of 1.02302732 J / mm and carbon steel ST 60 with an average impact price of 1.2422299 J / mm. This study shows that there is an average difference in the impact price between ST 41 carbon steel and ST 60 carbon steel as indicated by the Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.484 using independent sample test T-test data processing.
Deep Rendering Graphics Pipeline
Authors: Harris Mark Wesley , Semwal Sudhanshu
Published: August 2021

The graphics rendering pipeline is key to generating realistic images, and is a vital process of computational design,modeling, games, and animation. Perhaps the largest limiting factor of rendering is time; the processing requiredfor each pixel inevitably slows down rendering and produces a bottleneck which limits the speed and potential ofthe rendering pipeline. We applied deep generative networks to the complex problem of rendering an animated 3Dscene. Novel datasets of annotated image blocks were used to train an existing attentional generative adversarialnetwork to output renders of a 3D environment. The annotated Caltech-UCSD Birds-200-2011 dataset served asa baseline for comparison of loss and image quality. While our work does not yet generate production qualityrenders, we show how our method of using existing machine learning architectures and novel text and imageprocessing has the potential to produce a functioning deep rendering framework.

About the Application of Autoencoders For Visual Defect Detection
Authors: Rádli Richárd , Czúni László
Published: August 2021

Visual defect detection is a key technology in modern industrial manufacturing systems. There are many possibleappearances of product defects, including distortions in color, shape, contamination, missing or superfluous parts.For the detection of those, besides traditional image processing techniques, convolutional neural networks basedmethods have also appeared to avoid the usage of hand-crafted features and to build more efficient detectionmechanisms. In our article we deal with autoencoder convolutional networks (AEs) which do not require examplesof defects for training. Unfortunately, the manual and/or trial-and-error design of AEs is still required to achievegood performance, since there are many unknown parameters of AEs which can greatly influence the detectionabilities. For our study we have chosen a well performing AE known as structural similarity AE (SSIM-AE),where the loss function and the comparison of the output with the input is implemented via the SSIM instead ofthe often used L1 or L2 norms. Investigating the performance of SSIM-AE on different data-sets, we found that itsperformance can be improved with modified convolutional structures without modifying the size of latent space.We also show that finding a model with low reconstruction error during training does not mean good detectionabilities and denoising AEs can increase efficiency.

Published: August 2021

Surface reconstruction for particle-based fluid simulation is a computational challenge on par with the simula-tion itself. In real-time applications, splatting-style rendering approaches based on forward rendering of particleimpostors are prevalent, but they suffer from noticeable artifacts.In this paper, we present a technique that combines forward rendering simulated features with deep-learning imagemanipulation to improve the rendering quality of splatting-style approaches to be perceptually similar to ray tracingsolutions, circumventing the cost, complexity, and limitations of exact fluid surface rendering by replacing it withthe flat cost of a neural network pass. Our solution is based on the idea of training generative deep neural networkswith image pairs consisting of cheap particle impostor renders and ground truth high quality ray-traced images.

Published: August 2021

This article aims to analyze the strategic management capabilities of Population and Civil Registry Service Agency/PCRSA (Dinas Kependudukan dan Catatan Sipil/Dukcapil) of Depok City in administering the Child Identity Card/CIC National Program. Considering the scope and the high level of complexity, the Ministry of Home Affairs/MoHA picked several local governments as pilot project, and one of them is the Depok Government. This selection is inseparable from the Depok City priority program, namely Child Friendly City which has been launched one year before the CIC Program was started by MoHA in 2017. However, the CIC program could not meet the target set. To analyze these problems, this article employs the strategic management capabilities dimension. By using PCRSA of Depok City as the case study, this article explains the presence of the following strategic management capabilities: (a) the ability to manage authority indicates that the hierarchical based authority practice is not based on development of ideas and knowledge; (b) integration of system and structure is not yet achieved thoroughly across organizations of Depok City Government, instead, it is limited to PCRSA; (c) networking between PCRSA and private sector tend to be passive and is not built upon common goals and exchange of resources between actora; and (d) changes in ideas and strategic plans are still sporadic mainly due to COVID-19 pandemic, even though the need for change has appeared before the pandemic, such as the application of electronic-based services.

Published: August 2021

A traditional agroforestry of West Timor, namely Mamar, produces important ecosystem services to the people of this arid region, however, its management tends to change, thereby disrupting its sustainability. This study aims to assess the sustainability of Mamar agroforestry by analyzing the livelihood assests of the community, the biophysical land performance of the soil, and the value of ecosystem services. Furthermore, data, on perception and livelihood assets; the level of soil damage, the importance value index, and diversity index, the value of ecosystem services based on the opinion of experts and community leaders, as well as change in land use were collected in five villages in Kupang district using surveys with a qualitative and quantitative approach. The results showed a change of perspective in Mamar's management; the decrease in the important value index of cultural crops, the diversity index is classified as declining, there is soil damage in several parameters, and the value of ecosystem services does not focus on cultural services. Considering this result, there is a socio-ecological trade-off that reduces support for the sustainability of  Mamar as traditional agroforestry that emphasizes socio-cultural functions.

