Authors: Parija Jita , Mohapatra Janmejaya , Padhy Ashok 
Published: June 2017

Background: The global incidence of cervical cancer varies (5 lakhs new cases/year), highest in developing countries with >50% dying. Identification of risk factors is necessary to curb the disease.Methods: In this study 1000 married women, attending A.H. Regional Cancer Centre Gynecological-Oncology OPD, from April 2016- March 2017 were randomly selected and subjected to Pap smear test of cervix and abnormal smears, biopsied. Histopathological report of HSIL/invasive carcinoma had HPV-DNA testing. Factors like menarche, coitarche, age at marriage, parity, contraception, smoking habit and socio-economic status were noted.Results: In our study, HSIL was 4.2% and invasive cancer was 2.8%. Multiparity (>5) showed invasive cancer in 57.1% of cases. Menarche between 11-13 years had invasive cancer in 67.9%. Incidence of invasive carcinoma in women married < 15 years was 42.9%. Barrier contraception showed protective role. In patients below poverty line, 78.6%, showed invasive cancer. Rural women showed a higher incidence of invasive carcinoma (67.9%). About 53.6% of invasive cancers were positive for HPV DNA.Conclusions: Early menarche, early coitarche, early marriage, high parity, use of contraception other than barrier, low socioeconomic status, poor habitat and HPV infection, carried a high risk of developing cervical cancer. None of the patients in the study group smoked. HPV infection was the most important risk factor. Improvement of socioeconomic status, education and cervical cancer screening of the high-risk group can reduce cervical cancer mortality and morbidity significantly.
Prevalence of Eruption of Third Molar Tooth among South Indians and Malaysians
Authors: Ren Calvin Gan Chee , Kumar B. Senthil 
Published: June 2017

<strong>Introduction:</strong>In prehistoric humans, when the jaw size permitted space for normal dental development and position in the arches, third molar may have been a vital survival tool. However, as human evolution has progressed, jaw size has been gradually decreasing (Lamarckian Evolution). Hence due to the decrease in size of the jaw bone, it’s been reported that approximately 65% of the human population has at least one impacted third molar, and third molars that do erupt are often malposed in the arches and are consequently difficult to clean and prone for infection.<p><strong>Aim and Objective:</strong> To study the prevalence of eruption of third molar tooth among South Indians and Malaysians by observing the presence of third molars among them and to analyze the percentage of impacted third molars and congenital absence of third molar teeth among the Indian and Malaysian population.</p><p><strong>Materials and Methods:</strong>50 Malaysians and 50 Indians (25 males and 25 females in each population) aged between 17 to 25 years old were examined for the presence or absence of the third molars. To confirm the congenital absence of third molars, Orthopantomograms (OPG) were taken.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Results and Conclusion:</strong> In South Indian Population, it was noted that only 48% of males and 64% of females have congenital absence of third molar, and 52% of males and 36% of females have erupted third molars. 16% of males had partly impacted third molar whereas in case of female it was 28%. Congenital absence of third molars among females was 16% more than in males. More males (36%) had impacted third molars than females (24%). It was also noted that majority of them have their maxillary third molars erupted first before their mandibular third molars. In Malaysian Population, it was noted that only 28% of males and 20% of females had congenital absence of third molars, and 72% of males and 80% of females had erupted third molars. 40% of males had partly impacted third molar whereas in case of female it was 52%. Congenital absence of third molars among males was 8% more than females. More males (32%) had impacted third molars than females (28%). It was also noted that in majority of them their mandibular third molars had erupted before their maxillary third molars. When compared among south Indians and Malaysian population congenital absence and impacted third molars are more common in south Indians, whereas partly impacted third molar is more common among Malaysians.</p>

Special Issue on Green and Lean Production
Authors: Nakano Masaru , Kojima Fumio 
Published: June 2017

Green production for a sustainable world has increased in importance as society has increased in its awareness of global warming, energy security, pollution, and the metals shortage. Lean production is a concept considered in successful manufacturing enterprises. Green and lean are often achieved together, such when both waste and energy consumption are reduced. On the other hand, the two are sometimes thought to be at odds, such as when the frequent transportation and small lot size often used in lean production consumes more energy usage than does conventional production. The integration of green and lean is familiar to those who study sustainability. The three bottom lines of sustainability are ecological, economic, and social sustainability. The ecological and economic dimensions have been discussed in the field of production systems. Proactive scenario simulation is required for the evaluation of sustainability as well as for the discussion of integrated criteria of sustainability.
This special issue covers both green and lean topics in the production field. It considers the challenges that need to be addressed so that researchers and practitioners may engage in scientific and practical discussions of these topics. Six contributions from academic institutes and six contributions from manufacturing companies have been accepted. This special issue is expected to encourage both academics and practitioners to discuss future collaboration. Most contributions deal with integrated green and lean issues. Some academic papers evaluate sustainability. Case studies as technical papers or development reports have been provided by industrial contributors. Methodologies range from survey to life cycle assessment to simulation to implementation. The applications range from machine development for green production to national technical policy for sustainable manufacturing.
All papers were refereed through careful peer reviews. We would like to express my sincere appreciation to the authors for their submissions and to the reviewers for their invaluable efforts, as together they made possible the publication of this special issue.
Getting the Incentives Right: Improving Oral Health Equity With Universal School-Based Caries Prevention
Authors: Niederman Richard , Huang Shulamite S. , Trescher Anna-Lena , Listl Stefan 
Published: June 2017

