Published: September 2023

Tax is a State taxpayer contribution that must be paid by an individual or entity that has a firm nature. Many taxpayers, especially large corporations, are trying to minimize their tax burden. One phenomenon that often occurs is companies that carry out tax avoidance and income distribution in order to pay a small tax burden in order to obtain high profits. This study aims to determine the effect of family ownership, foreign ownership, concentrated ownership, managerial ownership, and institutional ownership on tax aggressiveness in companies. Tax aggressiveness is tax planning either by way of avoidance or by tax evasion. Factors that make the ownership structure perform tax aggressiveness is dominant ownership in a company that can control the company's management for personal gain. In this study, tax aggressiveness is proxied by using the effectiveness tax rate (ETR). The sample selection in this study used a purposive sampling method. The results of this study are (1) family ownership has no evidence of tax aggressive, (2) foreign ownership is proven to influence tax aggressiveness, (3) concentrated ownership has no evidence of tax aggressive, (4) managerial ownership has no evidence of tax aggressive, (5) institutional ownershipis has no evidence of tax aggressiveness.

Severe Adult Chickenpox Infection Requiring Intensive Care
Authors: Ho BCH , Tai DYH
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Chickenpox (varicella) in adults can be severe with increased mortality. This study investigated the clinical presentation and outcome of 12 adult chickenpox patients requiring intensive care.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective, observational study was performed in an adult medical intensive care unit of a university-affiliated hospital involving consecutive patients with varicella admitted over 4 years (1997-2000).

Results: The 12 patients had a mean ± SD age of 40 ± 20 (range, 15 to 86) years. Two patients were above 65 years old (aged 73 and 86 years). All but 1 were male. None had previous varicella vaccination. Six patients had direct exposure to persons with chickenpox infection. Four patients had underlying pulmonary pathology: past pulmonary tuberculosis (2), emphysema (1) and recurrent right pleural effusion from autoimmune serositis (1). The mean APACHE II score was 14.2 (range, 6 to 26). Ten patients had varicella pneumonia (of whom 2 had acute respiratory distress syndrome and 5 had acute lung injury), 1 had chickenpox encephalitis and 1 patient presented concomitantly with diabetic ketoacidosis. The median duration of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) was 11 days (range, less than 1 day to 76 days). Nine patients (75%) required mechanical ventilation (median duration, 14 days; range, less than 1 day to 79 days). All patients were treated with acyclovir. There were 3 deaths (25%); 2 were above 65 years old and 1 was 37 years old with acute myeloid leukaemia on chemotherapy.

Conclusion: Patients with varicella infection requiring intensive care carry significant mortality. In our series, old age appears to be associated with increased mortality (P = 0.045).

Salivary Immunoglobulin A and Lysozyme in Patients with Psoriasis
Authors: Koh D , Yang Y , Khoo L , Nyunt SZ , Ng V , Goh CL
Published: September 2023

Introduction: We compared the salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) and lysozyme concentration and secretion rates among mild and severe psoriasis patients and controls in Singapore.

Materials and Methods: Fifty-one psoriasis patients and 24 controls participated in the study. None of the patients were on immunosuppressive therapy. The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) was used to assess the severity of psoriasis. Patients were divided into mild and severe groups by the median PASI score. Each subject contributed a 5-minute unstimulated salivary sample. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was used to determine the salivary IgA and lysozyme levels.

Results: Psoriasis patients had lower concentration and secretion rate of IgA (geometric mean [GM], 97.5 μg/mL and 32.3 μg/min) and lysozyme (GM, 127.6 μg/mL and 42.1 μg/min) than controls (IgA GM 256.3 μg/mL, 79.1 μg/min; lysozyme GM 180.9 μg/mL, 55.8 μg/min) [P = 0.000 (IgA concentration), P = 0.000 (IgA secretion rate), P = 0.015 (lysozyme concentration) and P = 0.150 (lysozyme secretion rate)]. However, no significant differences were observed between mild and severe patients for both IgA and lysozyme concentrations and secretion rates. PASI score showed negative, but non-significant, correlations with either log salivary IgA (r = -0.22, P = 0.13) or log lysozyme (r = -0.09, P = 0.53) secretion rates.

Conclusion: Psoriasis patients had lower concentrations and secretion rates of salivary IgA and lysozyme compared to controls. However, among patients, the salivary IgA and lysozyme levels are variable and not related to severity of psoriasis.
Plantar Dislocation of Lateral Tarsometatarsal Joint: A Case of Subtle Lisfranc Injury
Authors: Teo YH , Verhoeven W
Published: September 2023

Introduction: We present a rare case of plantar dislocation of the cuboid, fourth and fifth metatarsal joints. Fracture-dislocation in the midfoot region may be subtle and difficult to recognise at the emergency department.