Published: August 2021

The objective of the research was to determine an optimum method of postharvest handling of sweet cherry fruits which may contribute to prolonged shelf-life. The following physical factors were examined – storage temperature: 2–4°C, 6–8°C, 18–20°C; postharvest fruit packaging and treatment: Xtend® CH-49 bags + no exposure to UV-C, Xtend® + exposure to UV-C for 120 s or 600 s, no bagging + no exposure to UV-C, no bagging + UV-C for 120 s or 600 s. UV-C irradiation, regardless of the duration and storage conditions, prolonged the storage life of sweet cherry fruit. During the 14-day period of storage, the smallest weight loss as well as the highest number of fruits suitable for consumption were found after exposure to UV-C for 600 s in both Xtend® bags and flat, exposed polyethylene containers. After 28 days, higher amount of fruits suitable for consumption were found after storage at 2–4°C than at 6–8ºC. The most advantageous postharvest treatment method was placing fruits in containers and irradiating them with UV-C for 600 s. However, statistically similar results were obtained also after packing the fruits in Xtend® bags and irradiating them with UV-C for 600 s as well as placing them in containers and irradiation with UV-C for 120 s. In addition, UV-C irradiated fruits for 120 s and 600 s contained significantly more reducing sugars than non-irradiated fruits after 14 days of storage. UV-C irradiated fruits for 600 s also contained the greatest amount of flavonoids. After 28 days of storage, the highest content of flavonoids and phenols was determined in UV-C exposed fruits stored in containers. In addition, it emerged that storing sweet cherry fruit at 2–4°C without bagging contributed to increased total phenolic content compared with fruit stored in Xtend® bags. Packaging cherry fruit in Xtend® bags is the most reasonable when it stored at 6–8°C and at room temperature.
THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT MICROBIAL FERTILIZER DOSES ON YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS IN CORIANDER (Coriandrum sativum L.)
Authors: Gül Volkan , Öztürk Erdoğan
Published: August 2021

Microbial fertilizers containing Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus megaterium isolates are one of the important organic fertilizers, which strengthen the immune system of plants against harmful effects and promote the plant growth by fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere, to obtain better quality products. This study was conducted to determine the effects of different liquid microbial fertilizer doses (0, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 ml 100 L–1) on the yield and yield components of the coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) grown in Bayburt in 2018 and 2019. The experiment was set up as three replicates in randomized complete block design. The results indicated that there was a considerable variation in the yield and yield components of coriander, and the yield significantly increased as the dose of microbial fertilizer was increased. The maximum essential oil content and seed yield were recorded for the plots grown under the F1 and F3 treatment. It was found that the maximum seed yield was obtained in the F3 treatment (839.0 kg ha–1), and the seed yield decreased in the F4 (754.1 kg ha–1) and F5 (759.9 kg ha–1) treatments. Although the increase in the microbial fertilizer dose increases seed yield, using the fertilizer in optimum dose can be more profitable. Therefore, this study suggests that the fertilizer dose “F3” can improve the productivity of the coriander grown in the areas treated with microbial fertilizer.
MITIGATION OF EXCESSIVE SOLAR RADIATION AND WATER STRESS ON ‘KEITT’ MANGO Mangifera indica TREES THROUGH SHADING
Authors: Shaban Ayman E.A. , Rashedy Ahmed A. , El-Banna Mohammed I.M.
Published: August 2021

Excessive solar radiation “global warming” and water scarcity are consider the main environmental constraints for plant growth and production under arid and semi-arid regions. The current research was aimed to study the effect of irrigation levels (100%, 85%, 70% of irrigation requirements), and shading levels (60%, 40%, 0%) on the growth and productivity of ‘Keitt’ mango trees. This experiment was conducted during two growing seasons (2016/2017 and 2017/2018) at El Behera Governorate, Egypt. Decreasing irrigation level (IR) decreased leaf area, malformed panicle, powdery mildew infection, final fruit set, fruit numbers, yield but it increased chlorophyll content, proline content, leaf water content. While, increasing shading levels (SH) increased leaves number, leaf area, fruit set, powdery mildew infection, malformed panicle but it decreased fruit sunburn damage, proline content, chlorophyll content and relative water content. Moreover, accumulative effects of 85% IR + 40% SH significantly increased leaf area, fruit set, fruit number, yield, chlorophyll content, WUE, proline content, relative water content, leaf water content while decreasing powdery mildew and sunburn damage. Results suggest that shading at 40% increased the yield up to 20% and decreased sunburn damage up to 0% under irrigation level of 70%. Shading may be a new technique to alleviate the adverse effects of water stress beside their role in avoiding excessive solar radiation on ‘Keitt’ mango trees.

