Forensic accounting: a blend of knowledge
Authors: Kumari Tiwari Reshma , Debnath Jasojit 
Published: February 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop an insight into the skill sets that forensic accounting practitioners need to possess to succeed in the practice of forensic accounting.Design/methodology/approachThe present paper is based on a literature review.FindingsForensic accounting education is multi-disciplinary. It encompasses auditing, accounting, statistics, information technology (IT), legal rules and human skills. It is similar to auditing, yet different. Hands-on statistical tools act like an additional equipment for quick delivery of the output when data are large. Proficiency in using IT tools is a must to detect cybercrimes. Human skills are gaining importance because of social engineering attacks. Forensic accountants must be acquainted and updated with the relevant laws. Various investigative skills and knowledge are also essential in forensic accounting.Practical implicationsForensic accounting education can be developed as a separate discipline for proper regulation of forensic accounting profession. In that case, the need for development of separate forensic accounting standards may arise. This issue needs to be dwelt upon by the academia and professional bodies.Originality/valueThe paper will enable the universities/institutes to design the appropriate curricula, assigning due consideration to the required knowledge and skill sets in forensic accounting education.
Microwave and electrochemical assisted synthesis of chlorinated iron phthalocyanine nanoparticles
Authors: Seyyedi Behnam 
Published: February 2017

Purpose
The paper introduces a microwave and electrochemical-assisted method for synthesis of chlorine-derived iron phthalocyanine pigment and oxygen reduction reaction catalyst nanoparticles. The aims of this study are to investigate the possibility of nano-scale particle size (<35 nm), high-efficiency product reaction, remove acidic wastewater, time optimization and maximize number of chlorine on aromatic rings.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper presents a combined synthesis technique, which does not have the problems of the conventional methods. Chlorinated iron phthalocyanine nanoparticles have been fabricated using phthalic anhydride, urea (high purity), electrochemical-generated iron (II) cations and microwave irradiation as promoter. The approach yields a product of high quality, uniform particle size distribution and high efficiency and that was environment-friendly.

Findings
The particle size and time needed for the production of chlorinated iron phthalocyanine were about 35 nm and 7 min, respectively.

Research limitations/implications
The catalyst, that is used in this method, should be weighed carefully. In addition, the solvent should be a saturated solution of NaCl in water.

Practical implications
The method provides a simple and practical solution to improving the synthesis of an iron-based catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction.

Originality/value
The combined method for synthesis of chlorinated iron phthalocyanine was novel and can find numerous applications in the industry, especially as an oxygen reduction reaction non-precious metal catalyst.

Published: February 2017

AbstractCytokeratin 19 fragment 21‐1 (CYFRA 21‐1) has been used as a tumor marker for several malignancies. However, to date, no studies have assessed whether CYFRA 21‐1 could be a useful marker for extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). The present study aimed to evaluate the significance of CYFRA 21‐1 as a serum tumor marker for EMPD progression. Concentrations of serum CYFRA 21‐1 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in 13 cases of EMPD were measured prior to undergoing treatment at Sapporo Medical University Hospital from January 2014 to May 2016. Four of the 13 patients had lymph node metastases at diagnosis, but none had distant metastases. Immunohistochemistry indicated that all 13 primary tumors and four metastatic tumors in lymph nodes were positive for cytokeratin 19. Although none of the 13 patients showed high serum CEA levels, six patients (46.2%) had elevated serum CYFRA 21‐1. Furthermore, CYFRA 21‐1 was reduced in association with post‐treatment tumor reduction in all six patients. Among these six patients, four developed recurrence and metastasis during the follow‐up period. CYFRA 21‐1 was re‐elevated in all four of these patients; however, serum CEA was elevated only in the patient with distant metastasis. These results suggest that CYFRA 21‐1 is more sensitive compared with CEA, and can be useful as a tumor marker for evaluating tumor progression and treatment efficacy in patients with EMPD.
Informed consent in emergency care research: An oxymoron?
Authors: Furyk Jeremy S , Lawton Luke D , Ting Joseph YS , McD Taylor David 
Published: February 2017

AbstractEmergency care needs to be underpinned by the highest quality evidence. However, research involving critically ill patients in the emergency setting has unique ethical, logistical and regulatory issues. Informed consent is a well‐established principle in conventional research. In this article, we discuss informed consent as it pertains to the difficulties of research in the emergency setting. Alternatives to informed consent are discussed. Human research ethics committees require a greater understanding of consent issues in emergency care research for Australia to remain competitive internationally.