Clinical Picture: A 16-year-old girl presented with lateral foot pain and swelling following a fall from a height of 3 m. Initial radiograph revealed a third metatarsal shaft fracture; however, additional views reviewed a plantar direction of fourth and fifth metatarsal dislocation from the cuboid.

Treatment: Open reduction and internal fixation with Kirschner wires followed by immobilisation in plaster was performed.

Outcome: She made an uneventful recovery and the wires had since been removed.

Conclusion: This case was unusual in that there was lateral tarsometatarsal disruption with neither diastasis between the first and second metatarsals nor injury to either the first or second tarsometatarsal joints. The plantar direction of dislocation was also unusual as these injuries are usually dorsal.

Published: September 2023

O mercado de cafés especiais tem crescido mundialmente, uma vez que a qualidade sensorial da bebida atrai consumidores que buscam por experiências exclusivas de degustação, o que consequentemente agrega valor ao produto. As cultivares de Coffea arabica tradicionalmente plantadas nos parques cafeeiros do Brasil, apesar de terem boa aptidão produtiva e qualidade de bebida, são susceptíveis a Hemileia vastatrix, causador da ferrugem alaranjada. Considerando a importância do melhoramento genético do cafeeiro, o presente estudo propõe avaliar via modelos mistos o potencial produtivo e de qualidade sensorial de bebida referentes a 17 progênies de C. arabica resistentes a H. vastatrix em geração F6. Para isso, obteve-se híbridos oriundos do cruzamento entre a cultivar Catuaí Amarelo IAC 30 e o Híbrido de Timor UFV 445-56, cuja as seleções foram conduzidas pelo método genealógico. Foi avaliada a produção, características morfoagronômicas (vigor, altura de planta, diâmetro de copa, diâmetro de caule, cor de broto, cor de fruto, tamanho de fruto, ciclo e uniformidade de maturação, severidade de cercosporiose e ferrugem), de composição física dos grãos (defeitos, granulometria de peneira e porcentagem de grãos chato e moca) e qualidade sensorial de bebida (fragrância/aroma, sabor, acidez, corpo, ausência de defeitos, doçura, uniformidade, finalização, equilíbrio, final e total). As análises estatísticas foram realizadas via modelos mistos, através da deviance foi aplicado o teste LRT, posteriormente foi estimado os componentes de variância e coeficientes de determinação para cada característica em estudo. Também foram estimadas as correlações genéticas, o estudo da diversidade genética, a importância relativa, e índice de seleção das progênies. Foi observada variabilidade genética entre as progênies para maioria das características avaliadas, tanto para produção, morfoagronômicas e sensoriais de bebida. As progênies se comportaram superiores para produção, resistência a ferrugem e qualidade de bebida em relação as cultivares tradicionais. Todas progênies obtiveram pontuação sensorial acima de 80, internacionalmente classificando- as como cafés especiais Premium e Specialty Origin. A partir do estudo da diversidade genética três grupos foram formados, possibilitando a seleção de genitores para futuros cruzamentos e a recomendação de cultivares. Pelo índice de seleção obteve-se ganhos de 15,85% para produção, 10% para uniformidade de maturação, 9,05% para diâmetro de copa e 4,86% para altura de planta. Palavras-chave: Melhoramento genético.

Complexation of natural pigments with biopolymers: an approach to complexation techniques, binding parameters and application to food matrices
Authors:   , Rocha Felipe
Published: September 2023

Natural pigments are compounds that can present health-promoting bioactivities in the human body. Due to their coloring properties, these compounds have been widely used as color additives as an alternative to artificial colorants. However, since these pigments are unstable under certain conditions, such as the presence of light, oxygen, and heat, the complexation with a biopolymer is in demand. The complexation technique consists of forming a complex with the aim to make the compound less susceptible to oxidative and degrading agents. This work aims to discuss different techniques that have been used over the last years to create natural pigment-biopolymers complexes, as well as the recent advances, limitations, effects, and possible applications of these complexes in food systems. Moreover, the understanding of thermodynamic parameters between natural pigments and biopolymers to form a complex is very important. In this sense, the chapter 1 of this thesis presents a review about complexation techniques between natural pigments and biopolymers, and about thermodynamic techniques that can be used to determine binding parameters between natural pigments and biopolymers, as well as their applications, advantages, and limitations. The chapter 2 of this thesis presents the effects of natural-pigments-biopolymers complexes on food matrices, betalains (BE) nanodispersions were produced by using the solid dispersion method with polyethylene glycol (PBE) and with polyethylene glycol and low molecular chitosan (PCBE) by using the solid dispersion method followed by freeze drying. The thermal stability and stability of these pigments in acidic conditions were evaluated, as well as the effects of these nanodispersions on the color and rheology of Greek yogurt. Compared to pristine beetroot extract, PCBE nanoparticles presented increased stability for the main betalains in acidic conditions (pH 3.0 and 5.0) of 56% and 22%, respectively. Both PBE and PCBE showed enhanced relative thermal stability compared to pristine BE. Furthermore, PCBE improved commercial Greek yogurt's rheological properties and color parameters. PCBE nanodispersions can be successfully used as a color additive in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Keywords: Color. Bioactive compounds. Thermodynamic properties. Rheology.
Potencial de famílias endogâmicas visando o melhoramento de feijão carioca para resistência à murcha de fusário
Authors:   , Fernandes Rafael Silva
Published: September 2023