The teaching and learning activities at grade 10th SMA Negeri 1 Krueng Barona Jaya and SMAN 1 Peukan Bada Aceh Besar, it can be seen that the learning motivation of students is still lacking to learn. The learning motivation of students has not been maXmized because students still feel the learning conditions that provide opportunities for students to make assumptions and carry out an experiment to obtain their own knowledge. This condition causes students to only refer to conventional modules which contain material only. This study aims to analyze the differences in the learning motivation of students in the experimental class and the control class on environmental pollution material in class grade 10th  SMAN Aceh Besar. The approach used in this research is quantitative, the type of research is applied research, a quasi-experimental method, with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The research sample was 105 students. The research procedure was to provide a pre-test, a web-based electronic module treatment combined with PBL in the experimental class and conventional methods in the control class, and post-test. The instrument used is a questionnaire that has been tested for validity, reliability test. Data analysis used independent t-test with prerequisite test for normality and homogeneity test. The results showed that there were differences in the learning motivation of students in the experimental class and the control class on environmental pollution concept in class X SMAN Aceh Besar. The learning motivation taught by web-based electronic modules combined with PBL is better than conventional methods.

The learning process at SMAN 1 Kluet Utara and SMAN 1 Kluet Selatan, does not appear to have developed critical thinking skills of students, this is because learning does not provide opportunities for students to identify problems and conclude new ideas or a observational act. The process of learning biology in schools does not encourage students to think critically. The research objective was to analyze the improvement of critical thinking skills by using the discovery learning model combined with constructivism-based modulesin on the excretory system concept. The method used was a quasi-experimental, pretest posttest design non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study were 156 students of class 11th MIPA who came from two schools, while the sample was 104 taken by purposive sampling.The instrument used was a reasoned multiple choice question accompanied by a rubric. The data analysis used was n-gain and independent sample t-test. The results showed that the critical thinking skills obtained was 0.78, with an increase in class critical thinking skills including the high category. This shows that there are differences in the critical thinking skills of students between the experimental class and the control class on excretory system concept in class 11thSMAN 1 Kluet Utara and SMAN 1 Kluet Selatan. Thus, the implementation of discovery learning model combined with constructivism-based modulescan improve students' critical thinking skills on excretory system concept.

Creativity is important in facing a challenging future life. Therefore, current learning is focused on not only values but also soft skills such as student creativity. Few teachers provide opportunities for students to develop their creativity in the classroom. This creativity can be developed and trained through various learning strategies. Probem-based learning was chosen in this study as a means to increase students' creativity through two learning methods, experiment and demonstration.  This study seeks to determine the effect of experimental and demonstration methods with problem-based learning model on student creativity on Newton's law material.  The subjects included 72 tenth-grade science students in Surakarta, Central Java.  They were selected using the purposed random sampling technique where out of 8 tenth-grade science students in SMA Al Islam, Surakarta, 2 classes that met the research category were selected.  This experimental study collected the data using pretest and posttest for cognitive data and questionnaire using a Likert scale for student creativity data. Data were analyzed descriptively through independent sample t-test. The results showed that both methods through problem-based learning model had a significant effect on the level of student creativity. From the characteristics of the methods and the number of students in the high creativity category, experimental method is superior to be applied. It is implied that teachers can use the experimental method with problem-based learning model in Newton's law to develop student creativity soft skills.

The Crises of our Time – the inevitable Faze of the Tran sition to a New Sociocultural Order – on the Motives of P.A. Sorokin’s Works
Authors: Kravchenko S. A.
Published: August 2021

В статье автор, основываясь на методологическом инструментарии П.А. Сорокина, великого российско-американского мыслителя, приводит аргументацию относительно того, что современный мир вступил в кризис, главной причиной которого является дезинтеграция основополагающих форм западной культуры и общества, «старение» их институтов, идеологий, ценностей. Соответственно, современные кризисные вызовы человечеству представляют собой не только экономический и финансовый кризис, а совокупность кризисов, происходящих в разных сферах жизнедеятельности людей. Преодолеть эти кризисные вызовы можно только усилиями всех государств на основе развития и утверждения гуманистических отношений между народами, культурами и людьми.
Lebedeva. and Juliet Fort. Higher Education as Soft Power Potential of Russia
Authors: Lebedeva M. M. , Fort J.
Published: August 2021

Referring to Joseph Nye’s concept of «soft power» the authors examine training of national cadres for other countries as a factor of «soft power» of the Soviet Union and Russia. They note that before the collapse of the USSR 10.8 % of all international students studying abroad did it in the USSR. Almost 80 % of them were from Asia, Africa and Latin America. There was a significant fall in international education in Russia after the collapse of the USSR. At the same time the USA has secured the leading role in international education. International education is becoming a visible area for competition between states. In the 2000s Russia focuses on higher education again. Education has been declared a «national priority». Russia joined the Bologna process and by the year 2020 the financing of education is to reach the level of 7 % of GDP. Russia is battling to improve its image abroad and actively develops its higher education supply for foreign students and is promoting its role as the main educational center for CIS countries. In reality international education is mostly a potential for Russia as no clear program or structure to develop international education exists in the country.

Previous studies on Mexican American students in community college have demonstrated a sense of resilience in completing their studies. However, such studies have been student-centric in advising that cultural capital be utilized in fostering student success. In this article, we advise the incorporation of pedagogical conocimientos as a tool for the professional development of faculty, staff and administrators in humanizing the community college experience. The findings in this article explore ways in which three students draw upon their memories in furthering their education. We analyze how students make sense of lived experiences and transmit them into their educational trajectory.
