Abstract
This research is entitled whether green accounting and corporate governance play a role in increasing firm value: evidence from Indonesia. This research is important to do because seeing the rapid advancement of technology and industry will have an impact on environmental damage and its operations. The greater the impact that occurs by the company's activities on environmental problems, it will affect the company's value. Firm value reflects the level of public trust in the company. The importance of company value is not only for investors but also for business continuity. On the other hand, corporate governance is also a special concern in an effort to increase company value. Corporate governance becomes the mediator in regulating interactions between corporate entities in order to increase company value through good company performance. Therefore, this study was made to further investigate empirically whether green accounting and corporate governance can affect the value of manufacturing companies in the basic and chemical industry sub-sectors. This research is expected to be able to help company stakeholders in managing the impact of the business environment, as well as provide further information to investors about other non-financial factors that can affect the value of the company and its performance that may not be covered in the financial statements.

Published: October 2024

A field experiment was conducted in 2019 to evaluate the effect of row spacing on yield contributing characters of three advanced sesame mutants viz. SM-001, SM-002, SM-003 with one check variety (Binatil-2) at two BINA substation farms, Ishwardi and Chapainawabganj. The experiment was laid out in a RCBD with three replications. Four row spacings viz., 20 cm, 25 cm, 30 cm, and 35 cm were used as treatments. Among different advanced lines/variety, SM-002 produced the highest seed yield (1.07 t ha-1) followed by Binatil-2 (1.05 t ha-1). Among different row spacing, 25 cm showed the highest seed yield (1.11 t ha-1) followed by 30 cm (1.02 t ha-1) with same statistical rank. Between two locations, Chapainawabganj performed better than Ishwardi. The interaction effect between genotype and row spacing revealed that (SM-003) V3 and (Binatil-2) V4 performed best at 20 cm row spacing whereas SM-001 and SM-002 performed best at 25 cm row spacing. The interaction effect of row spacing and location, SM-002 produced the maximum seed yield (1.14 t ha-1) in 25 cm row spacing at Chapainawabganj. The interaction effect of mutants/variety, row spacing, and locations showed that mutant line SM-003 produced maximum seed yield (1.19 t ha-1) at 30 cm row spacing in Chapainawabganj.

Published: October 2024

Despite the economic potential of wheat for food security, blast disease is one of the major constraints to wheat production in warm and humid areas. Silicon (Si) increases crop yields and resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. The effect of various Si sources, including Na2SiO3, MgSiO3, CaSiO3, and rice hull ash (RHA), on suppressing wheat blast (WB) incidence was studied at Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture field from November 2019 to March 2020 using a complete randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Total 42 plastic pots were filled with the recommended doses of fertilizers and Si. On 17 days after inoculation (DAI), the lowest WB incidence (83.16%) and severity matrix (80.20%) were found with the treatment of CaSiO3 @ 100 kg ha-1. At 15 DAI, the same treatment reduced the WB incidence and severity matrix by 21.10% and 41.73%, respectively. Most yield indicators were significantly improved by the Si fertilizers, except for grain spike-1 quantity, weight, and thousand grain weight (g). However, pots that were fertilized with Si distinguished out from both the control and absolute control groups. While CaSiO3 at 75 kg ha-1, RHA at 6.0 t ha-1, and MgSiO3 at 100 kg ha-1 produced respectable yields, the maximum was achieved by CaSiO3 at 100 kg ha-1. There was a significant positive relationship between the leaf concentrations of K and Si, with the highest concentration found in plants treated with CaSiO3. A large number of yield metrics showed moderate to strong positive associations with leaf K and Si concentrations, whereas the disease severity matrix revealed the maximum significant negative correlation with these elements. The best outcomes were obtained by applying Si as CaSiO3 @100 kg ha-1, which has potential as an environmentally acceptable source for controlling WB disease and increasing wheat yields.