Despite significant financial, training, and program investments, US children’s caries experience and inequities continued to increase over the last 20 years. We posit that (1) dental insurance payment systems are not aligned with the current best evidence, exacerbating inequities, and (2) system redesign could meet health care’s triple aim and reduce children’s caries by 80%. On the basis of 2013 to 2016 Medicaid and private payment rates and the caries prevention literature, we find that effective preventive interventions are either (1) consistently compensated less than ineffective interventions or (2) not compensated at all. This economic and clinical misalignment may account for underuse of effective caries prevention and subsequent overuse of restorative care. We propose universal school-based comprehensive caries prevention to address this misalignment. Preliminary modeling suggests that universal caries prevention could eliminate 80% of children’s caries and cost less than one fifth of current Medicaid children’s oral health spending. If implemented with bundled payments based on cycle of care and measurable outcomes, there would be an alignment of incentives, best evidence, care, and outcomes. Such a program would meet the Healthy People Oral Health goals for children, as well as health care’s triple aim.
Oral Health Care Receipt and Self-Rated Oral Health for Diverse Asian American Subgroups in New York City
Authors: Jung Molly , Kwon Simona C. , Edens Neile , Northridge Mary E. , Trinh-Shevrin Chau , Yi Stella S. 
Published: June 2017

Objectives. To identify determinants of receipt of annual oral health examinations and self-rated oral health among diverse Asian American subgroups. Methods. We used data from the Community Health Resources and Needs Assessment, a community-based survey of Asian American immigrant adults conducted in the New York City metropolitan region from 2013 to 2016 (n = 1288). We used multivariable logistic regression models to assess determinants of oral health care receipt and self-rated oral health. Results. Failure to receive an annual oral health examination was common in this sample (41.5%) and was more frequent for participants who were younger and male and those who had poorer English fluency and lower educational attainment. Not having dental insurance versus having private dental insurance resulted in 2 to 3 times the odds of nonreceipt of oral health care and poor self-rated oral health. Conclusions. Nonreceipt of annual oral health examinations and poor self-rated oral health were common across Asian American subgroups. Facilitating dental insurance sign-up and providing in-language services may improve oral health care access and ultimately oral health among Asian American immigrants.

Published: June 2017

Objectives. To measure the impact of different outreach messages on health insurance enrollment among Medicaid-eligible adults. Methods. Between March 2015 and April 2016, we conducted a series of experiments using mail-based outreach that encouraged individuals to enroll in Pennsylvania’s expanded Medicaid program. Recipients were randomized to receive 1 of 4 different messages describing the benefits of health insurance. The primary outcome was the response rate to each letter. Results. We mailed outreach letters to 32 993 adults in Philadelphia. Messages that emphasized the dental benefits of insurance were significantly more likely to result in a response than messages emphasizing the health benefits (odds ratio = 1.33; 95% confidence interval = 1.10, 1.61). Conclusions. Medicaid enrollment outreach messages that emphasized the dental benefits of insurance were more effective than those that emphasized the health-related benefits. Public Health Implications. Although the structure and eligibility of the Medicaid program are likely to change, testing and identifying successful outreach and enrollment strategies remains important. Outreach messages that emphasize dental benefits may be more effective at motivating enrollment among individuals of low socioeconomic status.

Published: June 2017

This work presents the results of studies on the impact of spent drilling fluids cotreated with municipal wastewater on the rate of the wastewater treatment process and the structure of the community of eukaryotic organisms inhabiting an activated sludge. The studies were conducted under laboratory conditions in sequencing batch reactors. The effect of added polymer‐potassium drilling fluid (DF1) and polymer drilling fluid (DF2) at dosages of 1 and 3% of wastewater volume on the rate of removal of total suspended solids, turbidity, chemical oxygen demand, and the content of total and ammonium nitrogen were analyzed, taking into account the values of these parameters measured at the end of each operating cycle. In addition to the impacts on the aforementioned physicochemical indices, the influence of drilling fluid on the biomass of various groups of eukaryotes in activated sludge was analyzed. The impact of the drilling fluid was highly dependent on its type and dosage. A noticeable slowdown in the rate of the wastewater treatment process and a negative effect on the organisms were observed after the addition of DF2. This effect intensified after an increase in fluid dose. However, no statistically significant negative changes were observed after the introduction of DF1. Conversely, the removal rate of some of the analyzed pollutant increased.Core Ideas
1% v/v polymer DF causes a decrease in biomass of activated sludge eukaryotes.
1% v/v polymer‐potassium DF does not lead to reduction of their biomass.
1% v/v DF of both types increases the rates of organic substancesutilization.
ZDOLNOŚCI EMOCJONALNE KOBIET I MĘŻCZYZN A STOSOWANE STRATEGIE RADZENIA SOBIE ZE STRESEM
Authors: Piekarska Joanna 
Published: June 2017

