Atribut Dewan dan Corporate Social Responsibility: Kinerja Keuangan sebagai Variabel Moderasi
Authors: Anita Anita , Eren Eren 
Published: October 2022

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure has been an important aspect of assessing companies these days. Indonesian listed companies have begun to disclose CSR through sustainability reports because they understand the importance of CSR in improving company efficiency and reputation. CSR certainly cannot be separated from corporate governance, namely the attributes of the board. Therefore, the study was implemented with the aim of discovering the impact of board attributes on CSR with financial performance as a moderation variable. CSR in the study was measured using GRI standards. Researchers used associative causal research aimed at examining the relationship of the studied variables. Secondary data that formed in the quantitative approach were obtained from the annual and sustainability report of listed companies contained on the IDX website. Samples from the study were sorted out using the purposive sampling method which amounted to 52 companies. The study has managed to show that board independence had a significant influence on CSR. Financial performance as the moderating variable weakened the board size-CSR and CEO duality-CSR relationships. Study results can be utilized by readers and subsequent researchers in enriching the existing literature on CSR topics.

Abstract
—The demand for detailed bio- and lithostratigraphic research of the Prisayan Formation is significant because of the lack of its stratotype section. This leads to confusion about the meaning of the stratigraphic volume of the Prisayan Formation. On the basis of the results of a comprehensive research, a lectostratotype section that covers the whole section of the Prisayan Formation is proposed. The following three subformations are identified in the formation on the basis of lithological criteria: lower (Ust-Balei), middle (Idansk), and upper (Sukhov). Stratigraphic correlation of the Prisayan Formation with the coeval deposits of the West Siberian Plate is carried out. The common development trends of typical units of the flora of the Siberian paleofloral region are revealed in West Siberia and the Irkutsk Basin. The observed tendencies make it possible to compare the beds with Coniopteris murrayana, Sphenobaiera czekanowskiana from the lower subformation with the fossil plant assemblage of the Sharapovo Horizon; the beds with Coniopteris snigirevskiae from the middle subformation with the fossil plant assemblage of the Nadoyakh Horizon; and the beds with Raphaelia diamensis and Phoenicopsis irkutensis with the fossil plant assemblage of the Laidin Horizon of West Siberia. The Prisayan-1 palynoassemblage (PA) from the lower and middle subformations correlate with palynozones 5–7 of West Siberia. The Prisayan-2 PA corresponds to palynozone 8 of West Siberia. The paleobotanical and palynological data suggest that the stratigraphic volume of the Prisayan Formation is the upper Pliensbachian–Aalenian of the Lower–Middle Jurassic. This paper touches upon the history of accumulation of the Prisayan Formation, as well as the evolution of the paleorelief and vegetation.
A Simple Analytical Model for Oil Production from Partially Fractured Reservoirs to Estimate Size of Finite Fracture Networks
Authors: Ozkaya Sait I. 
Published: October 2022

Summary
Most oil reservoirs are partially fractured, characterized by finite fracture networks (FFNs) in a sea of isolated fractures. It is necessary to determine size and shape of each FFN explicitly for reservoir simulation. FFN size is correlated with fracture connectivity, which is a function of fracture density, length, and angular scatter. Oil production from FFNs exhibits a long-term dual-porosity behavior. The initial fast rate (Phase I) represents depletion of matrix within FFN, and the subsequent gradual decline phase represents radial flow from the matrix outside the FFN perimeter. Thus, FFN size can be calculated from the cumulative oil production from Phase I, taking into account the pore volume, oil compressibility, and pressure decline. It is not always possible to identify the dual-porosity behavior by visual inspection. A mathematical model is needed to estimate FFN size. For this purpose, a set of three fundamental equations are derived for production rate, cumulative production, and pressure as a function of time. The model is a modified and simplified version of material balance equations with easy analytical solution. It is designed for fractured reservoirs with layer-bound fractures. Production is single-phase black oil under depletion drive.
The analytical model was tested on four vertical wells. The unknown parameters such as FFN size, size of well drainage area, and fracture aperture are adjusted until an optimum fit to actual production data is obtained. FFN elliptical shape is estimated from average fracture strike and strike standard deviation. The results are validated by FFN size, fracture length, and aperture measurements from borehole images. The results are approximate but sufficient for preliminary mapping of FFNs with location and size and other critical attributes including fracture drainage area, matrix block size, fracture aperture, and permeability in partially fractured reservoirs.
