Authors: Chirane Manel Soumia , Belmeskine Hayet , Boudjellaba Sofiane , Megatelli Smain 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Due to its geographical location in the arid and semi-arid zone, Algeria is suffering from water stress amplified by the effects of climate change. For these reasons this study was conducted to evaluate the suitability for agricultural reuse of treated wastewater of Baraki WWTP. The quality for agricultural reuse is related to the physicochemical parameters and indicators of water quality. The bacteriological characteristics including total and fecal coliforms, fecal enterococci, Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus spp. were also considered. The results revealed that SAR and SSP values were excellent for irrigation. A Wilcox diagram showed that most of the samples fell in the field of C3-S1 indicating high salinity and low sodium water. The physicochemical results indicated that most of parameters are in conformity with standards except ammonia NH4+ and total nitrogen that are higher than the permissible limit of USEPA and FAO. The average concentrations of heavy metals are low compared with the FAO recommendations. However, the bacteriological analyses confirmed the existence of germs indicating a fecal contamination exceeding the WHO regulations but an absence of pathogenic germs. Hence, the disinfection of this water and an adequate treatment is needed before its use for agricultural purposes.
CT-derived Fractional Flow Reserve: How, When, and Where to use this
Novel Cardiac Imaging Tool
Authors: Narimani Javid Roozbeh , Hosseini Seyed Kianoosh 
Published: June 2024

:
Fractional flow reserve computed tomography (FFRCT) is a novel imaging modality.
It utilizes computational fluid dynamics analysis of coronary blood flow obtained from CCTA
images to estimate the decrease in pressure across coronary stenosis during the maximum hyperemia.

:
The FFRCT can serve as a valuable tool in the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD).
This non-invasive option can be used as an alternative to the invasive fractional Flow Reserve
(FFR) evaluation, which is presently considered the gold standard for evaluating the physiological
significance of coronary stenoses. It can help in several clinical situations, including Assessment
of Acute and stable chest pain, virtual planning for coronary stenting, and treatment
decision-making.

:
Although FFRCT has demonstrated potential clinical applications as a non-invasive imaging
technique, it is also crucial to acknowledge its limitations in clinical practice. As a result, it is
imperative to meticulously evaluate the advantages and drawbacks of FFRCT individually and
contemplate its application in combination with other diagnostic examinations and clinical data.
Risk Assessment of Emerging Contaminants in Urban and Natural Water
Sources around Bloemfontein, South Africa: Implication for Environmental
Sustainability
Authors: Mugudamani Innocent , Oke Saheed Adeyinka , Gumede Thandi Patricia , Senbore Samson 
Published: June 2024

Introduction::
Emerging contaminants are present in the water and need to be monitored
and managed as they are of major environmental and health concern universally. Exposure to emerging
contaminants in water sources can pose a significant risk to both aquatic species and human
health. This study assessed the risks of emerging contaminants in urban and natural water sources.

Methods::
A high-performance liquid chromatography connected to a hybrid triple quadrupole ion
trap mass spectrometer was used to analyse the targeted emerging contaminants. The ecological and
human health risk assessment methods were used to assess the possible risks of contaminants.

Results::
Emerging contaminants such as 17-ethinyl-estradiol, simazine, ibuprofen, atrazine, carbamazepine,
terbuthylazine, and metolachlor showed the possibility of high ecological risks to aquatic
species. Risk mixture values in all water sources showed that the aquatic species are at high risk in
all seasons. The non-carcinogenic risk of all selected herbicides in all water sources showed risk
quotient values below 1 for the entire population, signifying that the population is safe. Atrazine is
the only contaminant that showed high carcinogenic risk to the adult group in river water during the
summer season.

Conclusion::
It can be concluded that aquatic species and public health are at risk. The outcomes of
the study may aid in the development of environmental quality standards for regulatory and environmental
sustainability purposes
Assessment of Sticky Bone in One- Stage Lateral Sinus Lift Procedures: A 4 year Retrospective Study
Authors: Albash Ziad , Khalil Ali 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of using sticky bone in lateral sinus lift procedures combined with dental implant placement, and compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes between the perforated and non-perforated groups.

Methods
This retrospective study was conducted on individuals who presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Tishreen University from September 2018 to September 2022. The sample included patients who had lateral sinus lift with simultaneous dental implant placement. The lateral sinus floor elevation procedures involved the use of sticky bone, a mixture of injectable platelet-rich fibrin, and bovine graft material. Bone height measurements were assessed using preoperative and 9-month postoperative CBCT scans. Statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate the Initial Bone Height (IBH), bone height after 9 months, and Intra-sinus Bone Gain (IBG). The intra-sinus bone gain outcomes were compared between perforated and non-perforated groups using an unpaired t-test.

