Published: March 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to discuss about the benefits of Cu(NO3)2 applied in coating paint film that consists of plant extract from Cassia Alata. Cu(NO3)2 has been added to the coating paint film as a colour stabilizer and as an antifungal property by forming a zone of inhibition towards fungal growth.

Design/methodology/approach
The coating paint film resin consists of a mixture of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and acrylic polyol. The coating paint film’s performances were observed in terms of visible optical and physical appearance.

Findings
When exposed to the fungus Trichoderma Sp., a zone of inhibition of 208 mm2 was formed around the coating paint film and therefore it gave the coating paint films an antifungal property. The commission internationale de l’éclairage (CIE) L*a*b* colour coordinate system was used to identify the colour changes in the coating paint film and it was found that the addition of Cu(NO3)2 to the coating paint film has a better colour stability, as it has a lower standard deviation (STD) value of 6.46 than the pure dye coating paint film of 8.95. The gloss of coating paint film with the addition of Cu(NO3)2 was found to be have a more stable gloss based on its smaller STD value at both angles taken at 20° and 60°.

Research limitations/implications
The Cassia Alata plant has different amount of antifungal properties based on location its growth.

Practical implications
The coating paint film developed in this study is suitable for indoor applications.

Originality/value
The plant extract from the Cassia Alata gives the coating paint film an antifungal property.
Challenging the meaning of globalisation in Tunisian context
Authors: Khlif Wafa , El Omari Sami , Hammami Helmi 
Published: March 2019

PurposeIn accounting, several studied Arab countries are keen to acquire the dominant Western thinking categories that justify and normalize the exerted domination, especially when it comes to globalized practices. This paper aims to challenge this assumption by examining the dynamics of globalization and its effects through new theoretical perspectives and through new empirical terrain.Design/methodology/approachIt builds on the concept of “globalization from below”, which emerges from the network of individual development of daily routines, systems and practices, far from international institutions pressure. It uses social representation theory to inform the centrality of a particular social group. The study uses a survey, which was on a sample group of 214 Tunisian public accountants and uses the hierarchical evocation method and an attitudinal scale.FindingsThe results are twofold: first, Tunisian public accounts lack a stable and common understanding to globalization; second, there are ambivalent positive/negative attitudes towards globalization among accounting professionals.Originality/valueThe dynamic Tunisian context, along with the absence of a stable collective meaning to the concept of globalization among accountants, shows the complexity of such cases, vacillating between international institutions’ domination and the emergence of emancipatory accounting practices inspired by and developed for local socioeconomic entities, if supported by specific factors.

Authors: Dadkhah Mehdi , Lagzian Mohammad , Santoro Gabriele 
Published: March 2019

Purpose
Internet of Things (IoT) as the new technological paradigm has found many applications in different domains. Nowadays, more than 30,000 records related to IoT research can be accessed in Scopus (Scopus.com). Health care is the one of domains which benefits from IoT. However, observations indicate that most active researchers in this area are technical people not health professionals. The purpose of this paper is to understand how health professionals can contribute to the IoT body of knowledge.

Design/methodology/approach
IoT professionals are asked to provide their views regarding research concerns, and the collected data are analyzed by phenomenography research methodology.

Findings
Findings indicate that health professionals can contribute through providing information, requirement or standards for developing IoT systems or devices. They can also introduce new applications or domains for which IoT is fit.

Originality/value
This paper tries to fill the gap concerning the lack of attention to undertaking IoT-related research from health professionals’ side and highlights ways that health professionals can contribute IoT body of knowledge.
Open‐class repair initiations in conversations involving middle‐aged hearing aid users with mild to moderate loss
Authors: Laakso Minna , Salmenlinna Inkeri , Aaltonen Tarja , Koskela Inka , Ruusuvuori Johanna 
Published: March 2019

