Environmental Management Accounting and Environmental Performance
Authors: Mohamed Rapiah 
Published: March 2019

This paper investigates the relationship between environmental management accounting (EMA) and environmental performance in the Malaysian small-medium (SMEs) sized manufacturing sector. The issue of environmental have affected many businesses regardless of the types and sizes of organisation. Ferreira et.al. (2010) argue that the use of EMA technique is not driven by the size of a company, but by the type of industry it relates to. EMA practices involve the tracking, tracing and treatment of costs, earnings and savings incurred in relation to the companyâ€™s environmental-related activities Burrit et. al. (2002),. Environmental accounting is still new in Malaysia and the managers and accountants are lack of knowledge in this matter (Jusoh et al., 2018), therefore it is need more empirical evidence on EMA practices especially in developing countries, such as Malaysia. Thus, this study is important to explain the current practice of EMA in SMEs and its influence on environmental performance.

The results reveal that the physical EMA has the highest mean compared to monetary EMA. The results show that the level of EMA practices are not at an encouraging level. The regression results indicate that both types of EMA practices (monetary and physical) have a positive significant effect on environmental performance.

Authors: Mohsin Mehdi Abbass , Idrus Mohammad Muzhafar Bin 
Published: March 2019

The current study proposes to give an insight about iconic note as a concept of motivation in literary language applied on one of the prominent novels in African- American literature which is Morrison's Sula. Iconic property is considered as one of the prominent principles in motivation of language in which there is a similarity between form and concept. The study of the iconic note in literary works has become significant after the emergence of modernist in arts and literature whereas prior to that, Iconic note as a source of motivation was considered as salient characteristic of primitive language and poetic language only. The problem of the study will explain how Morrison's text constructed to decline from the concept of arbitrariness and to meet the concept of motivation. By achieving the objective of the research, the study will focus on two important tropes which are metaphor and metonymy and how they co-occur in literary text to serve as ingredients of iconic perspective of motivated language.

Published: March 2019

Mesenteric cyst is rare with a variable clinical presentation. The clinical presentation is not characteristic and the preoperative imaging although suggestive but not diagnostic. In most cases, the diagnosis is confirmed following surgical exploration. We report a case of chylolymphaticus variety of mesenteric cyst in18-year-old girl, who was presented to us with diffuse abdominal pain and lump in the lower abdomen for 14 days. Ultrasonography (USG) of the abdomen revealed large cystic lesion(12x10.8x11.4cm, volume77cc) in the abdominal cavity containing dense echogenic debris within, with no obvious flow in the wall-suggestive of twisted chocolate cyst. Exploration of the abdomen revealed a solitary cyst containing milky fluid about 55 cm distal to dudenojejunal flexure and twisted cyanosed coils of intestine. Histopathology of the excised cyst was consistent with chylolymphaticus cyst (Mesenteric cyst)

Patient use of an online triage platform: a mixed-methods retrospective exploration in UK primary care
Authors: Eccles Abi , Hopper Michael , Turk Amadea , Atherton Helen 
Published: March 2019

BackgroundRecent years have seen the introduction of online triage allowing patients to describe their problem via an online form. Subsequently, a GP telephones the patient, conducting a telephone consultation or arranging a face-to-face consultation.AimThis study aimed to explore patterns-of-use and patients’ experiences of using an online triage system.Design and settingThis retrospective study analysed routinely collected data (from all practices using the ‘askmyGP’ platform for the duration of the study period, 19 May 2017 to 31 July 2017), using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data originated from an online triaging platform used by patients in nine general practices across the UK.MethodData from 5447 patients were quantitatively analysed to describe characteristics of users, patterns-of-use, and reasons given by patients for using the platform. Free-text comments left by patients (n = 569) on their experience of use were qualitatively analysed.ResultsHighest levels of use were observed in females (65.5%, n = 3570) and those aged 25–34 years. Patterns of use were high between 0800 and 0959, and on Mondays and Tuesdays. Use outside of GP practice opening hours was low. Common reasons for using the platform were for medication-related enquiries, for administrative requests, and to report a specific symptom. Comments left by patients suggested advantages to using the platform, for example, convenience and the written format, but these did not extend to all users.ConclusionPatterns-of-use and patient types were in line with typical contacts to GP practices. Though the age of users was broad, highest levels of use were from younger patients. The perceived advantages to using online triage, such as convenience and ease of use, are often context dependent.

