Authors: Abir Ashifur Rahman , Hossain Imran 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

The school buildings are critical pieces of infrastructure in every country. Several aspects, including structural safety, utility, and economic feasibility, must be carefully considered while creating these structures. The goal of this study is to look at the available research on the structural analysis and design of primary school buildings, particularly four-story structures, in Savar Upazila, Dhaka. This project paper presents the analysis and design of a four-story RCC school building at Dhorenda, Savar, Dhaka, for which we have designed the structural components (beam, column, slab, and foundations). Our building has a total area of 7.68 Katha. The site is located in Savar upazila near Dhaka. It is located about 12 meters South-East from the Dhaka-Aricha national highway. And about 100 meters South-East of Nabinagor market. The principal objective of this venture is to develop a 4 story school building to increase school capacity and accommodate more facilities for students. The BNBC Code and ACI 318 is followed during designing this project. Moreover, the alternative floor plans for the project is analyzed with respect of withstanding seismic and wind load according to the geological condition of the site. The project emphasizes the study's two primary components: structural analysis and design. The structural analysis entails applying the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) approach to evaluate the loads (self-weight, live load owing to occupancy, and wind load) and establishing the size of the structural elements to assure the building's stability. The ETABS software which is a finite element technique (FEM) is used to study and verify the structure under various loads. The design component of the research addresses the selection and size of structural elements (reinforced concrete columns, beams, and slabs). The output of the study is very helpful understand the difficulties of design and construction of a building and given a direction to smooth of the design process.

Abstract

This study investigated the anti-diabetic properties of the methanolic extract of Costus pictus rhizomes, a plant traditionally recognized for its role in diabetes management, using streptozotocin-induced diabetic Sprague Dawley rats as the experimental model. A total of 42 SD/NIN male rats were categorized into following four groups: a control group (Normal without disease induction or treatment), a diabetic control group, and two treatment groups receiving Costus pictus extract at oral doses of 50 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg body weight through gavaging. Over a four-week treatment period, key indicators such as body weight, blood glucose levels, biochemical markers were thoroughly evaluated. The results revealed a dose-dependent reduction in blood glucose levels, with the 250 mg/kg dose achieving a 52% reduction by the fourth week, compared to 49.5% at 50 mg/kg. Treated groups also exhibited improved lipid profiles, liver enzyme levels, and kidney function markers compared to diabetic controls. Histopathological analysis showed significant β-cell regeneration in treated groups, particularly at the higher dose, indicating the potential of Costus pictus to restore pancreatic function. This study highlights the therapeutic efficacy of Costus pictus in managing hyperglycaemia and mitigating metabolic dysfunctions associated with diabetes. The plant's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties likely contribute to its beneficial effects, making it a promising alternative to synthetic anti-diabetic agents. While the results are encouraging, further studies are needed to understand the detailed mechanisms of action, optimize dosing, and evaluate clinical efficacy in humans. These findings reinforce the potential of Costus pictus as a cost-effective and natural remedy for diabetes and its complication management.
The Role of the Organization in Promoting Information Security–Related Behavior Among Resident Physicians in Hospitals in Germany: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study
Authors: Kraushaar Judith , Bohnet-Joschko Sabine 
Published: January 2025

Background
Nowadays, optimal patient care should be based on data-driven decisions. In the course of digitization, hospitals, in particular, are becoming complex organizations with an enormously high density of digital information. Ensuring information security is, therefore, essential and has become a major challenge. Researchers have shown that—in addition to technological and regulatory measures—it is also necessary for all employees to follow security policies and consciously use information technology (compliance), because noncompliance can lead to security breaches with far-reaching consequences for the organization. There is little empirical research on information security–related behavior in hospitals and its organizational antecedents.

Objective
This study aimed to explore the impact of specific job demands and resources on resident physicians’ information security–related compliance in hospitals through the mediating role of work engagement and information security–related awareness.

Methods
We used a cross-sectional, survey-based study design to collect relevant data from our target population, namely resident physicians in hospitals. For data analysis, we applied structural equation modeling. Our research model consisted of a total of 7 job demands and resources as exogenous variables, 2 mediators, and information security–related compliance as the endogenous variable.

