Published: April 2020

This study on extent of utilization of analytical techniques and susbsitantive test by accounting staff for fraud detection in large scale business organisations in Delta State was necessitated by the growing incidence frauds that are crippling businesses and socio-economic development of the state. Two research questions guided the study and two null hypotheses were tested. Related literature to the study were reviewed. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 260 accounting staff. A sample size of 160 was drawn for the study using stratified sampling technique. A four-point rating scale questionnaire developed by the researchers containing 23 items in two clusters was used for data collection. Internal consistency method was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaire with Cronbach Alpha and this yielded reliability coefficient values of 0.91 and 0.84 respectively for the sections with an overall reliability of 0.88. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and determine the homogeneity of the respondents’ view while t-test and analysis of variance were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that the accounting staff moderately utilized analytical technique for fraud detection but highly utilized substantive test. Furthermore, it was found that types and status of organization in NSE did not significantly influence the respondents’ ratings. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that the accounting staff are not adequately utilizing techniques that could facilitate fraud detection in large-scale business organisations as required to combact the menance. It was therefore recommended among others, that, management of LSBOs should sponsor their accounting staff on training and that sharesholders should insist that the techniques are adequately utilized by holding the management accountable for future incidence of fraud.

Published: April 2020

The study titled ‘Comparison of pupils’ completion rate before and during 2006/2007 school feeding programme in selected public primary schools in Rivers State, Nigeria was carried out to determine the impact of the feeding programme on the pupils’ completion rate. The study compared the completion rate of pupils before and during the feeding programme and also investigated the completion rate on the bases of boys and girls as well as urban and rural pupils. Out of 868 schools in Rivers State, 44 schools were randomly selected for the study. The Head teachers of the selected schools were requested to supply relevant records of the pupils’ enrolment, dropout, return and completion rates using the admission and attendance registers as well as the result schedules. The figures generated from the records were analyzed using simple percentages. Based on the analysis, the study established that completion rate during the feeding programme was higher than when there was no feeding among pupils in Rivers State. The study further established that there was no significant difference between the completion rates of the urban and rural pupils during or before the feeding programme and also established that more males completed primary education than females during the feeding programme in Rivers State. It therefore recommended that the government should re-introduce the feeding progamme and also carry out enlightenment campaign among the rural dwellers to enable them fully utilize the opportunity as well as seek for participation of philanthropists in funding the programme in all the nooks and crannies of the state so that all and sundry shall benefit.

Authors: Emarah Mohamed S. A. 
Published: April 2020

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the outcome of medical treatment with vaginal misoprostol in missed miscarriage.
Methods: A randomized controlled study was performed in Benha Teaching Hospital between April 2016 and June 2017. Eighty patients diagnosed with miscarriage before 13 weeks of gestation and wanted to try medical treatment were included. A detailed ultrasound scan was performed to confirm the diagnosis. Patients took 400 microgram (mcg) of misoprostol vaginal as an initial dose, and repeated the same dose 4-6 hours apart. Successful medical abortion was defined as spontaneous expulsion of gestational products (including gestational sac, embryo, fetus, and placenta). Ultrasonography at least 24 hours later from the initial dose to assess the uterine cavity if gestational products were not expelled, surgical evacuation was performed.
Results: About two-thirds of patients (77.5%) had a successful outcome. The median interval time from pill to expulsion was 18 hours in the successful medical treatment group.
Conclusion: Medical treatment with vaginal misoprostol should be a proper option for the first trimester miscarriage, especially for the patient who want to avoid surgical procedure. We can reduce the unnecessary sedation or surgical intervention in the patients with the first trimester miscarriage.

Stay with Me: Factors Influencing Teacher’s Retention in Private Elementary Schools
Authors: Sumipo Jasmin 
Published: April 2020

This research study sought to find out the factors which influence teachers’ decision to stay among the selected private elementary schools in Tubigon, Bohol. A researcher -made questionnaire based on Fredrick Herzberg’s Motivation- Hygiene Theory supplemented with informal interviews were used to gather the perceptions of the research participants. This quantitative-qualitative study used purposive sampling to determine the eighteen teacher participants from the three private elementary schools. Using a weighted mean formula to interpret the data, findings revealed that motivational factors on the job are strong influencing factors responsible for teachers’ retention. Despite the low salary they received, the participants chose to stay because they felt satisfied in other areas. Truly, intrinsic motivational factors are stronger forces that instill teachers’ loyalty to the school. This is in congruence with Herzberg Theory which states that the higher the motivational factors, the greater the percentage of worker’s retention.