AbstractBackgroundTo manage conversational breakdowns, individuals with hearing loss (HL) often have to request their interlocutors to repeat or clarify.AimsTo examine how middle‐aged hearing aid (HA) users manage conversational breakdowns by using open‐class repair initiations (e.g., questions such as sorry, what and huh), and whether their use of repair initiations differs from their normally hearing interlocutors.Methods & ProceduresEighteen 45–64‐year‐old adults with acquired mild to moderate HL participated in the study. The participants were videotaped in everyday interactions at their homes and workplaces and in clinical encounters with hearing health professionals. Interactions were transcribed and open‐class repair initiations of participants with HL and their interlocutors were identified using conversation analysis. The frequencies of initiations were analyzed statistically between the groups, and the contexts and structure of repair sequences dealing with communication breakdown were analyzed.Outcomes & ResultsBefore acquiring HA the participants with HL reported intense use of open‐class repair initiation. After HAs were acquired, there was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of open‐class repair initiations between HA users and their interlocutors. The most common means for open‐class repair initiation in the data was interrogative word mitä (‘what’). Vocalization hä (‘huh’), apologetic expression anteeksi (‘sorry’) and clausal initiations (e.g., ‘what did you say’/‘I didn't hear’) occurred less often. Open‐class repair initiations emerged in contexts where they typically occur in conversation, such as topical shifts, overlapping talk and action, background noise, and disagreements. When used, open‐class repair initiations most often led to repetition by the interlocutor, which immediately repaired the conversational breakdown. Long clarification sequences with multiple repair initiations did not occur.Conclusions & ImplicationsParticipants with mild to moderate HL using hearing amplification initiate open‐class repair similarly to their normally hearing conversational partners when the frequency, types, contexts and structure of repair are considered. The findings diminish the stigma related to HL, HAs and the use of open‐class repair. The findings suggest that HA amplifies hearing successfully in everyday conversation when the level of HL is mild to moderate. However, the evidence for the benefit of HAs remains indirect.
The solar good: energy ethics in poor markets
Authors: Cross Jamie 
Published: March 2019

AbstractWhat are the ethical commitments of people who design, build, and sell solar photovoltaic technologies to those living in energy poverty across sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia? Over the past decade, dramatic falls in the cost of solar photovoltaics have seen our increased capacity to convert sunlight into electricity married to projects of governance, social or moral reform, and expressions of care for distant others. Tracing these projects across the floor of an international trade fair in Dubai and a social enterprise in India, this essay shows that the pursuit of the solar good hinges on the knowable ground that is capitalism today.
Boom to bust, ashes to (coal) dust: the contested ethics of energy exchanges in a declining US coal market
Authors: Smith Jessica M. 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThis essay explores how rank‐and‐file producers of energy evaluate the ethics of energy exchanges, which sheds light on some of the unexamined assumptions animating anthropological studies of energy and ethics. Exploring how coal miners experience a massive downturn in Wyoming, the centre of US coal production, reveals differing logics of exchange between the producers and consumers of electricity. Most Americans engage with electricity as consumers through a commodity framework, paying utility companies a fee to purchase kilowatt hours that are abstracted from their productive origins. In contrast, the miners experience energy as more of a gift exchange, keeping in view the network of the ultimate consumers of the coal they produce. These differing logics of exchange entail different ethical obligations in the face of the termination of those relationships as the country moves away from coal‐fired electricity, helping to explain the outrage that was felt in ‘coal country’ – an outrage that Donald Trump exploited for political purposes during the 2016 US presidential election.
Consulting virtue: from judgement to decision‐making in the natural gas industry
Authors: Mason Arthur 
Published: March 2019

AbstractShifts in the terrain of energy politics have given rise to consultant experts who produce and distribute knowledge of energy futures. Drawing on fieldwork at executive roundtables in global cities across North America, this essay examines the consolidation of this form of expertise and the opulent settings in which it is distributed. By exploring the role of aesthetic judgement in market‐orientated decision‐making, it contributes to anthropological work on elites, expertise, and energy ethics by highlighting the relationship between credibility and luxury. The essay also considers the enrolment of the expert in a kind of virtue ethics, whereby adherence to neoclassical economic principles is taken to be a character trait worthy of emulation. While clients may not look to consultants for advice coded in terms of ethics, I argue that they regard the person‐based qualities of consultants as proxies for their ability to recommend a judicious course of action. By adopting this analytic, the essay sheds new light on the confidence that clients place in consultants by drawing out the relationship between depersonalized, quantitative approaches to energy markets and the virtue of the persons who propose them.
The Georgia State Litigation: Literal Copying in Education
Authors: Hudson Emily 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThis case note examines the long‐standing litigation against Georgia State University in relation to the posting, by faculty and library staff, of unauthorised copies of book extracts on the University's electronic reserves and virtual learning environment. The central question in this litigation has been whether these acts of copying fall within the fair use doctrine in US copyright law. In answering this, a key question for the US courts – and one relevant to other jurisdictions with free exceptions for education, such as the UK – has been whether existing and potential licensing activity is relevant to the question of whether an exception applies. This case note discusses how market effect has been analysed in Georgia State, including the recent rejection by the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit of a strongly empirical approach to market harm.
Psychopathy and Female Gender: Phenotypic Expression and Comorbidity; A Study Comparing a Sample of Women Hospitalized in Italy's Maximum Security Facility with Women Who were Criminally Sentenced and Imprisoned,

