Evaluasi Implementasi Risk Based Internal Audit (Studi Kasus pada PT ABC)
Authors: Aulia Nabilah , Julian Lufti 
Published: June 2024

This research was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of Risk Based Internal Audit (RBIA) at PT ABC by using the framework from David Griffith in 2020 related to the implementation of RBIA and the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors in 2014 in evaluating risk maturity as part of RBIA implementation. This research is a case study with a descriptive qualitative approach using interviews and document analysis to explore experiences and in-depth understanding. The object of research is PT ABC, which is a private manufacturing company engaged in the manufacturing industry. In the past, the company has experienced poor financial conditions. Therefore, PT ABC tries to carry out effective supervision, one of which is carried out through the internal audit division. However, in practice, management's commitment to managing risk has not been fully reflected in company practice. PT ABC management does not have a policy as a form of tone of the top commitment in implementing risk management. The results of the study can be concluded that PT ABC has not been able to implement RBIA comprehensively because the results of the risk maturity assessment carried out are still at level risk naïve. Improvements are needed to increase the level of risk maturity to implement RBIA comprehensively or when the risk assessment reaches level risk defined. This research provides recommendations for a roadmap that can be implemented by PT ABC to increase risk maturity so that RBIA can be implemented comprehensively in the future.

Published: July 2024

Disruptions to the global supply chains of critical raw materials (CRM) have the potential to delay or increase the cost of the renewable energy transition. However, for some CRM, the primary drivers of these supply chain disruptions are likely to be issues related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rather than geological scarcity. Herein we combine public geospatial data as mappable proxies for key ESG indicators (e.g., conservation, biodiversity, freshwater, energy, waste, land use, human development, health and safety, and governance) and a global dataset of news events to train and validate three models for predicting “conflict” events (e.g., disputes, protests, violence) that can negatively impact CRM supply chains: (1) a knowledge-driven fuzzy logic model that yields an area under the curve (AUC) for the receiver operating characteristics plot of 0.72 for the entire model; (2) a naïve Bayes model that yields an AUC of 0.81 for the test set; and (3) a deep learning model comprising stacked autoencoders and a feed-forward artificial neural network that yields an AUC of 0.91 for the test set. The high AUC of the deep learning model demonstrates that public geospatial data can accurately predict natural resources conflicts, but we show that machine learning results are biased by proxies for population density and likely underestimate the potential for conflict in remote areas. Knowledge-driven methods are the least impacted by population bias and are used to calculate an ESG rating that is then applied to a global dataset of lithium occurrences as a case study. We demonstrate that giant lithium brine deposits (i.e., >10 Mt Li
2
O) are restricted to regions with higher spatially situated risks relative to a subset of smaller pegmatite-hosted deposits that yield higher ESG ratings (i.e., lower risk). Our results reveal trade-offs between the sources of lithium, resource size, and spatially situated risks. We suggest that this type of geospatial ESG rating is broadly applicable to other CRM and that mapping spatially situated risks prior to mineral exploration has the potential to improve ESG outcomes and government policies that strengthen supply chains.
Association between serum albumin creatinine ratio and all-cause mortality in intensive care unit patients with heart failure
Authors: Wang Jiuyi , Li Ni , Mu Yunkai , Wang Kai , Feng Guibo 
Published: July 2024

BackgroundThe serum albumin creatinine ratio (sACR) has been established as a potential indicator for heart disease, however, its relationship with prognosis in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with heart failure remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the association between sACR levels and all-cause mortality ICU patients with heart failure.MethodsClinical data from MIMIC-Ⅳ database was utilized for the analysis of ICU patients with heart failure. Patients were categorized into quartiles (Q1-Q4) based on sACR levels. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate adjusted Cox regression models were employed to assess the association between sACR levels and mortality outcomes within 365 days. Subgroup analysis was used to evaluate the prognostic impact of sACR across diverse populations. Restricted cubic spline curves and threshold effect analysis were utilized to quantify the dose-response relationship between sACR levels and risk of all-cause mortality. Mediating effects analysis was conducted to present the involvement of albumin and creatinine in the association between sACR and outcomes.ResultsThe analysis encompassed a cohort of 4,506 patients, with Kaplan-Meier curves indicating that individuals with lower sACR levels exhibited an elevated risk of all-cause mortality (log-rank p &lt; 0.001). Multivariate adjusted Cox regression and subgroup analysis demonstrated that individuals in Q2 [hazard ratio (HR) 0.82, 95%CI 0.71∼0.96], Q3 (HR 0.76, 95%CI 0.64∼0.91) and Q4 (HR 0.62, 95%CI 0.50∼0.76) had a decreased risk of mortality compared to individuals in Q1 (lower levels of sACR) (p for trend &lt; 0.001), and this inverse relationship was consistently observed across various subgroups. Subsequent restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a negative yet nonlinear relationship between sACR and all-cause mortality (p for nonlinear &lt; 0.001), and threshold effect analysis indicated an effect threshold of 3.75. Additionally, mediating effects analysis emphasized that sACR influenced the outcome not only through serum albumin and creatinine pathways, but also through direct mechanisms.ConclusionThe study found that low levels of sACR were independently associated with an increased risk of one-year all-cause mortality in ICU patients with heart failure, with a threshold effect, which could potentially serve as an early warning indicator for high-risk populations.

