The IL and FS Financial Statement Fraud: A Failure of Governance, Auditing, and Regulation

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The collapse of Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS) in 2018 marked a pivotal moment in India's financial history, revealing deep structural flaws within the Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) ecosystem. This paper critically examines the multi-dimensional factors that led to the IL&FS crisis, including corporate governance lapses, poor risk management practices, manipulated financial reporting, and regulatory inefficiencies. By analysing a broad range of authoritative sources, it explores the complex web of relationships and operational decisions that fuelled the downfall. Special emphasis is placed on the role of auditors, credit rating agencies, and the oversight (or lack thereof) by regulatory bodies. This analysis not only underscores the consequences of unchecked financial mismanagement but also highlights the critical need for accountability, systemic risk detection, and more stringent regulatory frameworks to safeguard financial stability.

Improved Global Irradiance Decomposition by Sky Condition Classification from Measured Spectral Clearness Indices

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

This manuscript describes a decomposition algorithm for deriving the broadband direct normal (DNI) and diffuse horizontal (DHI) irradiances from one-minute spectral global horizontal irradiance measurements performed by the SolarSIM-G. The algorithm was calibrated and validated at four stations across Canada (Ottawa, Varennes, Egbert, and Devon) and at one station in China (Xianghe), which cumulatively represent a seven-year data set. For the DNI estimation, the root mean square error (RMSE) ranged from 26 W/m 2 to 48 W/m2, while the largest mean bias error (MBE) was 4 W/m 2 . For the DHI estimation, the RMSE ranged from 14 W/m 2 to 27 W/m 2 , while the largest MBE was 3 W/m 2 . In addition, the integrated DNI and DHI errors for each station were less than 1% and 2%, respectively. The described method is an alternative to other measurement techniques for obtaining all three irradiance components.
Activation of the WNT7B/β-Catenin Pathway Initiates GLUT1 Expression and Promotes Aerobic Glycolysis in Colorectal Cancer Cells

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Glucose is an important energy source for tumors, however the molecular mechanisms by which tumor cells regulate glucose uptake remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the regulation mechanism of the WNT7B/β-catenin pathway for glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1)-mediated glucose metabolism in colorectal cancer. Here, we found that WNT7B expression levels were significantly increased in colorectal cancer tissues and closely associated with the clinical stage and lymph node metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer. Next, we confirmed that WNT7B significantly increased the glucose consumption and lactic acid levels in SW480 cells by overexpressing WNT7B. Additionally, gene and protein levels of GLUT1 were increased in WNT7B-overexpressing SW480 cells. However, WNT7B knockdown reversed these effects. WNT7B also enhanced GLUT1-mediated cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. WNT7B overexpression inhibited the effect of glucose deprivation on apoptosis. The WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway inhibitor, LGK974, inhibited WNT7B secretion, leading to GLUT1 levels downregulation and promotion of cell apoptosis. Ectopic tumor xenograft model experiments revealed that WNT7B promoted tumor progression in mice. Overall, our results suggest that WNT7B promotes β-catenin entry into the nucleus to initiates GLUT1 transcription, increases glucose transport and consumption, and enhances aerobic glycolysis, thus promoting tumor progression in colorectal cancer cells.
Delaying the Administration of Intravesical Chemotherapy Improves its Dwell Time