Results
Overall, data from 281 participating physicians were included in the analyses. Both mediators—work engagement and awareness—had a significant positive effect on information security–related compliance (β=.208, P=.001 vs β=.552, P<.001). Quality of leadership was found to be the only resource with a significant indirect effect on physicians’ compliance, mediated by work engagement (β=.086, P=.03). Furthermore, awareness mediated the relationships between information security–related communication and information security–related compliance (β=.192, P<.001), as well as between further education and training and the endogenous variable (β=.096, P=.02). Contrary to our hypothesis, IT resources had a negative effect on compliance, mediated by awareness (β=–.114, P=.02).

Conclusions
This study provides new insights into how a high standard of information security compliance among resident physicians could be achieved through strengthening physicians’ security work engagement and awareness. Hospital management is required to establish an information security culture that is informative and motivating and that raises awareness. Particular attention should be paid to the quality of leadership, further education and training, as well as clear communication.

Authors: Varghese Kevin Johny , Singh Som , Kamali Emily , Qureshi Fahad , Jamal Aleena , Qureshi Fawad 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Online digital materials are integral to patient education and health care outcomes in dermatology. Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a common condition, often associated with underlying diseases such as insulin resistance. Patients frequently search the internet for information related to this cutaneous finding. To our knowledge, the quality of online educational materials for AN has not been systematically examined.

Objective
The primary objective of this study was to profile the readability and quality of the content of publicly available digital educational materials on AN and identify questions frequently asked by patients.

Methods
This study analyzed publicly available internet sources to identify the most frequent questions searched by patients regarding AN using the Google Rankbrain algorithm. Furthermore, available articles on AN were evaluated for quality and reading level using metrics such as the Brief DISCERN score, and readability was determined using three specific scales including the Flesch-Kincaid score, Gunning Fog index, and the Coleman-Liau index, based on literature.

Results
Patients most frequently accessed facts on AN from government sources, which comprised 30% (n=15) of the analyzed sources. The available articles did not meet quality standards and were at a reading level not appropriate for the general public. The majority of articles (n=29/50, 58%) had substandard Brief DISCERN scores, failing to meet the criteria for good quality.

Conclusions
Clinicians should be aware of the paucity of valuable online educational material on AN and educate their patients accordingly.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper employs the machine learning method to identify the effect of the government’s environmental attention on Chinese food industry productivity. Using the China Industrial Enterprises Dataset and Government Work Report data from 2004 to 2013, we combine sentiment analysis, causal forests and deep neural networks to evaluate the effect of environmental attention on firm-level Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in the Chinese food industry. Results show that the government’s environmental attention has a positive impact on food firms’ productivity, which arises from the direct effects of firms’ reactions to environmental attention, as well as the indirect effects resulting from agricultural advancement. This paper fully integrates machine learning and natural language processing methodologies, providing a new perspective for social science research.
William A. Paton’s Gospel of Accounting as Reflected in the Accountant’s Handbook
Authors: Kern Beth B. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
In the early 1930s, William Paton undertook editing the second edition of the Accountant’s Handbook, a compendium of guidance for practicing accountants. Later in life, Paton (1978) indicated that the Handbook was a vehicle for his being able to “spread the Paton gospel more widely.” Paton is viewed as one of the most influential accounting theorists of that time. This paper examines Paton’s edition of the Handbook as a means for his bringing his “gospel” from academia to practice during a volatile period in business and accounting history.

Employee Satisfaction as a Form of Insurance in Challenging Times: Evidence from Dimensional Employee Satisfaction
Authors: Hyun Soonchul 
Published: January 2025

SYNOPSIS
This study examines the role of employee satisfaction in mitigating the adverse economic impacts faced by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 companies during challenging times. It hypothesizes that employee satisfaction serves as a strategic buffer through the mechanism of psychological resilience, enhancing firm performance under conditions of uncertainty and hardship. By analyzing a sample of these companies, the study finds that those with higher levels of preexisting employee satisfaction outperform others during difficult periods, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The subdimensions of employee satisfaction also support the insurance-like effects on performance from short- and long-term perspectives. Despite previous studies addressing the link between employee satisfaction and firm performance, there remains a gap in understanding how employee satisfaction concretely benefits organizations in uncertain environments. This paper aims to bridge this gap and provides managers with insights on the importance of strategically investing in human capital as a key factor of sustainability.

