Authors: Obeitoh Ozigi Omoyi , Yunusa Abdulateef , Yusuf Mohammed Aliyu 
Published: October 2023

This study examines the effect of board and audit committee attributes on earnings management. The study adopts purposive sampling technique. The study carries out robust regression statistical model with a 10-year panel data among 36 listed firms in Nigeria. The data used were sourced from the published annual account and reports of sampled firms listed on the Nigeria Exchange Group. The findings from the study reveal that board size, board independence and financial expertise of women on the board and audit committee diminish earnings management while board expertise show mixed finding as board expertise promotes non-discretionary accrual, its equally diminishes discretionary accruals. The findings of this study imply that board and audit committee attributes are important in dealing with earnings management. From our key findings, the study recommends the inclusion of women with financial expertise on the board and audit committee beyond gender diversity. In contrasts to the present practice, the study recommends the inclusion of more independent directors to the board as against the current practice of non-executive directors as independent directors reduce earnings management.

Метод розпізнавання виду модуляції радіосигналів космічних систем зв’язку в умовах апріорної невизначеності
Authors: Нагорнюк Олександр , Авсієвич Роман 
Published: October 2023

Метою статті є вдосконалення методу розпізнавання виду модуляції радіосигналів, побудованих відповідно до телекомунікаційного стандарту ETSI EN 302 307 – 1, в умовах апріорної параметричної невизначеності із застосуванням кумулянтів. Актуальність дослідження за обраною тематикою полягає в тому, що означений телекомунікаційний стандарт є досить поширеним в інформаційних системах. Водночас він передбачає використання значного різноманіття сигнально-кодових конструкцій. Відсутність даних про вид модуляції унеможливлює налаштування демодулюючої апаратури. В свою чергу, потреба встановлення виду модуляції радіосигналів за відсутності апріорних даних, досить часто, виникає під час проведення радіомоніторингу частотного ресурсу, а також під час функціонування когнітивних радіосистем. Удосконалений в статті метод розпізнавання виду модуляції радіосигналів стандарту ETSI EN 302 307 – 1 базується на кумулянтному аналізі та методі мінімальної метрики. Вибір змішаних кумулянтів вищих порядків як модуляційних ознак, обумовлено їх властивістю адитивності та тим, що значення кумулянтів від третього і вище порядків дорівнюють нулю для величин із нормальним законом розподілення ймовірностей. Використання методу мінімальної метрики дозволяє в подальшому добавити інші види модуляції, що можуть розпізнаватися вдосконаленим методом, без суттєвої зміни самого методу (потрібно лише додати нові значення кумулянтів до еталонного алфавіту). Метод має порівняно низьку обчислювальну складність за рахунок використання лише чотирьох значень кумулянтів (С40, С42, С61, С63). Для підвищення ймовірності правильного розпізнавання виду модуляції в умовах наявних похибок синхронізації за несучою частотою запропоновано вдосконалити метод кумулянтного аналізу, шляхом використання кумулянтів розрахованих для модифікованих фазових сузір’їв. Перевагою модифікованих сузір’їв є їх інваріантність до залишкових значень несучої частоти. Перевірка результатів здійснювалася у програмному середовищі «MATLAB» відповідно до методу статистичних випробувань Монте-Карло. Результати моделювання показали, що вдосконалений метод кумулянтного аналізу дозволяє розпізнати вид модуляції із ймовірністю близькою до 1 за відношення сигнал-шум від 7 дБ під час використання звичайних фазових сузір’їв та за відношення сигнал-шум від 14 дБ у процесі використання модифікованих фазових сузір’їв. Використання модифікованих фазових сузір’їв дозволяє здійснювати обробку радіосигналів у випадку наявності залишків несучого коливання, що не враховується іншими авторами під час розгляду методів визначення виду модуляції радіосигналів, заснованих на кумулянтному аналізі. Враховуючи той факт, що телекомунікаційний стандарт ETSI EN 302 307 – 1 використовується у багатьох телекомунікаційних системах, отриманні результати можуть бути використані в системах цифрової обробки радіосигналів, що застосовуються підрозділами сектору безпеки і оборони України.

