The Impact of the CEO's Personal Narcissism on Non-GAAP Earnings
Authors: Abdel-Meguid Ahmed , Jennings Jared N. , Olsen Kari Joseph , Soliman Mark T. 
Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT
Non-GAAP earnings provide managers the flexibility to exclude GAAP items to either produce a more informative performance measure or provide them the ability to opportunistically exclude recurring expenses from non-GAAP earnings. Prior literature examines the use of this form of disclosure at the firm level, although it is ultimately management's decision. We extend prior non-GAAP literature by examining whether the use and quality of non-GAAP earnings is influenced by CEO personality traits, namely, CEO narcissism. We find that narcissistic CEOs are more likely to exclude expenses from non-GAAP earnings and that the magnitude of exclusions is greater. We also find that those non-GAAP exclusions are more persistent and, thus, lower-quality. Our results shed light on the disclosure practice of non-GAAP earnings and show how narcissistic CEOs are more likely to take advantage of the discretion in financial reporting disclosures in order to benefit the firm and themselves.
Distribution of Physicochemical Parameters through Soil Profiles around Auto-Mechanic Workshop Clusters in Yenagoa Metropolis, Nigeria
Authors: Amukali O. , Bariweni P. A. 
Published: July 2020

In this study, results of analyses were carried out on the physicochemical parameters of soils around auto-mechanic workshop clusters and a control site following standard procedures and methodologies within Yenagoa Metropolis for parameters like pH, conductivity, NO3, PO4, SOM, Ca, Mg, Na, K, CEC and THC. Values for the parameters were observed, in most instances to have followed the Distance-Decay Model. In such cases, the parameters showed higher levels at the top soils (0 – 15cm) than in lower soil profiles (15 – 30cm and 30 – 45cm) and generally decreased with increasing distances (50m and 100m) from the reference points (0m) at the auto-mechanic workshop clusters, depending on influencing factors. At the auto-mechanic workshop clusters, pH varied from 6.0 to 6.8 indicating acidification of soils, conductivity varied from 594 to 10,258.20úS/cm, nitrates from 3.3 to 4.6mg/kg, phosphates from 0.4 to 0.6mg/kg, SOM from 4.4 to 6.0% and calcium from 11.4 to 26.7meq/100g. Others were magnesium from 4.8 to 9.2meq/100g, sodium from 6.7 to 17.5meq/100g, potassium from 3.5 to 5.1meq/100g, CEC from 26.5 to 44.9meq/100g and THC from 4.5 to 5.4mg/kg respectively. Thus, it could be safely stated that operational presence of auto-mechanic workshop clusters did impact the physicochemical parameters of soils within closer vicinities as topsoils (0 – 15cm) and reference points (0m) more significantly than soils farther away from their vicinities. This raises health, environmental and food productivity concerns in soils of the study area.

Phytochemicals are plant-derived chemicals, which are beneficial to human health and disease. They are naturally occurring in the medicinal plants, vegetables, leaves and roots that have defense mechanism and protect from various diseases as well inhibit, or delay the oxidation of other molecules by inhibiting the initiation or propagation of oxidizing chain reaction. Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) is one of the most important nut-bearing trees. Therefore comparative studies on the phytochemical screening and in vitro antioxidant activities on aqueous extracts of leaves and nuts of Anacardium occidentale were investigated to assess their antioxidant properties in different antioxidant property determination assays. Aqueous extracts of the Anacardium occidentale leaves and nuts revealed the presence of resin, flavonoids, phenols, carbohydrates, alkaloids and terpenoids. In addition, the aqueous leaf extract of the plant contained tannins, saponins, phlobatanins and steroids. The IC50 (µg/ml) values of the leaves’ extract were 36.77 ± 1.11, 1.71 ± 0.10, 1.01 ± 0.07, 0.11 ± 0.002 and 0.99 ±0.22 for total antioxidant capacity (AAE), ferric reducing antioxidant activity (AAE), diphenyl picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) assay, nitric oxide (NO) scavenging activity and metal chelating activity respectively. On the other hand, the IC50 (µg/ml) values of the nuts’ extract were 34.85 ± 0.27, 1.37 ± 0.02, 4.65 ± 0.19, 8.65 ± 0.09 and 3.54 ±0.05 for total antioxidant capacity (AAE), ferric reducing antioxidant activity (AAE), diphenyl picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) assay, nitric oxide (NO) scavenging activity and metal chelating activity respectively. Consequently, even though both extracts exhibited remarkable in vitro antioxidant properties, the leaf extract seemed to have better performance with respect to the parameters investigated.