Published: April 2020

The crime of theft with violence is one of the most frequent crimes or criminal acts in the community. It almost happens in every region in Indonesia. They have the tendency to steal when the opportunity is present, then the perpetrators do it with no regard for time. However, in some cases, the theft is done in a certain time. It involves a condition where everyone will look for the right time to carry out their operations. It appears that in fact, we want to realize a handling of child cases. This handling has to pay attention to the needs of children, so that children affected by criminal cases are not harmed physically or mentally. The barriers experienced in law enforcement carried out by children include, legal regulations themselves, facilities and infrastructure, society, and culture.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
FUS is a nucleic acid binding protein that, when mutated, cause a subset of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Expression of FUS in yeast recapitulates several pathological features of the disease-causing mutant proteins, including nuclear to cytoplasmic translocation, formation of cytoplasmic inclusions, and cytotoxicity. Genetic screens using the yeast model of FUS have identified yeast genes and their corresponding human homologs suppressing FUS induced toxicity in yeast, neurons and animal models. To expand the search for human suppressor genes of FUS induced toxicity, we carried out a genome-scale genetic screen using a newly constructed library containing 13570 human genes cloned in an inducible yeast-expression vector. Through multiple rounds of verification, we found 37 human genes that, when overexpressed, suppress FUS induced toxicity in yeast. Human genes with DNA or RNA binding functions are overrepresented among the identified suppressor genes, supporting that perturbations of RNA metabolism is a key underlying mechanism of FUS toxicity.

Introduction. Until now, the most informative methods for selecting patients with idiopathic normal pressure (iNPH) for neurosurgical treatment were invasive diagnostic methods: tap test, lumbar infusion test, external lumbar drainage. Nevertheless, choosing the sequence of using these diagnostic tools and the assessment of their results cause number of questions for doctors in everyday practice.The study objective is to assess the informational content of invasive tests for differential diagnosis of iNPH and to create an algorithm of applying mentioned methods for clinical purposes.Materials and methods. At least one of the invasive diagnostic methods was used for 374 patients, who were treated in the period from 2006 to 2018 in the neurosurgical clinic of S. M. Kirov Military Medical Academy. The patients with final diagnosis of iNPH (n = 231), aged 58–87 years old, were selected for shunt surgery. The informativeness measures were calculated for each method on the basis of revealed data.Results. Sensitivity and specificity of tap test were 57.5 and 86.4 %, respectively, positive predictive value – 92.5 %, negative predictive value – 41.3 %, accuracy – 64.9 %. For lumbar infusion test sensitivity was 39.1 %, specificity – 63.6 %, but we calculated low negative predictive value (20.0 %) and accuracy (43.9 %) of the method despite of relatively high positive predictive value (81.8 %). External lumbar drainage revealed the highest significance of positive predictive value (92.9 %).Conclusion. Excluding of lumbar infusion test from the pre-operative diagnostic algorithm of iNPH and recommendation for sequential using of tap-test and external lumbar drainage after questionable result of the last one are an advisable option for practitioners.
Anti dumping EU measures against China and possible legal actions to alleviate them and/or improve relationships between EU and China
Authors: Montanarini M. 
Published: April 2020

Imports of goods at less than an average market price can be very harmful to fair competition and to the economies of the importing Country. The European Union has established since 2016 a standard set of regulations for its member states in order to identify dumped imported goods and apply duties to redress the situation. People Republic of China, due to its importance as exporter of goods in the European Union, at a price liable to be defined as “dumped” has been the subject of the overwhelming majority of duties leveled at dumped imports. Such a conflicting situations can be solved either applying standard international law negotiations and agreements, either making recourse to the tools oﬀered by European Union’s regulation from the aﬀected companies exporting goods to European Union’s member states.