Molecular Structure: The First and Most Significant Factor in the Precipitation of Asphaltenes
Authors: Hassanzadeh Masoumeh , Abdouss Majid 
Published: October 2022

SummaryFor decades, asphaltene deposits have been one of the most common problems in the oil industry in production, transportation, refining, processes, and storage. To find a solution, researchers have always faced three intertwined challenges of accurate structure determination, properties investigation, and precipitation prediction because asphaltenes in one oil sample are “a spectrum of complex molecular structures with very close masses.” Various models and theories of the inherent self-association of asphaltenes have been presented. All of them confirm the role of the unique molecular structure of asphaltenes as “the initiator” of the precipitation process. The driving factor for self-association is π-π stacking of aromatic rings. Recent advances in molecular dynamics (MD) calculations confirm the results of recent models. After the molecular structure, thermodynamic parameters (P, T, and composition) are the influencing agents on precipitation. Any change in these parameters causes an increase or decrease in the intensity of the precipitation. Due to the greater importance of molecular structure over other parameters, until the great challenge of characterization of asphaltenes is not specific, the validation of sediment prediction models will undoubtedly be accompanied by errors. In this paper, we review essential types of asphaltene self-association models and precipitation prediction methods. As an introduction and emphasis on the understanding of this inherent phenomenon, the weight, molecular structures, analysis methods, and ambiguities are investigated.
Transient Flow in Porous Electrosprays
Authors: Wright Peter , Wirz Richard E 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Porous ionic electrospray emitters have received significant interest for space propulsion due to their performance and operational simplicity. We have developed a diffusion equation for describing the transient flow response in a porous electrospray emitter, which allows for the prediction of the settling time for flow in the porous emitter. This equation accounts for both the change in liquid storage at exposed pores on the emitter with pressure, and viscous diffusion through Darcy's law. Transient flow solutions are provided for the most common emitter topologies: pillar, cone, and wedge. Transient flow solutions describe the settling time and magnitude of current overshoot from porous electrosprays. Comparing diffusion of pressure to the onset delay model for electrospray emission shows that diffusion is most relevant at higher voltages and when a porous reservoir is used. Accounting for multiple emission sites on the wedge geometry shows that emission sites settle in proportion to emission site spacing to the power -1.74. Applying the diffusion equation to published results shows good agreement between analytical predictions and experimental data.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background: Capillary Refill Time (CRT) is a marker of peripheral perfusion usually performed at fingertip; however, its evaluation at other sites/position may be advantageous. Moreover, arm position during CRT assessment has not been fully standardized.
Methods: We performed a pilot prospective observational study in 82 healthy volunteers. CRT was assessed: a) in standard position with participants in semi-recumbent position; b) at 30° forearm elevation, c and d) at earlobe site in semi-recumbent and supine position. Bland-Altman analysis was performed to calculate bias and limits of agreement (LoA). Correlation was investigated with Pearson test.
Results: Standard finger CRT values (1.04 sec [0.80;1.39]) were similar to the earlobe semi-recumbent ones (1.10 sec [0.90;1.26]; p=0.52), with Bias 0.02±0.18 sec (LoA -0.33;0.37); correlation was weak but significant (r=0.28 [0.7;0.47]; p=0.01). Conversely, standard finger CRT was significantly longer than earlobe supine CRT (0.88 sec [0.75;1.06]; p<0.001) with Bias 0.22±0.4 sec (LoA -0.56;1.0), and no correlation (r=0,12 [-0,09;0,33]; p=0.27]. As compared with standard finger CRT, measurement with 30° forearm elevation was significantly longer (1.17 sec [0.93;1.41] p=0.03), with Bias -0.07±0.3 sec (LoA -0.61;0.47) and significant correlation of moderate degree (r=0.67 [0.53;0.77; p<0.001).
Conclusions: In healthy volunteers, the elevation of the forearm significantly prolongs CRT values. CRT measured at the earlobe in semi-recumbent position may represent a valid surrogate when access to the finger is not feasible, whilst earlobe CRT measured in supine position yields different results. Research is needed in critically ill patients to evaluate accuracy and precision at different sites/positions.