Published: February 2017

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of ED doctors with variable training levels in detecting acute appendicitis, without access to advanced imaging in admitted patients with acute abdominal pain in a university hospital of Hong Kong.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on data collected from prospectively identified patients presenting to the ED with acute abdominal pain and admitted to either a surgical or emergency medical ward between December 2011 and October 2012. Their ED diagnoses with regard to acute appendicitis status were compared with their final diagnoses on discharge from hospital. The gold standard was a histopathological diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The diagnostic accuracy was compared against that generally achieved by computed tomography (CT) scanning in other studies (93–98%), the best diagnostic test currently available for acute appendicitis. A good diagnostic test should have an overall accuracy rate of at least 95%.ResultsA total of 1653 patients were included in the study. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of ED physicians’ diagnosis of acute appendicitis were 81% (73–87%), 84% (82–86%), 31% (28–34%) and 98% (97–99%), respectively, giving an overall diagnostic accuracy of 84% (82–85%). The overall accuracy for separate female and male cohorts were 79% (76–82%) and 89% (83–91%), respectively.ConclusionsDiagnostic accuracy of emergency doctors with variable training levels and no access to advanced imaging in a Hong Kong hospital in detecting appendicitis in patients with acute abdominal pain is higher in male patients than in female patients, but lower than that achieved by CT scanning.
Functional Applications of Lignocellulolytic Enzymes in the Fruit and Vegetable Processing Industries
Authors: Toushik Sazzad Hossen , Lee Kyung‐Tai , Lee Jin‐Sung , Kim Keun‐Sung 
Published: February 2017

AbstractCellulose, hemicellulose, pectin (carbohydrate), and lignin (noncarbohydrate) polymers are the main substrates of lignocellulose‐degrading enzymes. They are present in large amounts in the primary cell wall and dietary fibers of major fruits and vegetables. During processing of fruits and vegetables to the corresponding final food products, lignocellulosic substrates are hydrolyzed by different lignocellulolytic enzymes. Currently, lignocellulolytic enzymes such as cellulases, xylanases, pectinases, and laccases are extensively used during the processing of fruits and vegetables, in applications like texturizing and flavoring of products in the food industries. The present article provides an updated overview of functional applications of lignocellulolytic enzymes in the juice processing, oil extraction, and alcoholic beverage processing industries. Extensive use of lignocellulolytic enzymes in different food processing industries not only accelerates the production rates but also improves product quality. It is also possible to ensure the efficient use of fruits and vegetables globally by employing lignocellulolytic enzymes in the corresponding processing industries to convert them into food commodities, which will not only raise their economic value in the global market but also increase food availability, which will help mitigate nutritional problems worldwide.
The Global Pollen Project: a new tool for pollen identification and the dissemination of physical reference collections
Authors: Martin Andrew C. , Harvey William J. 
Published: February 2017

Summary

The study of fossil and modern pollen assemblages provides essential information about vegetation dynamics in space and time. A major methodological component of these studies is the identification of pollen grains to plant family, genus and species. This identification is achieved through the use of pollen keys and reference collections of physical specimens, which are regional in scope, disparate and incomplete, slowing the identification process. Reference material is also held in museums and research institutions, where access can be limited. Identification is particularly challenging for those new to the field, such as graduate students.
To aid the identification of pollen grains, and provide virtual access to reference material, we present a new online tool: the Global Pollen Project (https://globalpollenproject.org). The project aims to enable people to share and identify pollen grains and through this, will create an open, free and accessible reference library for pollen identification.
The online tool has been developed as an open, peer‐reviewed database of global pollen, where content and expertise is crowdsourced from across the world. The tool enables: (i) the submission and identification of unknown pollen grains; (ii) the submission and digitisation of existing ‘physical’ reference collections and (iii) the availability of a free public database of pollen images and their metadata, for use in scientific research and education. The tool connects to external services, including the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and Neotoma Palaeoecology Database, to provide botanical descriptions and occurrence data for each taxon, alongside pollen images and metadata.
The database currently holds information for over 1500 species, from Europe, the Americas and Asia. As the collection grows, we envision easier pollen identification, and greater use of the database for novel research on pollen morphology and other characteristics, especially when linked to other palaeoecological databases, such as Neotoma.

