A REVIEW AND CRITIQUE OF COMMANDER THEORY
Authors: Kim Il-woon , James Phillip C. 
Published: April 2021

The development of accounting was marked by three key theories namely: the proprietary theory, the entity theory and the fund theory. The commander theory was subsequently introduced to address the criticisms of the previous theories. This paper, therefore, outlines the history and development of the commander theory, it also outlines the essence of the theory and discusses general criticisms levied against it. Despite some apparent weaknesses of the commander theory, one of which is that it is in-ward focused, there-by ignoring those outside the firm, it is simultaneously argued that the commander theory should be viewed as a significant theoretical framework in the formulation of accounting standards.

Authors: Aditya Fanni 
Published: April 2021

Tingkat kenyamanan merupakan interaksi antara manusia dengan lingkungan yang berkaitan dengan cuaca dan iklim. Tingkat kenyamanan ini cukup mempengaruhi kegiatan manusia baik di dalam maupun di luar ruangan. Kenaikan suhu yang diakibatkan oleh pemanasan global menyebabkan potensi perubahan tingkat kenyamanan yang dirasakan oleh manusia. Kalimantan Barat yang berada di wilayah khatulistiwa umumnya memperoleh radiasi matahari yang intensif sehingga suhu udara rata-ratanya relatif tinggi. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui tren perubahan suhu dan perubahan tingkat kenyamanan termis akibat perubahan iklim dengan menggunakan humidex di wilayah Kalimantan Barat. Data yang digunakan adalah data suhu dan kelembaban rata-rata bulanan selama 30 tahun di enam stasiun, yaitu Stasiun Klimatologi Mempawah, Stasiun Meteorologi Supadio, Stasiun Meteorologi Sambas, Stasiun Meteorologi Melawi, Stasiun Meteorologi Sintang, dan Stasiun Meteorologi Ketapang. Hasil perhitungan humidex di wilayah Kalimantan Barat menunjukkan rata-rata humidex bulanan berkisar antara 37.5°C hingga 39.2°C. Nilai ini menunjukkan bahwa kondisi tidak nyaman akibat panas sangat umum dirasakan di Kalimantan Barat. Suhu di Kalimantan Barat mengalami peningkatan selama periode 1990-2019. Peningkatan ini mengindikasikan telah terjadi perubahan iklim di Kalimantan Barat. Humidex juga mengalami tren peningkatan pada periode 1990-2019. Namun, tren peningkatan tersebut masih pada rentang kategori “perasaan tidak nyaman akibat panas” (35⁰C - 39⁰C).

Published: April 2021

Context: Thyroidectomy is a type of surgery directed to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. Documented complications after thyroidectomy are rare, but their consequences can often be life-threatening. Patients who receive perioperative instructions about what to expect after the operation often have better coping with postoperative discomforts minimizes post-surgical complications and reduces the duration of hospitalization. It also improves patient safety and reduces the anxiety induced by the intervention. In addition to this, it elevates the patient's satisfaction level. So, perioperative instructions are essential.
Aim: The present study aims to determine the effect of perioperative instructions on postoperative discomforts and satisfaction levels among patients undergoing thyroidectomy. The study hypothesized that postoperative patients who receive the perioperative instructions exhibit fewer discomforts and more satisfaction than those who do not.
Methods: The study utilize a quasi-experimental (study/control group) design. It was conducted at the Head and Neck Surgical Department of Alexandria Main University Hospital. A convenience sample included 70 adult patients were selected from the setting mentioned above who have enrolled either study or control groups, 35 patients, for each. Three tools were used for data collection. A structured interview questionnaire aimed to assess the socio-demographic characteristics and clinical data of the study subjects. Discomfort assessment scale to rate the patient's level of discomfort against six common postoperative problems. Perioperative instructions patients’ satisfaction questionnaire developed to determine the patients' ′ satisfaction level regarding perioperative instructions.
Results: There were statistically significant differences among the study and control groups in the first, second, and third weeks regarding total discomfort score level, where t=3.606, p=<0.001; t=3.049, p=<0.001; t=21.213, p=<0.001respectively. The studied patients had higher level of satisfaction compared to those in the control group with statistically significant differences regarding overall scores of satisfaction, and with preoperative instruction, postoperative instruction, and psychological preparation, where t=48.382, p=<0.001; t=6.023, p=<0.001; t=27.997, p=<0.001; t=32.939, p=<0.001respectively.
Conclusion: The study hypotheses were accepted as postoperative patients who receive perioperative instructions exhibit less discomfort and a more satisfying level than those who do not. The perioperative instructions should be applied to the care of patients undergoing thyroidectomy to decrease patients' discomfort and increase their satisfaction level.