Results
In this study, 21 implants were inserted in 15 patients who underwent lateral sinus augmentation using sticky bone. Four membrane perforations were identified during 15 procedures (26.6%). The survival rate for all implants was 100%. The average intra-sinus bone gain was 5.54 ± 0.74 mm. There was no statistically significant difference in intra-sinus bone gain between the perforation group and non-perforation group (P>0.001).

Conclusion
Based on the findings of this study, sticky bone can be effectively used as a graft material to achieve bone graft survival and successful sinus augmentation in lateral sinus lift procedures with simultaneous dental implant placement, even following small and medium Schneiderian membrane perforation (<10 mm).

Authors: Xuan Ly Ngoc Thanh , Thu Le Thi My , Nhan Tran Chi , Ngan Nguyen Thanh , Tam Le Hien Minh , Van Dang Le , Trong Nguyen Duc , Quang Le Thanh , Diem Nguyen Thi Thuy , Khuong Nguyen Quoc 
Published: June 2024

Background
Poorly nutritious soils limit the growth of crops. Moreover, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) has never been applied with purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB). Therefore, this study was performed to (i) evaluate the phosphorus (P) providing capacity of PNSB and (ii) determine the effectiveness of the PNSB in ameliorating P uptake, growth, and yield of lemon balm in alluvial soils.

Materials and methods
The experiment was designed in completely randomized blocks with nine treatments and three replications. The treatments from (1)-(4) were fertilizations of 100% P, 75% P, 50% P, and 25% according to the recommended fertilizer rate for lemon balm (RFRLB). The treatments (5-7) corresponded to the treatments (2-4), but they were combined with PNSB; the treatment (8) was applied with only PNSB, and the treatment (9) was applied without either chemical fertilization or PNSB.

Results
The results showed that P fertilization combined with PNSB increased Pavailable by 14.1-24.2% as compared with the treatments with only chemical fertilization. Supplying both 75% P and PNSB improved lemon balm growth, such as the number of leaves per plant by 8.63%, the number of secondary branches by 7.69%, and essential oil content by 43.8% in season 1, and increased P uptake by 15.0-29.6% in both seasons.

Conclusion
A reduction of 25% P combined with PNSB maintained the yield of lemon balm like the 100% P fertilization in the two consecutive seasons because the PNSB solubilized unavailable P nutrient in the soil, leading to another P source rather than the chemical fertilizer.

Authors: Mamgain Aanjaneya , Kenwat Rameshroo , Paliwal Rishi 
Published: June 2024

Background:
The drumstick tree, Moringa oleifera Lam. (family Moringaceae), is known as a magical plant due to its broad pharmacological activities. Traditionally, the leaves of this plant are used for anti-inflammatory action. However, the compounds in Moringa oleifera leaves and their mechanism that show anti-arthritic potential are unknown.

Methods:
In this study, a preliminary phytochemical investigation of Moringa oleifera leaves eth-anolic extract was conducted using qualitative analysis followed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis to determine the constituents in the extracts.

Results:
The results indicated the presence of various phytochemical compounds (about 316). Out of these, about 16 compounds were identified that covered 54.63 % of the total ethanolic extract. A molecular docking study was further performed using selected two compounds i.e. 3, 7, 11, 15-tetramethylhexadec-2-en-1-ol and neophytadiene and different targets proteins MMP9 (1L6J), PGE2 (1Z9H), TLR-1-TLR-2 (2Z80), COX-II (3NT1 and 5F19), iNOS (3NW2), HtrA1 (3TJO), JAK-1 (4K6Z), MCSF (5LXF) and TLR-4 (5NAO). Later on, an online tool was used to perform ADME/T analysis of the identified compounds. The DPPH and ABTS assay confirmed the strong potential of this extract for antioxidant activity, which correlates with anti-arthritic potential.