O Brasil destaca-se como maior produtor e consumidor mundial de feijão-comum. Entretanto, a produtividade média brasileira é considerada baixa, sendo uma das suas principais causas as doenças que assolam a cultura. Uma das doenças de maior impacto na cultura do feijoeiro é a fusariose ou murcha de fusário, que é causada por um fungo habitante do solo. Por não haver controle químico eficiente contra esta doença, o uso de cultivares resistentes é uma solução eficaz e ecologicamente sustentável. Além da resistência a doenças, características como arquitetura de plantas, produtividade e aspecto comercial de grãos, têm sido foco dos melhoristas do feijoeiro. Visando melhorar simultaneamente estes caracteres, foi iniciado em 2014 na Universidade Federal de Viçosa um programa de melhoramento de feijão carioca por seleção recorrente. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é dar continuidade a este programa, com a avaliação e quantificação do potencial de famílias endogâmicas em diferentes gerações de endogamia e em diferentes safras, visando a recombinação e a extração de linhagens. Foram avaliadas à campo famílias endogâmicas em F4:7, F4:8 e F4:9 em um látice triplo. A seleção das famílias endogâmicas foi realizada com o auxílio do índice de seleção baseado na distância do genótipo ao ideótipo. Verificou- se que as famílias endogâmicas avaliadas possuem potencial para a recombinação, visto a complementariedade e o ganho genético predito. Também com base nestes parâmetros constatou-se o potencial das famílias endogâmicas avaliadas visando a extração de linhagens superiores. Assim, conclui-se que o uso do índice de seleção distância genótipo-ideótipo foi eficiente na seleção de famílias endogâmicas de feijoeiro, as quais apresentam potencial para dar continuidade ao programa de melhoramento de feijão carioca por seleção recorrente.

Hasil pengujian menggunakan perangkat SPSS 24 for Windows menunjukkan bahwa penelitian ini mendukung temuan serupa dalam penelitian sebelumnya yang memfokuskan pada pengaruh ROA dan leverage terhadap penghindaran pajak, meskipun dalam konteks jenis usaha yang berbeda. Oleh karena itu, penting bagi pemerintah untuk memfokuskan upaya peningkatan penerimaan pajak dengan memaksimalkan tingkat kepatuhan pajak dan mengurangi praktik penghindaran pajak, bahkan jika secara hukum pajak tidak dilanggar. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi penting dalam mengidentifikasi perusahaan yang memiliki potensi untuk melakukan penghindaran pajak, dan mendorong optimalisasi penerimaan pajak sebagai bagian dari strategi yang efektif.
Distinguishing of areas for conducting the GDP (GMM)-200 for gold, based on the compilation and analysis of the distribution regularities and forecast maps for the black-shale and epithermal type large-volume gold deposits of the Russian Federation at scale 1:2 500 000

The article is devoted to problems of distinguishing the areas for conducting the GDP (GMM)-200 oriented for the black-shale and epithermal type large-volume gold deposits. The approach is based on compilation of the distribution regularity and forecast maps of the Russian Federation at a scale of 1:2 500 000, specialized for these gold deposits, and their analysis. Regional forecast criteria of the gold ore objects and the character of their manifestation over the territory of the Russian Federation are considered. Recommendations are given for setting up the GDP (GMM)-200 programs for map sheets favorable for localization of areas promising for revealing the large-volume black shale and epithermal gold deposits. The forecasted resources of gold and silver of the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation are presented.
Rational planning of geological exploration for porphyry copper objects within the Meldek intrusive-dome structure in the Magadan Region, based on application of 3D geological and geophysical modeling and neural networks
Authors: IVANOVA IRINA
Published: September 2023