Increased aerosol scattering drives recent monsoon rainfall decrease over northern India
Authors: Ying Tong , Li Jing , Jiang Zhongjing , Liu Guanyu , Zhang Zhenyu , Zhang Lu , Dong Yueming 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The climate effects of atmospheric aerosols remain uncertain. Part of the uncertainty arises from the fact that scattering and absorbing aerosols have distinct or even opposite effects, and thus their relative fraction is critical in determining the overall aerosol climate effect. Here, combining observations and global model simulations, we demonstrate that changes in the fraction of scattering and absorbing aerosols play the major role in driving the monsoon precipitation decrease over northern India, especially the Gangetic Basin, since the 1980s. Increased aerosol scattering, or decreased aerosol absorption, manifested as a significant increase of aerosol single scattering albedo (SSA), causes strong cooling in the lower atmosphere, suppressing vertical convection and thus reducing precipitation. Further analysis of the Couple Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 multi-model-mean historical simulation shows that failing to capture the SSA increase over northern India is likely an important source of the simulated precipitation trend bias in this area.

Abstract
Background: Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae (Xoo), the causal agent of rice bacterial blight disease has been extensively characterized and loci against different races identified. Many rice cultivars have been developed and utilized to combat the disease, however due to rapid evolution of Xoo, a number of resistances have broken-down. The continuous challenge of ever evolving Xoo and breakdown of resistance in cultivated rice varieties makes it even more important to discover new loci to enable sustainable durable deployment of broad-spectrum resistance genes in elite breeding lines. African germplasm can be exploited as reservoirs of useful genetic variation for bacterial blight (BB) resistance. This study was conducted to identify loci associated to BB resistance and new genetic donors for breeding program.
Results: To identify candidate sources of resistance for advancing breeding, we used highly four virulent strains of Xoo (PXO99, MAI1, BAI3 and Xoo3-1) to screen 78 East African accessions by genome-wide association studies. The core genetic base of the diverse accessions exhibited high degree of resistance to the Xoo strains. 50.63% of the accessions were highly resistant to the Philippines strain PX099, while 20.25% were highly susceptible to the virulent West African strain MAI1. Two novel resistant loci significantly associated hotspots were identified using 1901 SNPs. The two hits were located on chromosome 12 (Xa25) and Chr. 6 (Xa7, Xa27, Xa33).
Conclusions: Our finding have identified novel loci that gives a useful basis for more investigation and a wide core genetic pool of high resistance for broad-spectrum resistance genetic improvement.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background: the increasing number of older adults and the inherent disabilities of human aging have been one of the biggest challenges in the health field. Hence, health technologies have been widely explored to improve the quality of life of older adults. In particular, technologies based on heart rate variability (HRV), which measures the decrease of vagal tone and sedentary behaviours in age, could be remotely used in older adults’ care. In turn, this measure has been only made available for clinical testing environments, laboratories, and hospitals. This paper presents a platform named SMH (Senior Mobile Health), which supports the development of a complete system composed of mobile apps deployed in wearables as well as web systems for the remote monitoring of the HRV data of older adults.
Results: we conducted a real-world case study with 89 older adults using the SMH platform and validated the results by comparing them with those provided by a reference clinical tool, the Kubios HRV.
Conclusions: we conclude the SMH platform can aggregate an important value to older adults’ care assisting in rehabilitation processes by health professionals.
Exposure to the Family Wellbeing program and associations with empowerment, health, family and cultural wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples: A cross-sectional analysis
Authors: Williamson Leonie Malezer , Baird Leslie , Tsey Komla , Cadet-James Yvonne , Whiteside Mary , Hunt Nadine , Lovett Raymond 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background: Empowerment is a concept commonly incorporated into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing programs. The Family Wellbeing Program is an empowerment program developed in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that has been widely delivered to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia for close to 30 years. To date, there has been limited quantitative analysis of how this program may be linked to health and empowerment outcomes.
Methods: Cross sectional analysis of Mayi Kuwayu, the National Study of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Wellbeing, baseline data (n= 9,843). Binary regression models were performed to calculate Prevalence Ratios (PRs) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) to examine the association between personal control, life satisfaction, general health, family functioning and cultural wellbeing outcomes for Family Wellbeing participants (n=718) compared to non-participants (n=9,125)
Results: Compared to non-FWB participants, FWB participants are more likely to be female (67.1% versus 58.4%), be aged 35-54 (41.8% versus 32%) and live in a remote area (17.7% versus 10.4%). FWB participants were more likely to have experienced both prison and youth detention Non-FWB (3.5% versus 1.4% of Non-FWB) and reported being removed from their families as children (Stolen) (7.0% versus 4.1% Non-FWB).
