Hepatoprotective Role of Emodin in Chemical-Induced Liver Injury histopathological study in Mice Model
Authors: Soliman Mona H. , Innonnhm Mary 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background: Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced chronic liver injury results in liver fibrosis and eventually causes cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The current study is aimed at analyzing the impact of emodin on liver fibrosis and the inflammation in CCl4-induced liver injury among mice and the mechanisms associated with it.
Objectives: The aim of the current study is to evaluate the morphological changes and the molecular mechanisms that are involved in liver fibrosis, induced by the administration of CCl4 and the potentials of emodin in treating the disease.
Methods: For this study, a total of 30 male albino rats was considered and was segregated into three groups with each group containing 10 mice. The mice were treated with CCl4 for about 4-5 weeks while in parallel, emodin was administered upon the study group in the last two weeks. Then, the liver tissues were harvested from the mice to conduct morphological, biochemical and molecular analyses.
Results: The outcomes obtained from hematoxylin and eosin staining followed by enzyme level analysis found that CCl4 treatment severely damaged the liver tissues of the study group mice and also incremented the liver functional enzymes. But, when the groups were treated with Emodin, the enzyme levels got reduced. This establishes the potential therapeutic effect of Emodin upon liver function. As per the molecular analysis results, CCl4 treatment increases the mRNA expression of SMAD4, α-SMA, TGF, MDA, Nrf2, and pro-inflammatory markers IL-6 and TNF-α. However, these genes got downregulated when Emodin is used along with CCl4. In addition to these, the combination also upregulated the anti-inflammatory markers such as IL-1β and IL-10, Hepatic and Cancer-specific markers HNF-α, Albumin, p53, and AFP. As per the study outcomes, it can be concluded that Emodin is a promising therapeutic agent that can be used in the treatment of liver damage and inflammation, triggered by CCl4 treatment.
Conclusion: The study concludes that through the regulation of TGFβ/Smad4 pathway, Emodin attenuates the liver fibrosis and inflammation in CCl4-induced hepatic injury in mice. The results achieved establish emodion as a potential therapeutic candidate to treat liver fibrosis and inflammation.

Abstract
Access to clean drinking water is a major issue in many regions of the world, particularly in areas where groundwater is scarce. This study aims at determining the water quality of two lakes. Some parameters in this investigation were found to be above the WHO limit, while most were within the limit. For instance, the average value of electrical conductivity in Hanna Lake was 537.4 μS/cm, while it was 758.9 μS/cm in Spin Karez, which was above the WHO limits (&gt;500 μS/cm). Turbidity in Hanna Lake was 4.17 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU), within the WHO limits (&lt;5 NTU), while in Spin Karez, it was 9.5 NTU above the WHO limits, and dissolved oxygen concentration average values were 9.06 mg/l in Hanna Lake and 8.86 mg/l in Spin Karez, above the permitted limits provided by the WHO (6.5–8 mg/l). The study also found that both lakes had high concentrations of microbial colonies, with 65 CFU/100 ml in Hanna Lake and 56 CFU/100 ml in Spin Karez. Based on these findings, an efficient water treatment technique should be adopted to remove these highly concentrated parameters in both lakes for purified water and future water demands.
A mini-review on arsenic remediation techniques from water and future trends
Authors: Mahamallik Prateeksha , Swain Ratnakar 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Arsenic contamination is a severe issue because of its toxicity and related health risks. This review article presents an overview of the sources, health hazards, and treatment options for arsenic pollution. Conventional approaches to achieving the permitted level of 10 ppb set by the WHO, such as chemical oxidation, biological oxidation, and coagulation–flocculation, are ineffective and time-consuming. The paper analyses the advantages and disadvantages of various advanced treatment technologies, including membrane filtration, ion exchange, advanced oxidation, phytoremediation, and adsorption. This paper summarized the effectiveness of hybrid arsenic remediation techniques in removing arsenic and its operating conditions. This study is a helpful tool for putting remediation strategies into practice. This article describes arsenic pollution's damaging effects on human health, underscoring the necessity for careful treatment. The article addresses numerous treatment technologies, each with advantages and disadvantages preventing widespread use. Due to these limitations, deciding the best technique for arsenic remediation is difficult. As a result, hybrid treatment systems are urgently needed, with photocatalysis-adsorption being the most popular approach. The relevance of adaptable, user-friendly, low-maintenance hybrid technologies that are versatile, easy to use, and provide affordable arsenic removal options, especially for poor populations, is highlighted by prospects.

This research was aimed at finding out the errors on conjunctive adverb found in descriptive text written by the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Sindue. The researcher analyzed the data by applying simple descriptive analysi. The research sample was 22 students. The instruments of data collection were a writing test. The students were assigned to write descriptive text by using conjunctive adverbs. The result of data analysis showed that there were two errors made by students, i.e. misplace of conjunctive adverbs and inappropriate conjunctive adverbs. There were 7 or 38.88% errors in misplace of conjunctive adverbs, 3 or 16.66% errors inappropriate conjunctive adverbs, and 18 or 94.73% used conjunctive adverbs correctly. The occurrence of these errors may be caused by misunderstanding of the teacher’s explanation in the target language and may be also caused by the inability of using rules into context eventhough they have been taught items in the target language repeatedly. The causes of these errors included in the category of intra-lingual errors i.e. the false concept hypothesis and incomplete application of the rules.

ABSTRACT
The late 1880s saw the rise of early public accounting practice in the United States and the origin of emerging national firms, one of which was Barrow, Wade, Guthrie & Co. (BWG). BWG served a broad range of clients, from railroads to breweries, and a variety of financial and other commercial enterprises. This project was started as a search for the answer to a mystery surrounding early audit reports and then developed into a history of BWG from its origin until the merger with Peat Marwick in 1950. Throughout its existence, BWG was at the forefront of the trends in public accounting practice. The firm and its employees were leaders in all aspects of the developing CPA profession. The paper contributes to historical literature and advances the understanding of the earliest periods of public practice by emerging public accounting firms.
E. Joe DeMaris on the Accounting Profession and its Forgotten Mission
Authors: Persson Martin E. , DeMaris E. Joe 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT
“The Accounting Profession and its Mission Forgotten” is an unpublished manuscript by E. Joe DeMaris (1919–2010). It is reproduced here with an introductory note. DeMaris was one of the more prominent individuals among his generation of accounting academics, administrators, and observers of the accounting profession. The manuscript investigates the development of the accounting profession from the 17th century in Great Britain to the 20th century in the United States. The manuscript was written in 1997 and foreshadows several events of the 21st century, such as the tension arising from the cross-selling of consulting services to audit clients, the auditor capture that brought down Arthur Andersen, and the failure of “trickle-down economics” to bring about economic prosperity for the masses. Contemporary readers will find DeMaris’ manuscript pertinent as we reflect on the 50th anniversary of the Academy of Accounting Historians and consider the role of accounting in the 21st century.

Authors: Heron Nicole M. , Markelevich Ariel 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT
This case study uses segment data from General Electric’s SEC filings to provide students in managerial and cost accounting courses the opportunity to see how a variety of classroom topics apply to a real-world company. Students are required to find relevant segment-related data in 10-Ks. By using financial accounting data to make managerial accounting decisions, the case serves as a link between financial and managerial accounting. This case has four independent requirements that focus on a different topic related to segment reporting: (1) segment performance measures, (2) segment profitability, (3) segment decision-making, and (4) segment reporting changes as connected to corporate structure and strategy. In each requirement, students are asked to prepare a memo and supporting analysis based on the relevant segment-related data. The modular nature of the case provides instructors with flexibility for implementation in a variety of managerial and cost accounting courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