The article describes a method that makes it possible to decide, based on the 3D mathematical modeling, statistical methods, and artificial intelligence, on the effectiveness of application of various geophysical measurements. Several well-studied porphyry copper prospects were used as reference objects, for which regular relationships were calculated between the petrophysical parameters, determined using geophysical techniques (magnetic permeability, electrical resistivity, induced polarization, and others), and the geological and geochemical parameters. Verification of the method was carried out for the region of the Meldek dome structure, where ore occurrences of various types were concentrated, the area assessed by specialists as poorly studied in terms of geology. The detailed studies were carried out at the Lora and Talnikovy prospects. A priori reference models were developed for them. Results of the modeling of the characteristics were applied to the planning of a field experiment for a new site, namely the Shkhiperskaya area. Objects at this area are currently at the exploration and assessment phase.

Published: September 2023

A model is suggested for the spatial-temporal coexistence of stratiform polymetallic massive sulfide deposits and stratoid gold ore deposits, confined to the flyschoid blackshale sequences of the Olokit ore cluster. Two types of the settings (the remote and combined ones) were identified for these genetically different ore deposits of base and precious metals, formed within a single formation-rank stratigraphic level of sedimentation.
Basic Ecclesial Community: Home of Synodality
Authors: Mutia Franciscano A. , Magno Jr, Annaliza , Mutia Dinah Suarez
Published: September 2023

This research paper explores the significance of the Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC) as a foundational pillar of synodality within the Roman Catholic Church. Synodality, understood as a participatory and consultative decision-making process, has garnered increasing attention in recent ecclesiastical discourse. The paper delves into the historical roots and theological framework of the BEC, tracing its origins to Vatican II and its subsequent development. It highlights how BECs, with their small-scale and communal nature, foster active engagement and inclusivity among members, providing an ideal environment for synodal practices to thrive. This paper illustrates the practical implementation of synodality within BECs and its potential implications on ecclesial governance and pastoral ministry.
Matt 25:14-30: A Critical Look at the ‘Third Servant Syndrome’ in the Light of Theological Studies in Nigeria
Authors: Jatau Paul Danbaki
Published: September 2023

During his earthly ministry, Jesus used parables to convey his message to his listeners, one of which is found in Matt 25:14-30. This parable not only draws the reader's attention to the surprise of the master's sudden return, but it also emphasizes the servants' behavior during the time the master has been away, and it is here that we find the ‘third servant syndrome’. It refers to the tendency to keep one's meager talents hidden rather than exploring the risky possibilities of adding value to them and this is the aim of this article. It finds out that this tendency is common in Nigerian theological circles, where it is often seen as a theologian's goal to faithfully pass on what one has received to others. However, in the Parable of the Talents, Jesus demonstrates that commitment to faithfulness, defined as passing on the tradition exactly as received, is equivalent to unfaithfulness because the Master expects the recipient to invest the talent and pass it on with interest at the end of one's tenure. Using the rhetorical and contextual methods of exegesis, this article examines the causes of the third servant syndrome in Nigerian theological circles and advocates for the replacement of an unproductive servile understanding of faithfulness with a first or second servant understanding of faithfulness that recognizes that in order to be truly faithful to the tradition, the theologian must work to add value to it in order to pass on more than what one has received. As a contribution to knowledge, many have written on this text, but known has taken time to read the text from the perspective of the third servant syndrome. Hence, it will add to already existing literature on the subject matter and open more windows for future research.
The Influence of Social Factors on the Performance of Elected Leaders to the Council: A Case of Lira District Local Government Councilors
Authors: Okello Adem Morris , Mwesigwa David
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The study assessed the influence of social factors on the performance of local government councilors in Lira District Council. Specifically, the study assessed the influence of selected social factors (gender, age and education attainment) on the performance of local councilors.

Methodology: A case study design was used, and 28 respondents were sampled using both purposive and simple random sampling techniques from which questionnaire were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS statistics (version 23) to generate descriptive and inferential statistics which are presented in tables, percentages, and frequencies.

Findings: Findings reveal a strong and positive relationship between education attainment and the performance of councilors (r=0.719, p<0.01); and a positive and strong relationship between age and the performance of councilors (r=0.625, p<0.05). However, the study revealed a weak and positive relationship between gender differences and the performance of councilors (r=0.061, p<0.05).

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Given that social factors yielded an Adjusted R2 of 0.13.5, we conclude that education attainment and the age of councilors are significantly correlated to the performance of local councilors. From the study, it is encouraged that a policy aimed to regulate the minimum education requirement be set to a post-primary level now that the Local governments act does not stipulate any educational qualifications for one to become a local councilor. This study is relevant to policy makers, in Uganda as well as those advocating for better local government performance, to formulate policies that aim to address the dynamics of local governance in the country.