Significant associations were observed between FWB participation and a 13% increase in higher family functioning, a 74% increase in higher cultural wellbeing and a 21% in higher levels of local decision making in the local community compared to non-FWB participation. There was also significantly higher reporting of precursory health outcomes amongst the FWB participants such as quitting alcohol (26.4% versus 20.4%), regular exercise (67.7% versus 66.3%), quitting smoking (33.4% versus 31.9%) and educational attainment at the Year 12 level or above (57.8% FWB versus 53.2% in the Non-FWB).
Conclusion: There are significant associations between Family Wellbeing program and higher organisation and community level empowerment outcomes and some precursory health risk factors. Including physical exercise, alcohol use and smoking; and educational attainment among FWB participants compared to non-FWB participants. The results may suggest that community level relational and cultural indicators are highly relevant to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community empowerment model, while the process of when and how individual or psychological empowerment outcomes occur in such a model needs to be explored further.
Estimation of left ventricular end-diastolic volume by left ventricular arterial coupling and stroke volume: A prospective, observational study
Authors: Hayabuchi Mitsuyo , Matsuki Yuka , Kidoguchi Suhei , Shigemi Kenji 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (Ved) is a major determinant of cardiac preload. However, its use in determination of fluid management is limited by lack of a simple means to measure it noninvasively. This study presents a new noninvasive method that was validated against simultaneously measured Ved by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). The goal of this study was to develop and validate a method to estimate Ved in humans non-invasively from left ventricular arterial coupling (Ees/Ea) and stroke volume (SV).
Methods
Ees/Ea was approximated using four variables that can be measured noninvasively: end-systolic arterial pressure (Pes), diastolic arterial pressure (DBP), pre-ejection period (PEP), and ejection time (ET). A formula to derive Ved (Ved calc) using Ees/Ea was also devised. Ved measured using transthoracic echocardiography (Ved echo) was taken to be the actual value, and Ved calc and Ved echo were compared. The results are shown as mean values ± standard deviation.
Results
The 47 patients were 39 men and 8 women with a mean age of 24 ± 4 years, mean height of 169 ± 7 cm, and mean weight of 65 ± 12 kg. Ved echo was 91 ± 16 ml, and Ved calc was 102 ± 21 ml. There was a significant correlation between Ved echo and Ved calc (R2 = 0.88, p < 0.01). A Bland–Altman plot between Ved echo and Ved calc showed that the bias was − 17.4 ml.
Conclusions
The results suggest that Ved can be measured non-invasively from Ees/Ea and SV.
A meta-analytic cognitive framework of nudge and sludge
Authors: Luo Yu , Li Andrew , Soman Dilip , Zhao Jiaying 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Public and private institutions worldwide have gained considerable traction in developing interventions to alter people’s behaviors in predictable ways without limiting the freedom of choice or significantly changing the incentive structure. A nudge is designed to facilitate actions by minimizing friction, while a sludge is an intervention that inhibits actions by increasing friction. While the terms nudge and sludge have garnered significant attention, the underlying cognitive mechanisms behind these interventions remain largely unknown. Here, we develop a novel cognitive framework by organizing these interventions along six cognitive processes: attention, perception, memory, effort, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation. In addition, we conduct a meta-analysis of field experiments (i.e., randomized controlled trials) that contained real behavioral measures (n = 188 papers, k = 188 observations, N = 2,209,334 participants) from 2008 to 2021 to examine the effect size of these interventions targeting each cognitive process. Our findings demonstrate that interventions that change effort are more effective than interventions that change intrinsic motivation to alter behaviors. Nudge and sludge interventions had similar effect sizes. This new meta-analytic framework provides cognitive principles for organizing nudge and sludge with corresponding behavioral impacts. The insights gained from this framework help inform the design and development of future interventions based on cognitive insights.

Abstract
ABSTACT
A significant task in image processing is image denoising. Images and videos transmitted across communication channels may contain noise artefacts or other degradations that result from poor communication caused by noisy channels. In these application domains, image restoration has consistently been important to enhance visual quality as well as to increase the performance of subsequent activities, like analysis and interpretation. This study used a variety of imaging techniques, including MRI, CT, and ultrasonic pictures of the human abdomen. The Mean Absolute Difference (MAD) of nearby pixels is used to estimate noisy pixels. The handling window's median of uncorrupted pixels is used to swap out the noisy pixels that were found. By generating the internal covariance matrix with the help of the Extended Kalman Filter and utilising the Gray Wolf Optimization approach for parameter optimization, the recognition is prepared for some variations occurring in the time sequence.