Published: July 2020

Aims: The objectives of the present study were to establish Tweed facial triangle norms in Qatari and to compare the result with Tweed norms and previous reported results in different racial groups.
Material and method: The sample consisted of 89 lateral cephalometric radiographic radiographs, 75 patients were females and 14 were males with age range 18 to 25 years old (Mean 20.7. +/-2.3).
Results: The result of the present study showed that the mean values of FMA 33.5 º +/- 6.2 º FMIA 52.8 º +/- 9.5 º angles and IMAP 94.5º +/- 8.8º were significantly higher than Tweed norms. The comparison with Black Brazilian and Bangladeshi indicated extremely statistically significant differences in FMA and IMPA angles whereas in Nepalese, extremely significant difference was observed in FMIA and FMA angles.
Conclusions: Tweed’s Facial Triangle mean values were established for Qatari. However, Tweed facial triangle norms should be used only as a guide and not as an absolute value. Hence, using specific norms for specific race or ethnic group will help in providing more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Network knowledge gathering of international new ventures, approaches, and preconditions
Authors: Danik Lidia , Kowalik Izabela 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
This paper contributes to the growing stream of research on knowledge gathering in the internationalization process of international new ventures (INVs), as well as their networking activities. It identifies two dimensions describing the network knowledge-gathering approaches: 1) relationship approach (well-wishing or opportunistic) and 2) intentionality (intentional or unintentional search for knowledge), which enable the classification of the INV activities. The findings are based on a qualitative study conducted on four Polish INVs from the manufacturing industry. They show that internationalizing companies may behave opportunistically in their knowledge-gathering behavior, while, at the same time, some of their knowledge is also gathered unintentionally. The preconditions of knowledge-gathering behaviors suggested in the study include, among others, the managers’ experience, power division in the networks, and the duration of a relationship with a partner.
Consolidation radiotherapy for patients with extended disease small cell lung cancer in a single tertiary institution: impact of dose and perspectives in the era of immunotherapy
Authors: Stanic Karmen , Vrankar Martina , But-Hadzic Jasna 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

Background
Consolidation radiotherapy (cRT) in extended disease small cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC) showed improved 2-year overall survival in patients who responded to chemotherapy (ChT) in CREST trial, however results of two meta - analysis were contradictive. Recently, immunotherapy was introduced to the treatment of ED-SCLC, making the role of cRT even more unclear. The aim of our study was to access if consolidation thoracic irradiation improves survival of ED-SCLC patients treated in a routine clinical practice and to study the impact of cRT dose on survival. We also discuss the future role of cRT in the era of immunotherapy.

Patients and methods
We retrospectively reviewed 704 consecutive medical records of patients with small cell lung cancer treated at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana from January 2010 to December 2014 with median follow up of 65 months. We analyzed median overall survival (mOS) of patients with ED-SCLC treated with ChT only and those treated with ChT and cRT. We also compared mOS of patients treated with different consolidation doses and performed univariate and multivariate analysis of prognostic factors.

Results
Out of 412 patients with ED-SCLC, ChT with cRT was delivered to 74 patients and ChT only to 113 patients. Patients with cRT had significantly longer mOS compared to patients with ChT only, 11.1 months (CI 10.1–12.0) vs. 7.6 months (CI 6.9–8.5, p < 0.001) and longer 1-year OS (44% vs. 23%, p = 0.0025), while the difference in 2-year OS was not significantly different (10% vs. 5%, p = 0.19). The cRT dose was not uniform. Higher dose with 45 Gy (in 18 fractions) resulted in better mOS compared to lower doses 30–36 Gy (in 10–12 fractions), 17.2 months vs. 10.3 months (p = 0.03) and statistically significant difference was also seen for 1-year OS (68% vs. 30%, p = 0.01) but non significant for 2-year OS (18% vs. 5%, p = 0.11).