Investor Reactions to Treasury Regulations: The Case of GILTI
Authors: Marino Amanda R. , Watson Luke 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
We examine the firm value effects of Treasury Regulations, a powerful source of tax law that prior research has largely overlooked. The hasty enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) left interpretive gaps for Treasury to fill. We employ Treasury Regulations related to the TCJA’s Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provisions as an identifiable setting that impacts many firms. We predict that investors will react negatively (positively) to regulations that investors expect to increase (decrease) firms’ future tax burdens or the uncertainty thereof. We identify firms affected by GILTI through their disclosures and find significant market reactions for these firms around the issuance of Treasury Regulations related to the GILTI provisions. Importantly, we find that these reactions vary cross-sectionally on observable characteristics and that institutional investors drive these reactions. The study improves our understanding of how administrative law shapes tax policy by documenting shareholder reactions to Treasury Regulations.

Published: January 2025

SUMMARY

Objective:
This study aimed to assess the fracture resistance of chairside computer assisted design and computer assisted manufacturing (CAD-CAM) lithium disilicate partial and full-coverage crowns and veneers for maxillary canines.

Methods and Materials:
Forty-eight restorations for maxillary right canines (12 per group) were designed as follows: (1) partial crown with finish line in the upper middle third; (2) partial crown with finish line in the lower middle third; (3) traditional labial veneer; and (4) traditional full-coverage crown. Restorations were fabricated out of lithium disilicate (Amber Mill, Hassbio) using a chairside CAD-CAM system (Cerec Dentsply Sirona). Partial and full crowns and veneers were treated with a primer system (Monobond Plus, Ivoclar Vivadent) and cemented using dual-cure resin cement (Variolink Esthetic, Ivoclar Vivadent) and cemented to printed resin dies. Subsequently, the restorations were subjected to 10,000 thermocycles between 5°C and 55°C with a dwell time of 30 seconds. The restorations were then loaded axially on the incisal edge in compression to fracture with a flat indenter.

Results:
Full-coverage crowns displayed the highest fracture resistance (809±28.57 N) followed by partial crowns with finish line in lower third (649±21.74 N) and crowns with finish line in upper third (421±17.46 N). Veneers displayed the lowest fracture resistance values (259±15.69 N).

Conclusions:
The fracture resistance of partial and full-coverage crowns and veneers was significantly influenced by the design. Full coverage crowns displayed the highest fracture resistance and partial crowns showed higher fracture resistance than traditional veneers.

Published: January 2025

This article is aimed at describing the model of transfer of property to heirs in the inheritance of the Muslim community of Borneo-Nusantara. On the one hand, the Muslim community of Borneo is obedient and subject to the doctrine of Islam, but on the other hand, they also cannot avoid the local culture that lives in the Borneo community. This research is classified as descriptive-qualitative research using a legal sociology approach. Data collection was carried out through electronic and manual searches from sources in the form of books, manuscript articles, or other information materials related to the problem being studied. Data analysis was carried out using content analysis techniques. This study found that there were at least 6 models of transfer of property to heirs practiced by the Muslim Community of Borneo-Nusantara, namely: 1) farāidh-ishlāh, 2) ishlāh (deliberation), 3) hibah-wasiat, 4) hibah, 5) wasiat, and 6) munāsakhahwhich are carried out by each ethnic group in every place in Borneo-Nusantara according to the needs and socio-cultural of the surrounding community. This study concludes that the inheritance system among the Muslim community of Borneo Nusantara is implemented dynamically following the socio-cultural development of the local community. This phenomenon is a unique characteristic of the transfer of property in the inheritance system of the Muslim community of Borneo-Nusantara that contributes practically to solving inheritance problems.
