Published: August 2023

Context
Infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) usually manifests as a proliferative immune-complex glomerulonephritis. The degree of renal dysfunction at presentation can vary. Association with histologic features on kidney biopsy remains unknown.

Objective
To study the correlation between renal function in IRGN at the time of biopsy and the severity of histologic features.

Design
Culture-proven IRGN cases at our facility were included and divided based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 15 ml/min/1.73 m2. Patients' demographic and pathologic findings were obtained from electronic medical records and kidney biopsy reports.

Results
In total, 104 cases were diagnosed with IRGN on biopsy (mean age, 55.6 ± 15.6 years; male, n = 79 [76%]; median eGFR, 14.5 mL/min/1.73 m2), and 51 of 104 showed eGFR &lt;15 mL/min/1.73 m2. Among all the histologic features assessed, only percent tubules with red blood cell (RBC) casts showed statistical difference, being significantly higher in the lower-eGFR group (P = .004). Multivariable logistic regression analysis also showed that %tubules with RBC casts were associated with lower eGFR (odds ratio, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.01–1.24; P = .01). Patients with 5% or more RBC casts (n = 31) showed a lower eGFR (P = .02) and a higher %cellular crescent (P &lt; .001) compared with those with less than 5% RBC casts. Patients with concomitant anticoagulant therapy (n = 11) showed higher percentages of RBC casts than those without anticoagulants (P = .02).

Conclusions
Particular attention to the extent of RBC casts on kidney biopsy is recommended in patients with IRGN because these portend worse renal dysfunction, more so in patients requiring anticoagulation (including for hemodialysis) because they are especially vulnerable to developing anticoagulant-related nephropathy.

Published: August 2023

Purpose: Over 60% of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans access Veterans Administration (VA) health care after military service. The purpose of this research is to describe the types of musculoskeletal service-connected disabilities distributed among these veterans. Methods: A retrospective cohort of 383,757 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans were searched for service-connected disability determinations using the Veterans Services Network Corporate Master File (VETSNET). Service-connected disabilities were grouped according to the types of diagnoses represented. Results: Of 383,757 included veterans, 347,643 (90.6%) had at least one musculoskeletal-related service-connected disability. The most common group of musculoskeletal disabilities was conditions of the spine, affecting 241, 636 (69.5%) veterans, limitations in the knee/leg motion (46.6%) and acute and chronic disorders (30.2%). The median number of musculoskeletal conditions contributing to the service connected disability per veteran was 2.8 ± 1.3 conditions. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder was the most common primary service connected disability for both men and women. Discussion: Musculoskeletal conditions as a source of service connected disability affects 90% of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. While the primary source of service connected disability is most often not musculoskeletal related, the overall burden of musculoskeletal conditions is very high with an average of 2.8 musculoskeletal conditions per veteran contributing to their disability.
Cooperation and Contest in Global and Regional Financial Safety Nets
Authors: Killian P.M. Erza 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe aftermath of major regional and global financial crisis always has tremendous impact on regional and global political and economic landscape. In several major regions of the world, financial crisis has led to the establishment and/or expansion of regional financial safety nets (FSNs), which acts a complement to current multilateral or global financial safety nets such as IMF. However, the establishment and expansion of these regional safety nets is not without consequences. This paper finds that regional safety nets, which came in line with the spirit of regionalism and regional integration, has major impacts on global financial architecture. First, it has created a new level of financial cooperation, in addition to the existing ones (namely the bilateral and multilateral level), including adding new actors to the financial system such as the regional monetary union. Second, regional FSNs are results of political action within states and among states which can affect its relationship with IMF. In this sense, at the time of crisis, countries need to bargain and cooperate at the domestic level, regional level and multilateral level simultaneously. Third, due to regional political consideration, countries may opt to lending and borrowing activities at the regional level, and increase the incentives for countries to do forum shopping. In sum, the development and growing importance of regional financial safety nets in global and regional politics should be assessed more carefully, particularly regarding its relationship with IMF.

Blowing the Whistle on Attempts to Appoint Unqualified People under the Guise of Enhancing Representation
Authors: McGregor Marié 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis case study will discuss a number of laws which interacted in the contexts of affirmative action, safety in the workplace and the duties of employees in this regard. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, the Employment Equity Act, the Protected Disclosures Act, the Engineering Profession Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Act are discussed to show the manner in which safety may be ensured where the employer has disregarded same. The question needs to be asked whether service delivery and safety can trump affirmative action. The courts suggested that service delivery can indeed trump affirmative action. However, in other cases, the courts seemed to suggest that this was not possible. It is submitted, however, that affirmative action can never trump safety. The case sent a message to local governments to provide services in a sustainable manner and to create safe environments for communities, and by doing so, creating order and protection. In doing so, municipalities have to prioritise training where needed to effectively and safely deliver services. In the absence of these, employees may blow the whistle, use their professional bodies and relevant laws to ensure safety and protect themselves, co-employees and the public.
Ethics in Managerial Accounting: Today’s Challenges in USA
Authors: Ghose Keeron Sreyoshi 
Published: August 2023

