Published: December 2023

Tax compliance and evasion pose significant challenges to tax authorities in South Africa and other countries. In recent times, corporate governance issues have increasingly involved tax compliance. This study focuses on unresolved audit issues with the South African Revenue Service (SARS), expensive litigation, and lengthy arbitration with the tax Ombudsman. These issues are complicated by legal elucidations, legislative components, and regulatory frameworks. The paper aims to clarify the purpose of a tax legal audit expert at SARS in the initial phases of an audit procedure. To answer this research question, a thorough mapping review using methodical, technique-based literature evaluation was conducted. The study found that the lack of skilled tax legal audit experts hampers the effectiveness and efficiency of tax audits. Therefore, tax authorities must invest in the skills of tax legal audit experts to improve audit outcomes.

Published: December 2023

Down Syndrome (DS) is a chromosomal disorder due to the presence of an additional chromosome 21 that causes intellectual deficit and physical anomalies and predisposes patients to develop infections throughout their lives. Pneumonias are more serious in patients with DS, requiring hospitalization, and represent an important cause of mortality in this population. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes widespread and serious infections in immunocompromised individuals, affecting the respiratory tract and, causing interstitial pneumonia, is associated with a high mortality rate.
However, CMV-induced pneumonia is not reported in DS patients. The prevalence and severity of CMV respiratory infections in subjects with DS is unknown. This case describes a 50-year-old female patient suffering from DS who developed extensive bilateral pneumonia with severe respiratory failure which required hospitalization in intensive care, intubation and mechanical ventilation after approximately 10 days of empiric antibiotic and anitimycotic therapy for fever, cough and dyspnea. The patient was diagnosed with CMV pneumonia and recovered after treatment with Ganciclovir. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of CMV pneumonia in a patient with DS. This case aims to highlight that CMV pneumonia in individuals with DS can be a life-threatening condition. It also clarifies the importance of early diagnosis of infections from opportunistic pathogens such as CMV to ensure timely and efficient treatment.
What Are the Trends in the Utilization of Orthopaedic Advanced Practice Professionals? A Large Database Medicare Study
Authors: Burkhart Robert J. , Acuña Alexander J. , Kolin David A. , Hecht Christian J. , Shah Aakash K. , Kamath Atul F. 
Published: December 2023

Background:
Advanced practice professionals (APPs), such as physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs), are expected to have an increasing role in delivering high-quality orthopaedic care in the coming years. Our analysis aimed to determine the current proportion and geographic distribution of APPs in orthopaedics. In addition, we predicted future growth into 2025.

Methods:
Our analysis was a retrospective, large national database study evaluating services provided by APPs from 2014 to 2019 using the Medicare Provider Utilization and Payment Data prepared by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). NPs and PAs were recognized by provider type and aggregated to form the APP group for analysis. Mann-Kendall trend tests were used to evaluate changes in the number of each provider type. Poisson regression will be used to predict the expected number of APPs in the field up to the year 2025.

Results:
From 2014 to 2019, there was a 34.36% increase in the number of orthopaedic APPs (5,480-7,363), compared with a 5.37% increase in orthopaedic surgeons (22,518-23,728). APPs were located in predominately large metropolitan areas (96%), followed by small metropolitan (3.6%) and rural areas (0.4%). Using data from our study period, we projected that by 2025, there will be 10,484 APPs in orthopaedic surgery [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 9,004-11,964 providers]. This represents an 84% increase over the decade between 2015 and 2025.

Conclusion:
Our analysis demonstrated that the volume of established patient visits and various nonsurgical services provided by APPs in orthopaedic surgery continues to grow. The number of APPs and surgeons in orthopaedics is increasing, but the proportion of APPs choosing orthopaedics as a speciality is on the decline. Furthermore, we found a greater proportion of PAs in orthopaedics than NPs. Because the demand for services for orthopaedic surgery continues to grow, APPs may serve as one possible solution to increase access to orthopaedic care, and additional programs should be developed to improve the educational access for APPs to train in orthopaedics.