AbstractVarious studies have shown that women with psychopathy tend to commit crimes that are less violent than those of psychopathic men. The present study was designed to address the influence of psychopathy on the crimes committed by female offenders. A national sample of female offenders found NGRI or of diminished responsibility and at risk for criminal recidivism (OPG patients) was compared with a sample of female offenders who were convicted and imprisoned. Results of this comparison between the two groups of female offenders indicate that psychopathy is a transversal psychopathological dimension which may or may not be associated with other mental disorders. In both samples, the most commonly reported offenses among women with high PCL‐R scores were minor offenses, not particularly violent, but they appear to be related to typical psychopathic features such as superficial charm, pathological lying, and manipulation.
Dielectric Spectroscopy of Palm Olein During Batch Deep Frying and Their Relation with Degradation Parameters

Published: March 2019

AbstractTotal polar compounds (TPC) and free fatty acids (FFA) are important indicators in evaluating the quality of frying oil. Conventional methods to determine TPC and FFA are often time consuming, involved laboratory analyses which required skilled personnel and used substantial amount of harmful solvent. In this study, dielectric spectroscopy technique was used to investigate the relation between dielectric property of refined, bleached and deodorized palm olein (RBDPO) during deep frying with TPC and FFA. In total, 150 batches of French fries were intermittently fried at 185 ± 5 °C for 7 hr a day over 5 consecutive days. A total of 30 frying oil samples were collected. The dielectric property of frying oil samples were measured using impedance analyzer with frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 10 MHz. The TPC of frying oil samples were measured with a Testo 270, while the FFA analysis was done using Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) test method. Results showed that dielectric constant, TPC and FFA of RBDPO increased as the frying time increased. Dielectric constant increased from 3.09 to 3.17, while TPC and FFA increased from 9.96 to 19.52 and from 0.08% to 0.36%, respectively. Partial least square (PLS) analysis produced good prediction of TPC and FFA with the application of genetic algorithm (GA). Model developed for prediction of TPC and FFA yielded highly significant correlation with R2 of 0.91 and 0.95, respectively and both had root mean square error in cross‐validation (RMSECV) of 1.06%. This study demonstrates the potential of dielectric spectroscopy in monitoring palm olein degradation during frying.Practical ApplicationThe application of dielectric spectroscopy to detect degradation of palm olein during frying was studied. The dielectric property of palm olein during frying has successfully correlated with TPC and FFA. The model developed in this study could be used for the development of a sensing system for palm olein degradation monitoring.
Aquatic Plant and Dissolved Oxygen Changes in a Reference‐Condition Prairie Stream Subjected to Experimental Nutrient Enrichments
Authors: Suplee Michael W. , Sada Rosie , Feldman David L. 
Published: March 2019

AbstractEffects of controlled nutrient additions on a prairie stream were studied using a before‐after‐control‐impact paired design. The site is in a reference condition with low soluble nitrate (NO3) and phosphate (soluble reactive phosphorus [SRP]) in summer (3 μg NO3‐N/L, 4 μg SRP/L). Nutrients were added to two reaches over the growing season at two levels (Low Dose — 39 μg NO3‐N/L and 4.4 SRP/L; High Dose — 119 μg NO3‐N/L and 15.6 μg SRP/L). Continuously measured dissolved oxygen (DO) and changes in aquatic flora were compared to an upstream Control. Enrichment led microalgae and filamentous algae to increase in density, areal coverage, and thickness, and the magnitude of the changes were largely concordant with dosing (more in the High Dose); algal growth also suppressed macrophytes in the High Dose. Enrichment caused significant increases in diel DO swings whose magnitudes were consistent with dosing level. In the High Dose, benthic algae flourished in the growing season and then senesced en masse in fall. The decomposing algae led DO to crash (ca. 0 mg/L on the bottom), but DO impacts were out‐of‐sync with peak algal growth and photosynthesis, which occurred weeks earlier. This finding provides a plausible explanation as to why high DO delta in streams impacts aquatic life even when concurrently measured DO is not low. When DO crashed, DO was longitudinally patchy, some areas having low DO near the bottom, others near saturation. Geomorphology and exposure to wind may have caused this pattern.
Safety of CT‐guided cervical nerve root corticosteroid injections