Published: October 2023

Background: Down's syndrome is a genetic condition marked by distinctive physical characteristics and some degree of cognitive impairment. Down's syndrome is mostly caused by trisomy of chromosome 21, while chromosome translocations are also frequent.
Objective: To evaluate a rare 2;21 translocation in the proband's family that was associated with Down syndrome.
Methods: Chromosomal analysis was carried out using the G-banding technique and traditional peripheral lymphocyte culture.
Case: The proband was a 9 months baby boy of non-consanguineous parents. The doctors clinically diagnosed him as having Down's syndrome with all typical features. The proband was found to have trisomy 21 associated with a 2;21 translocation inherited from his mother because his mother has the same type of translocation without any phenotypic features. Maternal age at the time of the study was 35 years and first pregnancy ended in stillbirth at 26th weeks of gestation, the proband was the second issue. His maternal aunt and cousin brother both had the same type of translocation. In chromosomal analysis, the proband's father and uncle had normal genotypic distribution. The current example was a Down's syndrome case with one normal 21 no chromosome and one Reciprocal translocation t (2;21).
Conclusion: The present case of Down’s syndrome occurs due to reciprocal translocation (2;21) probably has arisen by familial transmission. Once an imbalanced translocation in the fetus/child has been found, the prenatal cytogenetic analysis is critical for the next pregnancies.

Published: October 2023

Background: Adipokines and inflammatory cytokines may have an important impact on rising trend of obesity and abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT) in young across the globe. The aim of the study was to see serum adiponectin, leptin, resistin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in young Bangladeshi with AGT.
Methods: This case-control study included 40 young participants with AGT [age 26 years (IQR 24-29); 60.0% female] and 40 with normal glucose tolerance [NGT; age 25 years (IQR 22-28); 44.0% female] encompassed following the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and HbA1c. Insulin resistance (IR) was calculated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA). The measurement of serum adiponectin, leptin, resistin and TNF-α was done by ELISA whereas CRP by Chemiluminescent test.
Results: Level of TNF-α, leptin, and adiponectin as well as frequency of raised resistin and CRP were statistically similar between AGT and NGT (p=NS for all). Positive correlation of TNF-α [body mass index (BMI) in AGT: r=0.354, p=0.025)], leptin [BMI in AGT r=0.760, p<0.001 and NGT 0.675, p<0.001; waist circumference (WC) in AGT: r=0.675, p<0.001 and NGT 0.493, p=0.001] and CRP (NGT group: BMI: 0.579, p<0.001; WC: 0.553, p<0.001) but negative correlation of adiponectin [waist-hip ratio (WHR) in NGT: r=-413, p=0.008] and resistin (WHR in AGT: r=-0.607, p=0.003) with measures of obesity were observed. No adipokines or inflammatory cytokines had any significant correlation to glycemic measures, except negative correlation in AGT with leptin (FPG: r=-0.405, p=0.010; 2hPG: r=-0.431, p=0.006; HbA1c: r=-0.399, p=0.011) and CRP (2hPG; r=-0.490, p=0.021). Fasting insulin or IR had a positive correlation with leptin (in AGT: insulin r=0.545, p<0.001 & IR r=0.337, p=0.034) and CRP (in NGT r=0.318, p=0.045 & r=0.323, p=0.042), negative correlation with adiponectin (in NGT insulin r=-0.350, p=0.027 & IR r=-0.352, p=0.026) and resistin (IR in NGT: r=-0.340, p=0.032) while no significant correlations with TNF-α. None of the cytokines or inflammatory markers were independent predictors of AGT in youth.
Conclusions: The serum levels of cytokines do not differ significantly between AGT and NGT subgroups of young subjects and none of the cytokines was observed to be independent predictor over AGT in young.

Understanding and Maintaining Hemoglobin (HB) Levels in Citrus Farmers Using Pesticides in Karangwidoro Village, Dau District, Malang Regency
Authors: Faisal Faisal , Azizah Dinar Silky , Ramadhan Majida 
Published: October 2023

Hemoglobin is a protein that contains iron and is found in erythrocytes which functions as a transporter of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Low hemoglobin levels can be caused by the use of pesticides, which are toxic chemicals and are often used by farmers to eradicate pests in the agricultural sector. Exposure to pesticides in the body causes the binding of sulfhemoglobin and methemoglobin which causes a low amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells, resulting in anemia. The aim of this research was to determine hemoglobin levels in citrus fruit farmers using pesticides in Karangwidoro village, Dau subdistrict, Malang regency. This research is descriptive research with purposive sampling technique. The population was 76 farmers and 22 samples of farmers were male. Hemoglobin levels are checked using the Easy Touch Hemoglobin tool. The normal value for hemoglobin levels is 13.0 g/dL-17.0 g/dL. The research results showed that hemoglobin levels in citrus fruit farmers using pesticides ranged from an average of 14.9 g/dL, the lowest value was 11.5 g/dL, and the highest value was 18.0 g/dL. The conclusion in this study is that almost all farmers who use pesticides have hemoglobin levels within normal limits. The suggestion for this research is to add a series of complete blood profile examinations such as erythrocytes, hematocrit, leukocytes and platelets. Keyword: Hemoglobin, Farmers, Pesticides