Authors: Fujihara Masayaki , Lapong Edward , Izumi Tomoki , Kobayashi Noriyuki 
Published: March 2019

The suspended sediment load of a small agricultural river was estimated using suspended sediment rating curves established using discharge-suspended sediment discharge correlation and stratified aggregate or seasonally clustered data; and the results were correlated to the land use of the watershed. The results showed that: (a) on regression, nonlinear least squares method in establishing rating curves produced significantly better and more efficient suspended sediment rating curves; (b) seasonally clustering the data produced better suspended sediment rating curves; (c) based on statistical and physical relations, suspended sediment load in the catchment followed a clear cyclical seasonal pattern; and (d) the land use and agricultural activities, other than rainfall, had a significant impact on the temporal distribution and variability of the suspended sediment load.

Published: March 2019

Lead has multiple detrimental effects in developing children and pregnant women. It can cause behavioral problems and decrease in IQ among children while complications may occur among pregnant women. This research is focused on two plants, Epipremnum aureum (money plant) and Bougainvillea spectabilis (bougainvillea), and their ability to sequester lead from air released by lead-based paint. The age of the plants (young or mature) and the type of plants were the factors used in the study. Each plant was placed inside a wooden compartment for seven days, where the interior surface was coated with lead-based paint. For baseline reading, one gram of leaves was collected from each plant before each was placed inside the painted compartment. Leaf samples were collected after the plants were placed inside the painted wooden compartments. The leaf samples were then subjected under atomic absorption spectroscopy to determine the amount of lead present. Results revealed that both Epipremnum aureum (money plant) and Bougainvillea spectabilis (bougainvillea) are capable of absorbing lead released in air from the lead-based paint coated compartments with differences at 2.4 ppm and 14 ppm; respectively. Statistical analysis showed that there were no significant differences on the lead absorption abilities of Bougainvillea spectabilis and Epipremnum aureum based on age (P=0.44). However, there was a significant difference in their capacity to absorb lead released in air based on the type of plant (P=0.009).

Community-Based Organizations: Role on Coastal Resource Management in the Sarangani Bay Area
Authors: Calva Joy C. 
Published: March 2019

In areas along Sarangani Bay, there is a substantial supply of marine resources. Unfortunately, the demands, at times, exceed the supply so intervention like establishing Coastal Resource Management (CRM) is an important mechanism to sustain resources. This study documented the community-based initiatives of various organizations among municipalities and barangays along Sarangani Bay that support its role in the coastal resource management in the area. Also identified are the factors affecting the aforementioned role. The researcher employed Key Informant Interview (KII) among officers and members of organizations and officials of local government units (LGUs) in the municipalities of Sarangani Province and General Santos City (SARGEN) and also retrieved available documents for content analysis. It is evident that crucial to the success of the community-based organizations is the support and funding coming from local and international agencies in order to initiate putting of marine protected areas, implementing bantay-dagat, promoting clean-up drive and solid waste management, and introducing alternative livelihood projects. There are two success stories that serve as proofs of continuing initiatives of the organizations. Further, there are factors that either facilitate or hinder the success of the community-based organizations.

Authors: Espesor Jovanie Camacho 
Published: March 2019

The Blaan communities in the hinterlands of Sarangani are continually exposed to different forms andtypes of environmental hazards. These hazards are brought about by disasters such as droughts, landslide, soilerosion, flooding and infestation of rats and swarm of locusts on agricultural crops. This paper seeks to providea thick and rich description of the indigenous knowledge of the Blaans on disaster management and environmentalconservation. It discusses and analyzes various environmental hazards identified and experiencedby the Blaans in the mountain ecosystems of Sarangani. Another aim of this study is to analyze thefunction of the social network of the tribe and their coping mechanisms in confronting the effects of naturaldisasters. This study utilizes first-hand information that are gathered through intensive ethnographic field observations in the hinterlands of Sarangani. Participatory Rapid Field Appraisal strategies were used to engage the members of the community as primary participants of the study. Moreover, key informant interviewsamong senior members of Blaan tribes and focus group discussions are used to supplement information generated through participatory research approaches. This study concludes that the Blaans in the mountainous parts of Sarangani have immense collective wisdom on disaster management and environmental conservation,which they have learned from their forefathers. Nonetheless, this vast knowledge system of the Blaans is gradually eroding due to dwindling interest of the younger generations and disappearance of the natural landscape that serves as the social laboratory for the Blaans to learn about the kanfulong de tribu.

Published: March 2019

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections can induce severe complications in immunosuppressed patients. Currently, ganciclovir represents the preferred treatment option; however, in patients with resistance or toxicity related to ganciclovir, the therapeutic options are limited. Cellular immunity plays an important role in the control of viral infections. Adoptive T-cell therapy can contribute to recovering immunological function in immunosuppressed patients. Selective T-cell depletion targeting CD45RA enhances early T-cell recovery and can represent a salvage therapy. In this study, an immunocompromised non-transplanted patient with CMV disease and toxicity to conventional therapy was successfully treated by adoptive transfer of CD45RA-depleted T-cells.