Published: March 2019

AbstractIntroductionComputed tomography‐guided cervical nerve root corticosteroid injections are a commonly performed procedure for cervical radiculopathy. There have been major complications such as spinal cord infarction and posterior circulation stroke reported mostly with X‐ray fluoroscopic‐guided methods, however, there is relatively little data on the safety of newer CT‐guided methods. The purpose of this study was to identify any major complications and evaluate the rate of minor complications from CT‐guided cervical nerve root corticosteroid injections performed in a tertiary public hospital.MethodsFour hundred and three CT‐guided cervical nerve root injection procedures were identified over a period from July 2015 to January 2018 using the radiology information system (RIS) and data collected about the technique and any immediate complications. Patient follow‐up and delayed complications were then reviewed, either via outpatient clinic records or telephone consultation.ResultsTwo hundred and eighty‐six procedures were performed by radiology registrars or fellows, and 117 by radiologists, most commonly via an anterolateral approach and injecting 4 mg (in 1 mL) of dexamethasone. Follow‐up data were obtained for all 403 procedures and identified 16 minor complications, but no major neurovascular complications.ConclusionThe overall recorded rate of minor complications with CT‐guided nerve root injection was 4.0% with no major neurovascular complications, suggesting that CT‐guided transforaminal cervical corticosteroid injection is a safe procedure.
Are orthopaedic surgeons reading radiology reports? A Trans‐Tasman Survey
Authors: Kruger Paul , Lynskey Samuel , Sutherland Alasdair 
Published: March 2019

AbstractIntroductionThe attitudes of orthopaedic surgeons regarding radiology reporting is not well‐described in the literature. We surveyed Orthopaedic Surgeons in Australia and New Zealand to assess if they routinely review formal radiology reports.MethodsAn anonymized, 14 question online survey was distributed to consultant surgeons of the Australian and New Zealand Orthopaedic Associations (AOA, NZOA).ResultsTwo hundred respondents completed the survey (Total number of Fellows: 283 NZOA, 1185 AOA). 18.5% of respondents always reviewed the formal Radiology report, 44.5% most of the time, 35% sometimes and 2% never. By imaging modality, MRI reports were the most frequently reviewed (92%), followed by ultrasound (74%) and nuclear medicine (63%). Only 10% of surgeons consulted formal reports for plain radiography. 55% of surgeons were still likely to disagree with the MRI report, followed by 46% for plain radiography. In cases of disagreement, only 21% of surgeons would always contact the reporting radiologist. The majority of Surgeons (85.5%) think there should be more collaboration between the disciplines, although only 50.5% had regular attendance of a Radiologist at their departmental audit.ConclusionsThis survey reveals that the majority of orthopaedic surgeons are not routinely reading radiology reports. This points towards a need for further interdisciplinary collaboration. To our knowledge, this is the first survey directly assessing attitudes of orthopaedic surgeons towards radiology reports.
Characters ofNummulites multiplicutiospiralisn. sp. from the Qarara Formation, Maghagha, Nile Valley, Egypt
Authors: AL MENOUFY Safia 
Published: March 2019

AbstractNummulites multiplicutiospiralisn. sp. is described and illustrated for both generations from a claystone of Lutetian age in the Middle Eocene Qarara Formation, Maghagha, Nile valley, Egypt. Previously considered to beNummulites gizehensis, we describe this form as a new species based on diameter of the test and protoconch sizes, septal shape and granulations. The primary feature of this species is spiral multiplication, seen in spiral section. The species is also characterized morphologically by lenticular to flat tests with rounded periphery, wrinkled to broadly meandering septal filaments and few granules on the periphery in microspheric forms. The granules are spirally arranged on the septal filaments in megalospheric forms. Chambers are longer than high and the spire is irregular. The new taxon belongs to theNummulites partschiGroup, SubgroupN. gizehensis. Reflexive coiling in the spiral may develop through ontogeny as inN. rollandi, the species which was considered to be an index species in the southern Tethys (Boukhary et al., 1982 and Boukhary et al. 2010). The characters of the new species, as well as its retrogenesis and reflexive coiling, should be further studied in general inNummulitesspp., to understand the importance of such characters phylogenetically.