Published: October 2024

BackgroundAnkylosing spondylitis (AS) is a connective tissue disease that primarily affects spinal joints, peripheral joints, and paravertebral soft tissues, leading to joint stiffness and spinal deformity. Growing evidence has implicated gut microbiota in the regulation of AS, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Wanfang Data, China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), and China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) databases from the time the databases were created until 30 July 2023. To evaluate changes in α-diversity and the abundance of certain microbiota families in AS, standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) calculations were made. Meta-analyses were performed using STATA 12.0 and the quality of the literature was assessed by following systematic review guidelines.ResultsThis systematic review and meta-analysis included 47 studies, providing insights into the gut microbiota composition in patients with AS compared to healthy controls (HCs). Our findings indicate a significant reduction in gut microbial diversity in patients with AS, as evidenced by a decrease in both richness and evenness. Specifically, the Shannon index showed a moderate decrease (SMD = -0.27, 95% CI: -0.49, -0.04; P &lt; 0.001), suggesting a less diverse microbial ecosystem in patients with AS. The Chao1 index further confirmed this trend, with a larger effect size (SMD = -0.44, 95% CI: -0.80, -0.07; P &lt; 0.001), indicating a lower species richness. The Simpson index also reflected a significant reduction in evenness (SMD = -0.30, 95% CI: -0.53, -0.06; P &lt; 0.001). Additionally, patients with AS who received anti-rheumatic combination treatment exhibited a more pronounced reduction in α-diversity compared to untreated patients, highlighting the potential impact of this treatment on gut microbiota balance. In terms of specific microbial families, we observed a significant decrease in the abundance of Bifidobacterium (SMD = -0.42, 95% CI: -2.37, 1.52; P &lt; 0.001), which is known for its beneficial effects on gut health. Conversely, an increase in the abundance of Bacteroidetes was noted (SMD = 0.42, 95% CI: -0.93, 1.76; P &lt; 0.001), suggesting a possible shift in the gut microbiota composition that may be associated with AS pathophysiology.ConclusionOur analysis revealed changes in α-diversity and the relative abundance of specific bacteria in AS. This suggests that targeting the gut microbiota could provide new therapeutic opportunities for treating AS.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk./PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42023450028.
L-shaped association of thiamine intake and risk for peripheral artery disease in US adults: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Dong Zhiyong , Wang Qingyun 
Published: October 2024

BackgroundThe relationship between thiamine intake and risk for peripheral artery disease (PAD) is unknown. We aimed to clarify the role of thiamine intake on risk for PAD and the implications of this relationship. The secondary objective of this study is to explore the potential non-linear dose–response relationship between exposure to thiamine intake and outcome risk for PAD.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study involving 6,112 participants with US adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999–2004). Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline were utilized to substantiate the research objectives.ResultsThe overall prevalence of risk for PAD was 7.9, 51% in males and 49% in females. After multivariable adjustment, lower thiamine intake was significantly and nonlinearly associated with higher risks of PAD among participants. Furthermore, we discovered L-shaped associations (p = 0.082) between thiamine intake and the risk of PAD, with an inflection point at 0.66 mg/day. Accordingly, in the threshold effect analysis, there was an inverse association between dietary thiamine intake and the risk in participants with dietary thiamine intake &lt;0.65 mg/day. Compared to participants with thiamine intake below the inflection points, those with higher levels had a 31% lower risk for PAD (OR, 0.69; 95% CI: 0.51, 0.95). Further subgroup analysis showed no significant interactions between the subgroups (all p values for interaction were &gt; 0.05).ConclusionA non-linear association was revealed, showing that low and high levels of thiamine intake were associated with an increased the risk of peripheral artery disease in American adults. The inflection point at 0.66 mg/day and lower risk of PAD at 0.65–1.13mg/day of dietary thiamine intake may represent intervention targets for lowering the risk of PAD. The findings of this study require further validation and confirmation.

Published: October 2024

PurposeCurrently, there are no reliable indicators for the early identification of patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) who develop resistance to monotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) in detecting early resistance to monotherapy in patients with low-risk GTN.MethodsThis retrospective study included 91 patients with low-risk GTN who received initial monotherapy at Fujian Maternal and Child Health Hospital between 2013 and 2021. The SII and PNI before chemotherapy were calculated from prechemotherapy peripheral blood samples, with cut-off values determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The SII-PNI score ranged from 0 to 2 points and was categorized as follows: a score of 2 points indicated a high SII (≥467.02) and a low PNI (≤51.35); a score of 1 point indicated either a high SII or a low PNI; and a score of 0 points indicated neither a high SII nor a low PNI.ResultsNinety-one patients with low-risk GTN underwent monotherapy, 19 of whom developed resistance, whereas the remaining 72 did not. The SII was significantly greater in chemotherapy-resistant patients than in non-resistant patients (P=0.04), whereas the PNI was markedly lower in chemotherapy-resistant patients (P=0.002). Univariate analysis revealed that cut-off values of 467.02 for the SII (P=0.04) and 51.35 for the PNI (P=0.024) were associated with chemotherapy resistance in patients with low-risk GTN. As the SII-PNI score increased, the proportion of chemotherapy-resistant patients increased (P&lt;0.001), and the time for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) normalization correspondingly increased (P&lt;0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that a high SII-PNI score is an independent risk factor for chemotherapy resistance in patients with low-risk GTN (P=0.001).ConclusionA high SII and low PNI are linked to chemotherapy resistance in patients with low-risk GTN. The pretreatment SII-PNI score is a key indicator for predicting the sensitivity of patients with low-risk GTN to single-agent chemotherapy, aiding in the early identification of individuals at high risk of resistance.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionMalignancy-related ascites (MRA) is a common serious complication of many advanced malignant tumors with high morbidity and mortality. The high hospital expenditures induced by unplanned readmission in patients with MRA have become an urgent issue to the public. We aimed to overall assess the unplanned early readmission rate of patients with MRA and explore the potential risk factors for such readmission.MethodsA retrospective cohort study based on 2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database was performed and patients with MRA were recruited into the analysis. The primary outcome was unplanned 30-day readmission rate and inpatient outcomes. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the potential risk factors for such early readmission.ResultsData obtained from 32,457 patients with MRA were analyzed, and of these 7,799 individuals (24.03%) were unplanned readmitted within 30-day follow-up. The mortality rate in the readmitted population was 15.15%. Patients at younger age were at a higher risk of readmission. The morbidities including hypertension (OR=1.117, 95%CI: 1.054-1.184), hyperlipemia (OR=1.075, 95%CI: 1.009-1.146) and diabetes (OR=1.118, 95%CI: 1.053-1.188), gastrointestinal malignancies and peritoneal procedure significantly increased the risk of 30-day readmission in patients with MRA.DiscussionMore than one in five patients with MRA was unplanned readmitted within 30-day follow-up. The above risk factors should be timely intervened and the corresponding medical care should be strengthened in patients with MRA to lessen the unplanned readmission and improve the readmission outcomes.