Conclusion:
Based on molecular docking, the mechanism for these compounds for the anti-arthritic activity of these magical plant leaves was identified. It is concluded from the study that Moringa oleifera leaves ethanolic extract have potential compounds that may be used to develop more ef-fective formulations for better therapeutic exercise against inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

Published: June 2024

In this paper, we comment and discuss the fifteen replies that interpret, solicit, problematize, and further develop our Critical Naturalism: A Manifesto (Krisis 42(1)), that have been published in Krisis 43(1). In the paper, we address four overarching topics that we see emerging from the replies: Histories and traditions of criticial naturalism; the relation between theory and praxis; the question of what is critical about critical naturalism; and finally the question of utopia. Additionally, we discuss three general types of attitudes that our critics take to the Manifesto.
Trabajadores sexuales varones en la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia. Vínculos, amistades, afinidades, y utilidades
Authors: Barrera Castellanos Johan Arturo 
Published: June 2024

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo conocer como un grupo de trabajadores sexuales masculinos construye vínculos afectivos con personas externas a su red parental -familia de origen/consanguínea- por medio de su relato de vida. Lo anterior desde un enfoque cualitativo de dipo descriptivo. En este sentido, se realizaron una serie de entrevistas semi estructuradas que dieron pie a la recopilación de cinco relatos de vida. Se evidencia que las relaciones que se construyen con los iguales delimitan los parámetros de sociabilidad del sujeto en contexto. Es así como la afinidad constituye el eje de vinculación del sujeto con los otros.
Preliminary Evidence on the Impact of the Felt Presence of Peers on Auditor Skeptical Judgment and Action in a Remote Work Setting
Authors: Dannemiller Steve 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
The increased prevalence of remote work is causing auditors to work more often in isolation. To address this, firms are using virtual audit rooms in an attempt to mimic the traditional social environment of auditing. Social Facilitation Theory predicts that auditors’ adherence to team guidance is increasing to the extent of felt presence of others. I examine how physical and virtual presence of the audit team, compared to working alone, facilitates the incorporation of team guidance encouraging skepticism. I predict that auditors engage in this behavior most frequently in the physical presence of their team, somewhat less frequently in the virtual presence of their team, and least frequently when working alone. For skeptical actions, results do not support these expectations. However, for skeptical judgments, participants view audit evidence more skeptically when in the virtual presence of peers compared to alone. Low statistical power may limit the generalizability of the results.

Errors in the Auditor’s Report—A Teaching Case
Authors: Brasel Kelsey R. , Draeger Michelle A. , Rapley Eric T. 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
This series of three exercises engages students with experiential learning related to the PCAOB’s unqualified auditor’s report on financial statements. The case can be facilitated either in the classroom or online and is easily customizable for undergraduate and graduate audit courses. The case can provide a 20-minute introduction of the auditor’s report to an entire class period filled with exercises covering different aspects of audit opinion reporting and discussing an ethical decision-making process. During the first two exercises, students analyze auditor’s reports to detect deviations from the PCAOB standard unqualified auditor’s report. During the third exercise, students use the Giving Voice to Values (GVV) approach to plan a strategy for correcting an auditor’s report error, despite their audit manager’s initial instructions to ignore the issue. By applying the GVV ethical decision-making framework in an auditor decision context, the case prompts students to infer and consider different stakeholders’ incentives and biases.

Accounting Chairs’ Perceptions of Current Challenges
Authors: Boyle James F. , Marcy Amanda S. , Boyle Douglas M. , Hermanson Dana R. 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Based on interviews of 20 accounting chairs, we examine chairs’ perceptions of current challenges facing accounting academia and the chairs individually. Overall, the most significant issue facing accounting programs today is declining enrollments and students’ negative perceptions of accounting, with low pay in accounting as a major element. Key challenges facing chairs individually relate to enrollment declines and students’ negative perceptions of accounting, heavy workload, faculty hiring, department culture, and motivating faculty. We further examine enrollment and research issues, including how programs are attempting to address enrollment declines, emerging impacts of enrollment declines, often somewhat nebulous research standards (including recognition of practitioner publications), and a growing collection of research impact measures. We hope that the discussion of how to address key challenges will be useful to chairs and that our findings will spur additional research.
Is Customers’ Financial Reporting Quality Associated with Suppliers’ Decision to Contract?
Authors: Naidu Dharmendra , Ranjeeni Kumari 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Using a unique hand-collected dataset of purchase obligations, we find that customers’ financial reporting quality is positively associated with future supply contracts, indicating that suppliers are more willing to contract with customers who provide them with better information. Further, the association between customers’ financial reporting quality and future supply contracts is stronger for customers with strong bargaining power, which is consistent with suppliers relying more on financial reports when they have less access to customers’ private information. Collectively, our results suggest that customers’ financial reporting quality plays an important role in influencing suppliers’ decisions to contract with customers for the future supply of goods and services.