APROXIMACION BIOGRÁFICA A PADRES ADOLESCENTES POBRES: ALGUNAS REFLEXIONES METODOLÓGICAS
Authors: De Martino Bermúdez Mónica Solange 
Published: April 2020

El artículo pretende plantear algunas reflexiones sobre los alcances y límites del método progresivo-regresivo sartreano, a partir de nuestra experiencia de investigación en el campo del embarazo a edades tempranas y estudios sobre masculinidades. A partir de una investigación concreta, se trata de elaborar algunas reflexiones de carácter más general sobre el método sartreano. Todo ello desde la perspectiva del Trabajo Social y, pensamos, extensiva a todas aquellas profesiones asistenciales, esto es, aquellas que se desempeñan en el campo de la asistencia social. Especialmente el artículo se detiene en los desafíos que implica la biografía en términos de encuentro entre dos personas desiguales pero hijas del mismo espíritu de época. Por otra parte, y a los fines de recoger aquellas vertientes marxistas que hacen énfasis en la agencia humana, en las conclusiones se coloca en diálogo al historia Edward Thompson para también problematizar los resultados de las historias de vida realizadas en el marco de la investigación. SI Sartre aporta la dialéctica de lo universal y lo particular, Thompson nos traerá la de conciencia y ser social, ambas de difícil acceso a través de historias de vida.

Peledakan dikatakan berhasil apabila batuan terberai menjadi fragmen dengan ukuran yang tepat untuk proses lanjutan. Proses lanjutan setelah pemberaian batuan penutup berupa pemuatan dan pengangkutan ke tempat penimbunan (disposal). Ukuran fragmen hasil peledakan harus sedapat mungkin mudah dimuat oleh alat muat yang beroperasi di lokasi peledakan saat itu. Permasalahan yang terjadi di lokasi penelitian ialah fragmen hasil peledakan yang berukuran ³ 70 cm sekitar 35%. Sedangkan perusahaan menargetkan maksimal 30%. Fragmentasi erat kaitannya dengan perbandingan isian bahan peledak terhadap batuan yang terbongkar, yang diterapkan dalam bentuk geometri peledakan. Geometri peledakan yang diterapkan saat ini burden 8 m, spasi 9 m dengan kedalaman lubang yang bervariasi, diameter lubang ledak (D) 7.88 inchi dan subdrilling 0.5 m. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan geometri peledakan yang memberikan hasil paling optimum, yakni sesedikit mungkin isian bahan peledak untuk menghasilkan distribusi ukuran fragmen yang sesuai kriteria.Geometri peledakan, isian bahan peledak, dan distribusi ukuran fragmen hasil peledakan diamati di 3 lokasi pengamatan yaitu interburden seam B, interburden seam C, dan interburden seam D. Hubungan pengaruh isian bahan peledak terhadap hasil fragmentasi dari data aktual di lapangan dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan persamaan regresi polinomial orde 2. Sebagai perbandingan teoritis digunakan pula model matematis Kuzram. Selanjutnya ditentukan isian bahan peledak yang diprediksi menghasilkan ukuran fragmen ³ 70 cm maksimal 20%.Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa untuk mencapai target distribusi ukuran fragmen tersebut, diperlukan penambahan isian bahan peledak per lubang dengan burden dan spasi tetap 8 m x 9 m. Peledakan interburden seam B dengan tinggi jenjang 8 m memerlukan 208.34 kg bahan peledak per lubang, sementara untuk tinggi jenjang 10 m memerlukan 269.60 kg bahan peledak per lubang. Peledakan interburden seam C dengan tinggi jenjang 7 m memerlukan 306.4 kg bahan peledak per lubang, sedangkan untuk tinggi jenjang 8 m memerlukan 315 kg bahan peledak per lubang. Pada peledakan interburden seam D dengan tinggi jenjang 8 m diperlukan isian handak 290 kg per lubang. Hasil penelitian ini dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai referensi untuk melakukan kegiatan peledakan yang optimal. Kata-kata kunci: Burden, Fragmentasi, Isian Bahan Peledak, Peledakan, Spasi