Conclusions
Consolidation RT improved mOS and 1-year OS in ED-SCLC as compared to ChT alone. Higher dose of cRT resulted in better mOS and 1-year OS compared to lower dose. Consolidation RT, higher number of ChT cycles and prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) were independent prognostic factors for better survival in our analysis. For patients who received cRT, only higher doses and PCI had impact on survival regardless of number of ChT cycles received. Role of cRT in the era of immunotherapy is unknown and should be exploited in further trials.
Impact of COVID-19 on cancer diagnosis and management in Slovenia – preliminary results

Published: July 2020

Abstract

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the provision and use of healthcare services throughout the world. In Slovenia, an epidemic was officially declared between mid-March and mid-May 2020. Although all non-essential health care services were put on hold by government decree, oncological services were listed as an exception. Nevertheless, as cancer control depends also on other health services and additionally major changes in people’s behaviour likely occurred, we aimed to analyse whether cancer diagnosis and management were affected during the COVID-19 epidemic in Slovenia.

Methods
We analysed routine data for the period November 2019 through May 2020 from three sources: (1) from the Slovenian Cancer Registry we analysed data on pathohistological and clinical practice cancer notifications from two major cancer centres in Ljubljana and Maribor; (2) from the e-referral system we analysed data on all referrals in Slovenia issued for oncological services, stratified by type of referral; and (3) from the administrative data of the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana we analysed data on outpatient visits by type as well as on diagnostic imaging performed.

Results
Compared to the November 2019 – February 2020 average, the decrease in April 2020 was about 43% and 29% for pathohistological and clinical cancer notifications; 33%, 46% and 85% for first, control and genetic counselling referrals; 19% (53%), 43% (72%) and 20% (21%) for first (and control) outpatient visits at the radiotherapy, surgery and medical oncology sectors at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana, and 48%, 76%, and 42% for X-rays, mammograms and ultrasounds performed at the Institute, respectively. The number of CT and MRI scans performed was not affected.

Conclusions
Significant drops in first referrals for oncological services, first visits and imaging studies performed at the Institute, as well as cancer notifications in April 2020 point to a possibility of a delayed cancer diagnosis for some patients during the first surge of SARS-CoV-2 cases in Slovenia. The reasons for the delay cannot be ascertained with certainty and could be linked to health-seeking behaviour of the patients, the beliefs and practices of doctors and/ or the health system management during the epidemic. Drops in control referrals and control visits were expected and are most likely due to the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana postponing non-essential follow-ups through May 2020.

ABSTRACT
Indonesian people still make rice as the main food-producing crop. Rice production shows a significant increase in almost all regions. Thus, many farmers depend on rice farming for their livelihoods, and still run their businesses on a small scale. With a relatively small business scale, causing income derived from rice farming is also relatively lower. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of farmers and the profile of rice farming, analyze cultivation technology, use of production factors, production, production costs, and rice farming income. Data analysis methods used are descriptive qualitative and quantitative descriptive. The results showed that rice farming was the main occupation of most farmers. The average age of rice farmers is 39.7 years (productive age group). The majority of farmers' education is graduated from junior high school. The average number of dependents is 3-4 families, and farming experience is around 6 to 10 years. Partial land ownership is own land with an average land area of 0,37 Ha. The condition of rice farming is quite good, it's just that there are problems with irrigation that cause farmers to only depend on rainwater. The rice farming revenue is IDR 10.219.500 / growing season which is obtained from the production of 2.271 kg/planting season, with a production cost of IDR 7.037.582 The benefit gained is as much as Rp 3.181.918 / planting season. The efficiency of rice farming is 1,45, which means that rice farming is already profitable.