BackgroundThe bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of major thoracic surgery. The purpose of this work is to investigate the risk factors associated with the development of fistulas after lobectomy and pneumonectomy.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the records of 835 patients who underwent major anatomic lung resection at our centre from January 2003 to December 2013. Of these, 49 underwent pneumonectomy (P group) and 786 lobectomy (L group).ResultsA total of 18 patients (2.6%) developed a BPF in the postoperative period, of which there were 11 in the L group (1.3%) and seven in the P group (14.28%). The 30‐day mortality was 0.05% (one patient after right pneumonectomy). In the L group, three patients developed a fistula after a left lobectomy and eight after a right one, of which four developed after bilobectomy. Univariate analysis showed that induction therapy, lower lobectomy, manual suture of the bronchus, ‘not covered’ bronchial stump, empyema, postoperative anaemia and pulmonary infections and mechanical ventilation >24 h are associated with the development of fistulas after lobectomy. Multivariate analysis confirmed that induction therapy, manual closure of the bronchus, postoperative pulmonary infections and anaemia are the main risk factors involved in our series. In the P group, four patients developed a fistula after a right pneumonectomy and three after a left one. Postoperative empyema and pulmonary infections, mechanical ventilation >24 h and female gender emerged as the main risk factors on univariate analysis, while on multivariate analysis, only the female gender presented a trend towards significance.ConclusionsPostoperative pulmonary infections, empyema and mechanical ventilation >24 h are strongly associated with the development of BPFs after both pneumonectomy and lobectomy in our series.
An Informational Right to the City? Code, Content, Control, and the Urbanization of Information
Authors: Shaw Joe , Graham Mark 
Published: February 2017

AbstractHenri Lefebvre talked of the “right to the city” alongside a right to information. As the urban environment becomes increasingly layered by abstract digital representation, Lefebvre's broader theory warrants application to the digital age. Through considering what is entailed by the urbanization of information, this paper examines the problems and implications of any “informational right to the city”. In directing Tony Benn's five questions of power towards Google, arguably the world's most powerful mediator of information, this paper exposes processes that occur when geographic information is mediated by powerful digital monopolies. We argue that Google currently occupies a dominant share of any informational right to the city. In the spirit of Benn's final question—“How do we get rid of you?”—the paper seeks to apply post‐political theory in exploring a path to the possibility of more just information geographies.

Political dependence, social scrutiny, and corporate philanthropy: Evidence from disaster relief
Authors: Gao Yongqiang , Hafsi Taïeb 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThis study explores why and how firms respond to social demands through philanthropic giving in the context of a severe natural disaster. Drawing on Marquis and Qian's organizational response model to government signals, we integrate resource dependence theory and institutional theory to build a two‐step model of organizational response to social needs, in situations of disaster relief. We argue that firms depending more on the government for support are more likely to donate in disaster relief, while firms who receive more scrutiny from the government and the general public and firms having more slack resources are likely to donate more. Evidence from Chinese listed companies' donations to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake largely supports our predictions. This study provides a more precise understanding of the corporate philanthropic decision process, decoupling the drivers of philanthropic giving, and those determining the amount given. Theoretical and practical implications are suggested.

Published: February 2017

AbstractBackgroundThe use of autogenous block grafts harvested from intraoral donor sites has proven to be effective for the reconstruction of horizontal bone defects.PurposeThe objective of this study was to analyze implant success and the rate of block graft resorption 10 years after ridge augmentation to elucidate contributing factors influencing graft maintenance.Materials and MethodsA staged horizontal block graft augmentation was performed in 52 implant sites exhibiting severe horizontal bone atrophy using autogenous block grafts protected by DBBM and collagen membranes. The crest width was assessed intraoperatively at surgery and at re‐entry after 6 months. At the 10 year reexamination clinical and radiographic parameters were assessed using cone beam computed tomography.ResultsThe 10‐year implant success rate amounted to 98.1%, with minimal peri‐implant bone loss (−0.17 mm for the maxilla, −0.09 mm for the mandible). The surface resorption rate after 10 years was 7.7% (0.38 mm). Grafts originating from the chin demonstrated significantly better graft maintenance at 10 years compared to retromolar grafts. Recipient site and age had no significant impact on graft resorption, whereas females showed more bone loss at the 10‐year examination.ConclusionsLateral ridge augmentation using autogenous block grafts and guided bone regeneration demonstrated a favorable success rate of 98.1% with minimal block graft resorption of 7.7% after 10 years. Modulating factors were origin of the graft and gender.
Anisotropic domain structures of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbZrO3–PbTiO3 single crystals with high ferroelectric phase transition temperature