BackgroundBreast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant tumor in women. The disease and its subsequent treatment pose a serious burden on the quality of life of patients. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has become one of the crucial strategies for the management of BC. Since the identification of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in mammary tissues, extensive mechanistic research has been conducted on its function. The expression of VDR in BC cells and the tumor microenvironment could be a new prognostic factor for BC after NAC.Patients and MethodsThis observational, single-center study compared data from clinical and histopathological records of 111 female subjects with the expression of VDR in different cellular and tissue components of breast specimens obtained from surgery after NAC. VDR expression was evaluated using an immunoreactive score assigned after immunohistochemistry. Intergroup comparisons and logistic regression were used to identify associations between VDR expression and clinicopathological features of BC.ResultsWe found that the expression of VDR is associated with various clinical features (i.e., age, menopausal status, and NAC cycle number) and characteristics of prognostic significance, such as residual cancer burden class. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the expression of VDR in the nuclei and cytoplasm of surrounding normal mammary cells predicted vascular invasion and lymph node involvement.ConclusionsThe expression of VDR in tumor cells and their microenvironment is related to the clinicopathological characteristics of BC after NAC.

Published: October 2024

ObjectiveInformal healthcare providers (IHCPs) play a big role in health systems in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) and are often the first point of contact for healthcare in rural and underserved areas where formal healthcare infrastructure is insufficient or absent. This study was performed to systematically review the literature on interventions targeting IHCPs in improving the delivery of healthcare services in LMICs.MethodsPubMed, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases were searched for studies that assessed any type of intervention among IHCPs to improve the delivery of healthcare services in any LMIC. Outcomes included changes in knowledge, attitude, and reported practice of appropriate case diagnosis and management; improved referral services; effective contraceptive use; and medication appropriateness (PROSPERO ID: CRD42024521739).ResultsA total of 7,255 studies were screened and 38 were included. Most of the studies were conducted in Africa and Asia. The IHCPs who were trained included medicine sellers, community health workers/traditional healers, and traditional birth attendants. The main intervention used was educational programs in the form of training. The other interventions were health services, policy and guidelines, and community-based interventions. Most of the interventions were multi-faceted. The disease/service areas targeted were mainly maternal and child health, sexually transmitted diseases, common infectious diseases, medicine use/dispensing practices, and contraception. The outcomes that showed improvements were knowledge, attitude, and reported practice; diagnosis and case management; improved referral services; contraceptive uses; and medication appropriateness. Around one-fourth of the studies reported negative results. The certainty of evidence generated (GRADE criteria) was very low.ConclusionSome multifaceted interventions coupled with training showed improvements in the delivery of healthcare services by IHCPs. However, the improvements were inconsistent. Hence, it is unclear to identify any context-specific optimum intervention to improve the delivery of healthcare services by IHCPs.

Динамическим методом экспериментально изучена растворимость бетулина в чистом и модифицированном сверхкритическом диоксиде углерода (СК-CO2) при 313,15-333,15 К и 8,0-30,0 МПа. Установлено, что в чистом СК-CO2 происходит набухание бетулина без его растворения. Растворимость бетулина повышается при добавлении 5 %-го этанола в качестве сорастворителя. Установлены давления, отвечающие первой и второй кроссоверным точкам - (7,7-8,3) МПа и (27,1-27,6) МПа, соответственно. Экспериментальные данные описаны с использованием модели, основанной на уравнении состояния Пенга-Робинсона.
The results of experimental investigation of betulin solubility in pure and modified supercritical carbon dioxide in the range of temperature (313.15 -333.15 K) and pressure (8.00-30.00 MPa) using the dynamic method are presented. It was found that in pure supercritical carbon dioxide betulin does not dissolve but only swells. The addition of 5 % ethanol as a co-solvent increases the solubility. The pressures corresponding to the first and second crossover points of - (7.7-8.3) MPa and -(27.1-27.6) MPa, respectively, are established in this work. The results of the descri ption of the experimental data using a model based on the Peng-Robinson equation of state are presented.