AbstractWhile accounting, both financial and managerial, is used worldwide and there are increasing efforts to bring about harmonization among accounting practices within and among nations the, understanding of such practices is still not up to par with expectations. This leads to concerns about standard practices and serious concerns about ethical practices in all forms of accounting. This paper addresses differences between financial and managerial accounting. Since financial accounting is mandated by legal requirements of governments there is more opportunity in managerial accounting for ethical discrepancies and malpractices. This paper also addresses ethical concerns in managerial accounting.
Playing The Game: Reform Politicians In The Cebu Traditional Political Field
Authors: Sanchez Phoebe Zoe Maria U. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe study looks into the viability of reform politics in Cebu’s traditional political field. This traces how politicians labor to assert and institutionalize political settlements such as “diskarte” or rationalization and legitimacy of position. The researcher found out three sources of political “habitus” [Bourdieu’s appropriation of political structure and political culture] that formed part of Cebu City’s political institutions, namely: a.) the gatekeepers who are reform-grassroots-petty politicians at the barangay level; b.) the public interest articulators at the Sangguniang Panglungsod (City Council) level; and the c.) Archetypes who are trapo aristocratic politicians competing for the seat of mayor at the city executive office.The researcher presents six (6) purposively chosen gate keepers known as reform-grassroots-politicians at the barangay level; three (3) public interest articulators at the city council, and, three (3) mayors contesting for the city’s seat of power -- the executive office in the local government unit of Cebu City. The researcher assessed each one according to their narratives as politicians, their distinctive identity claims, their views on Cebu’s political dynamics and political norm, their annual revenue generation and budgetary allocations and their understanding on the following institutions: a.) the cabo system (system of enrolment under specific patrons), b.) the lansaderas (ballot switching schemes during elections) and the c.) inangayan (vote buying system).The study shows that the “habitus” of the aforementioned three institutions [gate keepers, public interest articulators, and archetypes] are so inter-twined that the whole field cannot operate independent from any one of them. However, for the purpose of this paper, the habitus of the gate keepers is focused. In the paper, the three habitus have a hybridized multiplicity of complex structure-culture-nexus now distinctively operative in Cebu City’s political field that have reforms rooted only at the grassroots level and not yet embedded in the entire structure of the political order.Neo-patrimonialism is still present although held in control due to the pressures from the grassroots below who constantly assert the legitimacy of political change in terms of assets reforms and assets redistribution. Meanwhile the go-between public interest articulators stay at the middle ground in the tugof-war between reforms and neo-patrimonial archetypal and traditional politics.

Abstractto understand the syllable representation in Korean script ‘Hangul’, modeling study was conducted. Two types of models were constructed by the existence of syllable representation. These models were trained and tested through the same stimulus list. As the result, whereas the model, which did not have the syllable layer, can only simulate the word frequency effect, the model, which had the syllable layer, can simulate the both of word frequency and syllable frequency effects. This result proposed the syllable representation contributed the stabilization of representation.

AbstractRotenone is a pesticide that is widely used to kill insects and nuisance fish in lakes. Its used as Parkinson’s Disease (PD) model inducer. The mechanism of toxicity of rotenone is primarily mediated by its potential as mitochondrial complex I inhibition. Centella asiatica (CA) is known as neurotonic, but how its potential protection in Parkinsonism is still unclear. In this study, we examined the effect of CA to Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) as a neuroprotectant and apoptosis as hallmark of PD in rotenone-induced zebrafish (Danio rerio). Besides, we also measured the zebrafish motility and dopamine (DA) level in the brain. We used adult zebrafish (8 months). Its exposed to 5 μg/L rotenone and co-incubated with methanolic extract of CA by several concentrations which are 2.5, 5 and 10 μg/mL for 28 days. Motility observed for 5 minutes at 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Measurement DA by ELISA, BDNF and apoptosis by immunohistochemistry. The results showed that CA significantly (p<0.05) increased motility and dopamine level in all concentration of extract. Interestingly, BDNF expression in 5 and 10 μg/mL groups had no significantly difference to the control group. Concentration 10 μg/mL could protect dopaminergic neuron from rotenone toxicity due to significantly (p<0.05) decreased compare to rotenone group. Together, these data suggest that methanolic extract of CA could protect Parkinsonian syndrome conserved dopaminergic neuron through increasing BDNF as neurotrophic factor.
Frailty Approach to Age at First Birth in Uttar Pradesh-India
Authors: Pandey Ajay , Nath Dilip C 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn Indian State of Uttar-Pradesh, there is always pressure among newly-wed to conceive early and have births. Research studies have documented relationship between age at first birth & fertility, besides the socio-demographic factors that influence them. Study aims answering such relationships by the use of frailty models. Indian fertility is characterized as too-early-too-fast. By age-30 majority women would have completed the childbearing. Forty percent of the women had first birth below 18 while 95% experienced before reaching age 26. Births at younger age are reflection on poor enforcement of child-marriage restraint act-18 for girls & 21 for boys. The data is from NFHS-3[3]. The frailty model capturing the unobserved heterogeneity in the event time is preferred over the standard survival models. For the current study, inverse Gaussian with log-logistic baseline-hazard is used, as it fits the data well. Age at marriage and women’s literacy significantly determines the Age at First Birth. The model also predicts significant frailty with variance parameter 0.11