Published: February 2017

AbstractThe anisotropic domain structures and local piezoresponse of rhombohedral Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbZrO3–PbTiO3 single crystals with high ferroelectric phase transition temperature (TFE‐FE≥120°C) were systematically investigated by vector piezoresponse force microscopy. The typical size of labyrinthine domain pattern for [001]C sample was in the range of 100‐200 nm, revealing its relaxor feature. While the [011]C sample exhibited ordered ribbon‐shaped domain pattern with preferential alignment along <011> direction since the modulation effect of polar nanoregions. For [111]C sample, it had messy and featureless domain patterns. For as‐grown crystal, the incorporation of Zr4+ cation in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 system resulted in that the long‐range coulomb interactions of the charged ions in the short range order regions were weakened, leading to an increased relaxor feature. Concurrently, the incorporation of Zr4+ cation enhanced the Pb‐B repulsion intensity, resulting in an improved TFE‐FE. Temperature‐dependent properties of as‐grown crystal exhibited good temperature stability from 30 to 120°C, indicating it is a promising material for actuator and ultrasonic transducer applications.

AbstractAims/IntroductionTo identify candidate serum molecules associated with the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus, differential serum proteomic analysis was carried out on a spontaneous animal model of type 2 diabetes mellitus without obesity, the Long‐Evans Agouti (LEA) rat.Materials and MethodsWe carried out quantitative proteomic analysis using serum samples from 8‐ and 16‐week‐old LEA and control Brown Norway (BN) rats (n = 4/group). Differentially expressed proteins were validated by multiple reaction monitoring analysis using the sera collected from 8‐, 16‐, and 24‐week‐old LEA (n = 4/each group) and BN rats (n = 5/each group). Among the validated proteins, we also examined the possible relevance of the human homolog of serine protease inhibitor A3 (SERPINA3) to type 2 diabetes mellitus.ResultsThe use of 2‐D fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis analysis and the following liquid chromatography‐multiple reaction monitoring analysis showed that the serum levels of five proteins were differentially changed between LEA rats and BN rats at all three time‐points examined. Among the five proteins, SERPINA3N was increased significantly in the sera of LEA rats compared with age‐matched BN rats. The serum level of SERPINA3 was also found to be significantly higher in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients than in healthy control participants. Furthermore, glycated hemoglobin, fasting insulin and estimated glomerular filtration rate were independently associated with the SERPINA3 levels.ConclusionsThese findings suggest a possible role for SERPINA3 in the development of the early stages of type 2 diabetes mellitus, although further replication studies and functional investigations regarding their role are required.

AbstractBackgroundMalignant melanoma and non‐melanoma skin cancers are among the fastest increasing malignancies in many countries. With the help of new tools, such as teledermoscopy referrals between primary health care and dermatology clinics, the management of these patients could be made more efficient.ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic agreement and interobserver concordance achieved when assessing referrals sent through a mobile teledermoscopic referral system as compared to referrals sent via the current paper‐based system without images.MethodsThe referral information from 80 teledermoscopy referrals and 77 paper referrals were evaluated by six Swedish dermatologists. They were asked to answer questions about the probable diagnosis, the priority, and a management decision.ResultsTeledermoscopy generally resulted in higher diagnostic agreement, better triaging and more malignant tumours being booked directly to surgery. The largest difference between the referral methods was seen for invasive melanomas. Referrals for benign lesions were significantly more often correctly resent to primary health care with teledermoscopy. However, referrals for cases of melanoma in situ were also incorrectly resent five times. The interobserver concordance was moderate with both methods.ConclusionBy adding clinical and dermoscopic images to referrals, the triage process for both benign and dangerous skin tumours can be improved. With teledermoscopy, patients with melanoma especially can receive treatment more swiftly.