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective : There is no conclusive evidence demonstrating the effects of delaying a single dose of intravesical chemotherapy (IVC) by 24 h compared to immediate instillation of the agent post tumour resection. The aim of this study was to determine whether delaying IVC by 24 h would have an effect on dwell time of the agent in the bladder, as effective treatment is a critical balance between exposure time, drug concentration and the reduction of unwanted effects. Materials and Methods : This prospective study consisted of 42 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed superficial bladder cancer. Patients were allocated into 2 groups. The first group consisted of 22 patients who had either intravesical mitomycin C (MMC) (1 mg/ml) or intravesical epirubicin (1 mg/ml) instilled before the removal of a catheter placed at the time of surgery (immediate group). The second group consisted of 20 patients who had either MMC or epirubicin instilled intravesically via a Lofric catheter placed 24 h after removal of the original catheter (delayed group). In both groups, the catheters were removed after instillation and the patients were encouraged to retain the IVC agent for as long as possible, to a maximum of 60 min. Results : In the immediate group, the patients retained the agent for a mean of 36 min (range 0-60, standard deviation 20), whilst in the delayed group patients retained the agent for 58 min (range 30-60, standard deviation 6.7). This difference is significant ( P <0.001 Mann-Whitney U -test). Conclusion : The recommended dwell-time for the various intravesical chemotherapeutic agents is 60 min. This was rarely achieved in the immediate treatment group but by delaying the administration of the agent for 24 h, a significantly longer contact time was achieved.
Inter UAV communication using zigbee for formation control

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Formation flying of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has become a topic in rapid development due to the high-performance UAVs and its many potential advantages. Formation control supports collaborative movements. It allows wider sensing coverage which leads to improved surveillance capability and enhanced situational awareness for a UAV fleet. Formation control requires UAVs to fly based on both information from itself and other UAVs. The most common centralized leader-follower formation control may suffer significantly if the leading UAV is accidentally broken down or losses connection during a mission. When such situation happens, the whole fleet is likely to be paralyzed since the rest lacks information from the leader to carry on the mission. A more robust decentralized formation control is expected to overcome this issue. Such control requires support from an effective decentralized inter-UAV communication. Communication device ZigBee allows a long-distance transmission and suitable data rate to support the UAVs’ inter communication. Its ability of multiple hop transmission and Mesh networking allows a possibility of large-scale decentralized communication of UAV fleet. Therefore, ZigBee has a great potential for developing effective decentralized formation control. This project developed a ZigBee inter-UAV communication scheme with decentralized mesh network. A formation control simulation is conducted to test this scheme and the result demonstrated a reliable communication for formation control.
nJ-class all-PM fiber tunable femtosecond laser from 1800 nm to 2050 nm via a highly efficient SSFS

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Nowadays, the request for femtosecond lasers operating between 1.7 μm and 2 μm is continuously growing for many applications. Mode-locked Holmium- or Thulium-doped fiber lasers based on Saturable Absorber Mirror (SAM) are typically the first approach to generate pulses in this spectral range but this technique suffers from a lack of tunability. Indeed, the operating wavelength is fixed by the SAM and the gain fiber. Another way to reach the 2 μm-spectral range consists to exploit the nonlinear phenomena appearing in optical fibers and in particular the Soliton-Self Frequency Shift (SSFS) effect from an Erbium-fiber laser. Several systems based on this phenomenon allowed the generation of ultrashort pulses at different wavelengths and in different type of fibers (step-index, PCF, …). In this paper, we report on the design of a compact and robust all-Polarization-Maintaining (PM) fiber system entirely based on commercial PM components. This system allows to generate a single femtosecond pulse continuously tunable from 1700 nm to 2050 nm. We also demonstrate that the sub-150 fs pulses are transform-limited over all the spectral range and thanks to an optimized rate conversion close to 50 %, the pulse energy and the peak power can reach the nJclass and the kW-class respectively, which represents a gain a of factor 2 compared to the previous works.

Relationship between matrix metalloproteinases MMP‐2, MMP‐9, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases‐1 and IL‐5, IL‐8 in nasal polyps