W niniejszym badaniu poszukiwano związku między dwiema zdolnościami emocjonalnymi (rozpoznawaniem i rozumieniem emocji) a strategiami radzenia sobie ze stresem, stosowanymi przez kobiety i mężczyzn. Analizy przeprowadzono na grupie 228 osób dorosłych (109 kobiet i 119 mężczyzn) w wieku 18–58 lat (Mwieku = 27,46 lat). Strategie radzenia sobie ze stresem mierzono kwestionariuszem COPE, do pomiaru zdolności emocjonalnych wykorzystano natomiast testy SIE-T i TRE. Uzyskane wyniki wskazały na istnienie różnic międzypłciowych w zakresie zdolno- ści rozumienia emocji i niektórych strategii radzenia sobie ze stresem. Zaobserwowano również różnice międzypłciowe w zakresie związków między zdolnościami emocjonalnymi a strategiami radzenia sobie ze stresem. Wynik ten może sugerować, że zdolności emocjonalne odgrywają odmienną rolę w radzeniu sobie ze stresem przez kobiety i mężczyzn.
FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION OF ANCIENT ASHANTI EMPIRE

Published: June 2017

Ashanti was an empire which flourished in the forest region of present-day Ghana in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Ashanti was a monarchy with a bureaucracy financed through taxes. The system of tax collection was one of apportionment among the levels of the social strata that were required to bear the tax burden.
Accounting controls over funds which finally reached the coffers of the monarch involved boxes.The operations and uses of Adaka Kesie (the Big Box) and Apim Adaka (the Box of Thousand) could be likened to a current account and a petty cash account respectively.
BARTER: DEVELOPMENT OF ACCOUNTING PRACTICE AND THEORY
Authors: Stone Williard E. 
Published: June 2017

John Mair, in 1752, stated, “Barter, or the exchange of goods for goods, is nothing else but buying and selling blended together.” This statement, for all its seeming simplicity, is an excellent expression of the confusion which has accompanied the practice and theory of recording this most basic commercial transaction. Can one accounting transaction be both a sale and a purchase at one and the same time and for the same accounting entity?
The proper recording of the barter transaction has occupied the attention of accounting text book authors, beginning in 1494 with Pacioli, with various authors expounding different solutions for almost 500 years. It was not until 1971 that a sound theoretical solution was presented.
AN AUSTRALIAN ATTEMPT TO INTERNATIONALIZE ACCOUNTING PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: Gavens John J. , Gibson Robert W. 
Published: June 2017

In 1928, the beginnings were laid for the International Accountants Corporation and Bookkeepers Institute of Australasia. This was followed in a few years by the International Institute of Accountants. This was an ambitious move to internationalize the professional accounting organizations of the world from Australia.
There was an immediate reaction in the United Kingdom and then from the established Australian national professional organizations. The account and analysis of the subsequent events demonstrates how established organizations will respond to threats of this kind to their power and position.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF THE JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTANCY, 1905 TO 1989
Authors: Previts Gary John , Brown Richard E. 
Published: June 2017

This content analysis of Journal of Accountancy items relating to governmental accounting spans a period of nine decades which included two world wars, a severe economic depression, and conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, These decades marked the departure from simpler local government accounting concerns alone to national governmental issues and the call for consistent accountability among the myriad federal agencies and programs.
Considering the growth of the public sector, its importance to all other spheres of American life, the complexity of governmental financial administration, and the events of the times, governmental accounting received only a modest amount of attention in the AICPA's journal — probably less than five percent of published content over the period. This limited coverage suggests a minimal amount of attention to governmental accounting matters within the profession which may be due in part to the fact that governmental accounting, until recently, was not a principal component of the profession's scope of services.
From a content perspective, the Journal did a more than adequate job of keeping its readers abreast of current developments through short news items. From a substantive viewpoint, however, the major papers were often reactive rather than forward-looking, or calling for positive change. Perhaps in part because of these realities, today, three quarters of a century after some of the early papers were published on related issues, the GASB continues to struggle with basic financial accounting and reporting issues for state and local government.