Abstract

Objective
The purpose of this study was to assess the magnitude and risk of livelihood asset damage due to climate change-induced disasters for the coastal fishermen of Bangladesh.
Method
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 338 randomly selected coastal fishers and other coastal fishery actors from 11 coastal districts of southern Bangladesh.
Results
Findings revealed that more than 90% of the participants lived within 3.5 kilometres of the coastal zones and had to struggle against at least three moderate to highly severe CCI disasters, including recurring floods, waterlogging, and cyclones, in the past five years. Using ECLAC (United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean) methodology following DaLA (damage, loss, and need assessment), it was found that yearly Bangladesh has faced economic penalties of nearly BDT 23.606 billion [≈ $224.82 million; (housing: $137.36 million; commercial & livelihoods: $87.46 million); (physical assets: $153.45 million; and financial: $71.38 million)] due to CCI disasters for only one million households of coastal fishers and other coastal fishery actors. The penalties for the same population have also included receiving loans totaling nearly BDT 6.117 billion (≈ $58.25 million) from money lenders or Mahajons per year to recover household expenditure shortfalls and compensation due to CCI disasters. The disastrous CCI incidences such as repeated cyclones and floods, moderate to high severity of disaster, and ≥ 11 days’ longevity of the disaster were significantly associated with the damage and loss of physical and financial assets (i.e., living house, fisheries, livestock, poultry, and penalty to the work-day lost) and also significantly associated with the requirement of receiving loans recurrently from money lenders (p = < 0.05).
Conclusion
The implementation of coastal management, including the establishment of climate-resilient housing and commercial infrastructure for the studied population, could minimize household-level partial damage and loss. Moreover, the generation of alternate income sources in different IGA (income-generating activity) trades during off-fishing seasons has the potential to protect coastal and marine fishermen's livelihoods.
Human frontopolar cortex plays a causal role in digesting complex information during decision making

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The ability to digest complex information is critical to many decisions that are non-trivial. However, the underlying mechanism is however broadly unclear. Here, we focused on investigating the causal role of the lateral frontopolar cortex (FPl), an area greatly evolved in the human brain, in processing complex choice information. This was achieved via three experiments that collectively involved transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), task-free functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), task-based fMRI, and computational modelling. First, we found that disrupting FPl using TMS impaired decision making with complex information. Second, we developed a computational model that consistently explains complex choice behaviour across three experiments. The same model also explains mechanistically that the FPl-TMS effect was due to diminished complexity in integrating information. Finally, fMRI data revealed stronger FPl signals were related to more complex integrations. Together, our results suggest a causal role of FPl in digesting complex information during decision making.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Purpose
As people age, fertility tends to decline, and various previous studies have indicated a potential connection between aging and infertility. However, whether telomere length (TL), as a marker of cellular age, is causally related to infertility remains an unknown question.
Methods
In this research, we performed two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to evaluate the causal relationship between TL and infertility risk. We mainly conducted MR analyses employing the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method and complemented with other MR methods. Additionally, sensitivity analysis was performed to testify the primary results' robustness.
Results
The summary dataset of the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for TL (n = 472,174) were obtained from the UK Biobank. Four infertility subgroups based on gender and etiology were selected from FinnGen Consortium R6 release, which included 119,206 (Female infertility_1), 118,644 (Female infertility_2) ,128,432 (Female infertility_3) and 74,159 (Male infertility) individuals, respectively. 137 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with TL in European populations were selected as instrumental variables (IVs). We found that genetically determined TL and epigenetic clocks were not individually associated with 4 types infertility(IVW p > 0.05), and this result was consistent across sensitivity analyses. Our findings indicate that there was no causal association between genetically determined TL and epigenetic clocks with the four types of infertility (IVW p > 0.05). Other methods also achieved consistent results. Sensitivity analyses were performed and revealed no heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that TL may not serve as effective causal biomarkers for predicting infertility and need more robust analytical methods and more comprehensive researches.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Antibiotics have received increasing attention because of their ecological impact and risk to human health. Hospitals are a major source of antibiotic pollution. This study investigated the emission characteristics, removal efficiency, and environmental risk of antibiotics in wastewater from on-site treatment plants in three different types of hospitals: a general hospital (GP), a traditional Chinese medicine hospital (TCM), and a cardiac hospital (CP) in Beijing, China. The total antibiotic concentration of TCM effluent was 4996.7 ± 692.4 ng/L, higher than GP effluent (3483.0 ± 328.4 ng/L) and CP effluent (2627.2 ± 267.1 ng/L). TCM had the highest antibiotic concentration in influents (7566.9 ± 495.3 ng/L) and effluents, while the GP influent contained the greatest variety of antibiotics. Macrolides (MAs) and quinolones (QUs) were the main antibiotics in the studied effluents, with the sum of the two contributing to 75.2%, 63.1%, and 57.7% of the GP, TCM, and CP effluents, respectively. Clarithromycin (CLA), azithromycin (AZM), ofloxacin (OFL), and ciprofloxacin (CIP) were the main antibiotics detected in both the influents and effluents in all three types of hospitals. The overall removal efficiencies of the three hospitals were low at 30.8%, 34.0%, and 42.2% for GP, TCM, and CP, respectively. The removal efficiencies of different antibiotics in the treatment facilities of the three hospitals were different. High RQ of roxithromycin (ROX), a regional antibiotic detected only in China, OFL, and erythromycin (ERY) were found in all treatment facilities. In MBR treatment systems, the micro-environment of bacteria is exposed to high environmental risk from antibiotics, potentially inhibiting its removal efficiency on other pollutants. In this investigation, a glimpse of the antibiotic emission characteristics in the hospital wastewater of different types of hospitals in Beijing, China, was given, which will benefit the formulation of new medical guidelines, development of treatment technology, and revision of emission standards.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Multitasking is vital in the contemporary fast-paced world. Laboratory studies have consistently demonstrated this ability to be reliant on complex cognitive functions, which can be impaired in young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, everyday multitasking, differing from experimental paradigms in many aspects, is much less understood, in part, because of the lack of appropriate measures. To address this, the present study reports on the development and initial validation of the Everyday Multitasking Scale (EMS), as the first self-report measure assessing young people’s everyday multitasking performance and preference. It also explores the association between multitasking and individual variations in ADHD symptoms, temperament, and delay aversion. A convenience sample of 155 individuals aged 16–21 years (M = 19.04, SD = 1.13) completed the 27-item EMS, as well as the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, 1997), Quick Delay Questionnaire (Clare et al., 2010), and Adult Temperament Questionnaire (Evans & Rothbart, 2007). Factor analysis identified two factors of the EMS: multitasking performance (10 items; α = .88) and multitasking preference (six items; α = .84). Bivariate correlations showed that performance was positively correlated with preference, effortful control, and orienting sensitivity, while negatively correlated with ADHD and delay aversion. Path analysis showed the direct association between ADHD and multitasking performance was fully mediated by effortful control and orienting sensitivity. These results suggested that although individuals with higher levels of ADHD symptoms reported worse multitasking performance, this may be improved by increasing orienting sensitivity and effortful control and reducing aversion to delay.