Published: April 2021

Context: Nurses act as patients' first caregivers who help them manage their physical needs, control, and treat health conditions through their early nursing interventions and critical decision-making. The critical factor for nurses that help to raise their feeling of confidence is self-efficacy. Psychiatric nurses as long as they are protected, they will become more productive, creative, and supported.
Aim: This study aimed to identify the relation between job stress and self- efficacy among nurses working in psychiatric and addiction hospital.
Methods: A descriptive-correlational design was utilized. The study was conducted at Al-Amal Psychiatric and Addiction Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A convenience sample of 133 nurses voluntarily participated. Data were collected by using two tools; psychiatric nurse job stress scale used to assess nurses' socio-demographic data and clinical experiences, besides, to measure psychiatry nurses' job stress. General self-efficacy scale to assess self-beliefs to cope with stressful life events and capture individuals' general beliefs about their capabilities to handle different situations.
Results: The results showed that about half of the participants (47%) have high job stress, and approximately three-quarters of participants (74.44%) have high self-efficacy. Middle-aged nurses had less job stress than young nurses. It was found that non-Saudi were experience job stress less than Saudi.
Conclusion: The analysis of the collected data revealed that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between overall job stress and self-efficacy. Nurses need to be trained in coping strategies to deal with job stress. Workshops regarding stress management, communication skills are a must for those nurses working in a psychiatric hospital. Develop training programs on self-efficacy to help nurses heighten their stress management capability and also increase their job achievements.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is an increasingly recognized phenotype. The current definition of the LVNC does not mention LV dysfunction as an absolute criterion in addition to morphological criteria. LV dilatation and decreased LV ejection fraction (LVEF) are often late manifestations of the disease and correlate with the occurrence of cardiovascular complications. However, to define LVNC as a cardiomyopathy, functional criteria must be fulfilled, in addition to the morphological ones. Multimodality imaging, such as myocardial deformation and myocardial work analysis derived from speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), in combination with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) might improve diagnosis and characterization of non-compaction, exposing earlier signs of LV systolic dysfunction. We present two comparative cases of LVNC in order to highlight the idea of subclinical dysfunction even in apparently benign forms with preserved LVEF, and also the importance of multimodality imaging approach.

Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a myocardial disorder characterized by ventricular dilation (LV or biventricular) and systolic dysfunction, with a broad etiological spectrum, comprising numerous genetic and non-genetic causes. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has become an important tool in guiding the etiological diagnosis in DCM. We present the case of a 37-years old man admitted to our department in order to investigate the diagnosis of DCM using CMR. Cine imaging showed mild left ventricular (LV) dilatation and moderate systolic (LV ejection fraction = 42%) dysfunction, but also apical hypertrabeculation meeting the criteria for non-compaction and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images revealed mid-wall fibrosis in the basal and midventricular segments of the inferior interventricular septum (IVS) – typical of non-ischemic DCM. Complete family history revealed the diagnosis of DCM in the mother of the patient and in the maternal grandfather, who had died at 87. After genetic testing of the index patient showed a pathogenic mutation in the TTN (titin) gene (c.79273A>T), cascade genetic testing followed, for his mother, sister, uncle and two cousins who all came back positive for the same mutation. CMR examination of the mother done 6 years prior demonstrated severe LV dilatation and systolic dysfunction (LV ejection fraction = 23%), LV non-compaction and mid-wall IVS fibrosis. CMR examination was performed for the other members of the family and discovered pathological findings in the uncle (normal LV volume and function, but focal mid-wall fibrosis in the inferior IVS) and the male cousin (LV non-compaction), while the female cousin had a normal exam. Using CMR and genetic testing, this case report proves the phenotypic heterogenicity of a completely penetrant titin mutation in the same family. Moreover, CMR is shown to be essential in DCM evaluation, having the ability to guide etiologic diagnosis and to detect alterations such as fibrosis and non-compaction in the absence of LV dilation or dysfunction.