ObjectiveThis study aims to compare the differences between traditional class teaching model and novel flipped class model in orthopedic surgery, and further clarify the potential merits.MethodsTotal 138 undergraduate fourth-year students from Shandong University who interned in the Orthopedics Department of Qilu Hospital from June 2022 to June 2023 were enrolled. They were randomly classified into traditional class group and flipped class group. At the end of the internship, all undergraduate students were evaluated in terms of orthopedic theoretical knowledge and practical operations. In addition, they also filled out subjective questionnaires related to satisfaction with related courses. All parameters involving two groups were compared.ResultsThe theoretical assessment score of traditional class group was 75.10 ± 9.43, while the theoretical assessment score of the flipped class group was 78.70 ± 10.71, with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.038). Compared with the traditional class group (81.52 ± 8.50), the flipped class group showed a significant improvement in skill assessment scores (85.55 ± 8.29), with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.006). According to the weighted average score calculation, total score of students in the flipped class group (82.12 ± 6.69) was also higher than that in the traditional class group (78.31 ± 6.05), and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with the traditional class group, the satisfaction survey results of students in the flipped class group showed a significant improvement (except for reduce the learning burden), and the difference was statistically significant (p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionThe flipped class teaching mode significantly improves the learning interest and efficiency of internship students in orthopedic clinical teaching, and increases more communication and understanding between students and teachers. At the same time, it can tap into students' interests, hobbies, and self-learning abilities, effectively improving their mastery of theoretical knowledge and skill operations, which is worth promoting.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the association between the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio and the risk and severity of CHD among NAFLD patients.MethodsThis retrospective study included 278 patients with NAFLD and chest pain. The TG/HDL-C ratio was calculated and coronary angiography performed. All individuals were divided into NAFLD + CHD and NAFLD groups. The severity of coronary artery stenosis is quantified using the Gensini score based on angiographic results. In NAFLD patients, the association between the TG/HDL-C ratio and the risk and severity of CHD was explored.ResultsCHD was detected in 139 of 278 patients. Compared to NAFLD group, multivariate logistic regression showed that TG/HDL-C ratio was a risk factor for CHD among NAFLD patients after adjustment for confounding factors with the odds ratio (OR 1.791, 95% CI 1.344–2.386, P&lt;0.001). Further analysis using multivariate logistic regression based on tertiles revealed that, after adjusting for confounding factors, compared to the T1 group, the risk of CHD in the T2 group was 2.17-fold higher (OR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.07–4.38; P = 0.031). Similarly, the risk of CHD in the T3 group increased by 2.84-fold (OR, 2.84; 95% CI, 1.36–5.94; P = 0.005). The multifactor linear regression analysis showed each 1-unit increase in TG/HDL-C ratio in the NAFLD + CHD group was associated with a 7.75-point increase in Gensini score (β=7.75, 95% CI 5.35–10.15, P&lt;0.001).ConclusionThe TG/HDL-C ratio was positively correlated with CHD risk and reflected coronary atherosclerosis severity in NAFLD patients.

Authors: Mu Yongcheng 
Published: July 2024

Introduction: As an economical and fast process method for surface modification of materials, overlay welding is increasingly widely used in the manufacturing and repair of parts in various industrial sectors.Methods: This study combines grating projection measurement to design an economical mold arc additive process, and introduces point cloud simplification algorithm for wear and repair design of the mold structure. Then, a new method for manufacturing low-cost, long-life, and economical hot stamping die inserts is designed, using low-cost forged steel and cast steel as substrates and surface welding of high-temperature alloy wear-resistant layers. Results and Discussion: The experiment shows that the proposed algorithm for simplifying scattered molds has a good evaluation effect, without any gaps, and has a good retention effect on point clouds. The maximum and minimum distances are 0.45 mm and 0.025 mm, respectively. The friction coefficient of cobalt based alloys at 300°C is lower than that at 200°C, and the fluctuation period at 200°C is significantly longer than that at 300°C. HSTS steel has the highest wear resistance, and the performance of cobalt-based alloys is significantly better than that of other alloys. The compressive yield strength of iron-based alloys is the highest, and the hardness of iron-based alloys is the highest, at 53.2 HRC. Therefore, iron-based alloys were selected as a surface wear-resistant layer welding material for economical molds with cooling channels, and cobalt-based alloys were also selected as a surface wear-resistant layer welding material for variable strength economical molds. The research results provide a reference for economic mold manufacturing and repair.

BackgroundThe flow diverter (FD) has emerged as a promising treatment option for intracranial aneurysms. Recently, a novel flow-diverting stent, the Choydar FD device, has been developed within our nation.ObjectiveTo introduce the newly developed Choydar FD device and present our preliminary clinical experience with its application in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.MethodsA total of 23 patients with 23 unruptured intracranial aneurysms, comprising 20 (87.0%) aneurysms located at the internal carotid artery and 3 (13.0%) at the vertebral artery, were treated with the Choydar FD device between December 2021 and April 2022. Patient baseline data, clinical and angiographic outcomes were collected and analyzed.ResultsThe Choydar FD device was successfully deployed in all patients (100%), with 18 aneurysms (78.3%) additionally treated with coils. One patient experienced an ischemic event with sensory disturbance during the perioperative period. At the 1-year follow-up, all patients demonstrated good clinical outcomes. Of the 23 aneurysms with available angiographic follow-up, 22 (95.7%) achieved complete occlusion, and one patient exhibited in-stent stenosis without neurological deficits.ConclusionThe initial clinical results of the Choydar FD device are encouraging, and it appears to be a useful option for treating intracranial aneurysms with acceptable efficacy and safety. Future studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up durations are warranted to validate these findings.