Abstract
Alternaria leaf blight, caused by Alternaria solani, is one of the major foliar diseases of tomato. Synthetic fungicides remain an integral component of managing Alternaria leaf blight to reduce yield losses. However, their negative side effects on the environment, human health and increased pathogen resistance call for the exploration of alternative control measures that are environmentally safe. The current study was established to evaluate the effectiveness of Monsonia burkeana methanolic extract against A. solani growth under laboratory conditions, Alternaria leaf blight and its ability to increase tomato yield. The antifungal activities of Monsonia burkeana methanolic extract were tested under laboratory conditions through food poisoning assay at concentrations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5g/100ml. The study was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) replicated four times. Monsonia burkeana methanolic extract significantly (P ≤ 0.05) inhibited the mycelium growth of A. solani and a significant reduction was recorded at 5 g 100 ml− 1 (32.25%). Greenhouse and micro-plot experiments were established where treatments were: 5g/100ml M. burkeana extract, inoculate non-treated control and non-inoculated, non-treated control. Plants were arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and each treatments replicated four times. Disease severity was measured using a scale of 0–5 after 21 days. Monsonia burkearna methanolic extract significantly reduced Alternaria leaf blight severity of 10% and less under both greenhouse and micro-plot respectively when compared to inoculated non-treated control. Treated tomato plants had a significantly higher chlorophyll content and Normalized Difference Vegetative Index.

Abstract
Phosphate extraction process produces large amounts of waste sludge, that is disposed of in the environment. Phosphate sludge (PS) is characterized by high moisture content (70–80%) which is a major handicap for any further disposal. To overcome this issue, the drying of this waste could be an appropriate solution to minimize its volume. The present work is focused on the convective drying behavior of PS and its mathematical modeling to optimize the drying processes. Drying experiments were conducted using thicknesses of 1, 2 and 4 cm. Drying air temperature and velocity ranged respectively in 50–70°C and 1–2 m/s. The findings showed that improving drying air temperature and velocity, and decreasing sample thickness enhance considerably the drying rate. Furthermore, the drying curves showed the presence of two main drying periods corresponding to constant drying rate and falling drying rate periods. Moreover, a model considering heat and mass transfer equations for each phase in wet sludge was used to fit the experimental results. Based on the analytical solutions and according to the statistical criteria R2 and RMSE ranged from 0.9957–0.9996 and 0.0157–0.0276, respectively, it was concluded that the model describes the drying behavior of washing PS in all tested convective drying conditions.