Abstract
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), exhibits a wide spectrum of manifestations, from asymptomatic presentations to acute respiratory failure, myocardial injury, arterial or venous thrombosis, multiorgan failure, and death. Although COVID-19 mainly disrupts the respiratory syndrome, it has been shown to have detrimental impact on cardiac morphology and function, resulting in a broad range of cardiovascular complications and poor outcome, increasing morbidity and mortality of these patients. This review will summarize the knowledge on characterization of myocardial injury in COVID 19, by using cardiac biomarkers, electrocardiographic, and cardiac multi-modality imaging findings for an early and accurate diagnosis, proper management, correct treatment, and follow-up of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a relatively frequent congenital defect. Its natural evolution is marked by serious complications including aortic dissection, heart failure, coronary artery disease, infective endocarditis, or cerebral haemorrhages. Correction of CoA before complications arise is associated with a favourable long-term outcome. Timely diagnosis of CoA is therefore of utmost importance in the prognosis of these patients. Non-invasive imaging techniques, ranging from chest radiography to echocardiography, Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT), and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) have evolved to the extent where they can not only suggest but also precisely characterize the lesion and guide further management. We present a series of 3 case reports, highlighting the diagnostic approach and treatment for this pathology.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) can be the first symptom of an occult malignancy in apparently healthy individual. Inferior vena cava (IVC) tumors are rare conditions but with negative prognosis. We present the case of a 57 year-old male patient, with complete situs inversus, diagnosed with hepatic cirrhotic disease and frequent decompensations, that was hospitalized for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and ascites. Further imagistic investigations revealed a 22 cm tumor inside the IVC with consequent Budd-Chiari syndrome that was actually causing the liver and kidney disease, extending from the infrarenal level to the right atrium. After compensation, the patient was referred to a multidisciplinary surgical team. However, the management of such patients is very difficult, and the prognosis is altered. Possible IVC leiomyosarcoma are very rare and such vascular extension has been rarely reported.

Abstract
Importance: Parents play an essential role in the transition to adulthood for autistic youth, yet often feel they do not have adequate training and resources.
Objective: To evaluate data on the preliminary efficacy of and collect participant feedback about the Maximizing Adolescent Post-Secondary Success (MAPSS) intervention.
Design: Single-group, pretest–posttest pilot study.
Setting: Clinic.
Participants: Twenty-two families of autistic youth (ages 13–19 yr, 72.7% male).
Intervention: MAPSS is a group intervention for parent–youth dyads that is designed to guide parents in facilitating the development of independent skills for adulthood.
Outcomes and Measures: Measures included the Transition Preparation Activities Measure (T-PAM), Family Empowerment Scale (FES), 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS–10), Adulthood Expectations Questionnaire (AEQ), Adaptive Behavior Assessment System–Third Edition (ABAS–3), and a study-specific participant feedback survey.
Results: Frequency of transition preparation activities (T-PAM) significantly increased from before to after the intervention, and although the frequency of preparation activities decreased by 1-mo follow-up, it remained significantly higher than at baseline. Parent self-efficacy (FES), parent expectations (AEQ), and parent sense of control over outcomes (AEQ) also significantly increased from preintervention to follow-up; however, parent coping (PSS–10) was unchanged. Youth self-care skills (ABAS–3) demonstrated improvements 6 mo after the completion of the intervention, although other areas of adaptive behavior did not significantly change. Feedback from parents suggested they had positive experiences and felt the intervention was beneficial.
Conclusions and Relevance: Our data suggest that the MAPSS intervention is an appropriate candidate for larger, controlled clinical trials.
What This Article Adds: With additional evidence, this intervention can offer guidelines for occupational therapists to work with autistic youth and their parents to prepare for adulthood.