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Nasal polyps (NP), a subgroup of chronic rhinosinusitis, are characterized by interleukin 5 (IL‐5) mediated infiltration of eosinophils in sinus mucosa, leading to pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, thickening of the epithelial basement membrane and tissue edema. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) constitute a large group of Zn 2+ dependent endopeptidases with the ability to degrade extracellular matrix and are possibly responsible for the development of tissue edema in chronic sinusitis. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the expression of MMP‐2, MMP‐9 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase‐1 (TIMP‐1) mRNA and to locate the distribution of MMP‐2, MMP‐9 and TIMP‐1 by immunohistochemistry in ethmoid sinus mucosa in NP. Furthermore the correlation between IL‐5 or IL‐8 and MMP‐2, MMP‐9 or TIMP‐1 is examined. Methods: Nasal polyps of 33 patients and 18 specimens of inferior turbinate mucosa were examined by real time RT‐PCR for MMP‐2, MMP‐9, TIMP‐1, IL‐5 and IL‐8 mRNA expression. Immunohistochemical labeling for MMP‐2, MMP‐9 and TIMP‐1 was performed. Results: Differences between both locations were detectable for MMP‐9 ( P < 0.001) and IL‐5 ( P = 0.003) but not for MMP‐2 ( P = 0.278), TIMP‐1 ( P = 0.515) and IL‐8 ( P = 0.386). Correlation was detected only between TIMP‐1 and IL‐5 ( r = 0.422, P = 0.014). Cytoplasmic staining of MMP‐2 was present in the apical part of the ciliated cells, submucosal glands and in smooth muscle cells. Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 was expressed in surface epithelium, in seromucous glands and in polymorphonuclear cells. Conclusions: Expression of MMP‐9 and IL‐5 mRNA are associated with NP. The correlation between IL‐5 and TIMP‐1 indicates the role of TIMP‐1 in maintaining the homeostasis in NP.
Liberty and Fraternities in the English Revolution: The Politics of London Artisans' Protests, 1635–1659

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Summary A series of artisan revolts in the London corporations between 1635 and 1659 found both radical ideas of individual liberty and the guild ethos of fraternity relevant to their aims. The apparent paradox of democratic demands combined with calls for stricter economic regulation can be explained only by examining the participants' concrete grievances and specific demands. The protesters were neither rising industrial capitalists nor a new wage-earning class, but small masters attempting to restrain competition, the use of cheap labour, and the enlargement of enterprises. Their concerns had something in common with those of the Levellers, but the movements diverged in significant ways.
A Quantitative Visualization of Flows around Airplanes

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In order to improve maneuver characteristics of airplanes, it is important to understand threedimensional flows around the airplanes in detail. In the present study, a quantitative visualization technique using a five-hole Pitot tube was used to get detailed flow pictures around a whole airplane body with a complex geometry. Also a small wind tunnel with a fully-automatic three-axis traverse gear was newly constructed for this study, and a miniature model of a commercial airplane was installed in the wind tunnel as a test species. The test results were illustrated in some color graphics to show and clarify the complex flow phenomena around the airplane, such as separation vortices which generate from the airplane wing tips, the engines, and the aircraft body.
Changes in lipid composition during the development of avocado fruits

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The fruits of the avocado tree (Persea americana Mill.) have high levels of lipids that can be important raw material for the extraction of oil for the food industry. In addition, avocado has several cultivars with different oil contents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the total lipid content and the fatty acid profile of different avocado cultivars during the maturation period. In this study, Breda, Fortuna, Hass, Margarida, Ouro Verde and Quintal avocado cultivars were used. Oil was obtained by extraction with hot solvent (Soxhlet) and after esterification, samples were injected in gas chromatograph. The highest total lipid contents were obtained by Breda, Hass and Margarida cultivars, with oleic fatty acid showing the greatest amount, ranging from 60% to 66%. Breda, Hass and Margarida cultivars are an alternative to the extraction of oil with great commercial potential to be exploited, avoiding wastes and increasing farmers' income.

Habermas' cognitive interests: teacher and student interests and their relationship in an adult education setting

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract : The cognitive interest theory of German philosopher Jurgen Habermas provided the theoretical foundation for this research. Habermas believes that all knowledge is constituted through one of three cognitive interests. Each of these three interests, the technical, practical, and emancipatory, implies specific ways of learning. A better understanding of these cognitive interests and how they affect learning could lead to more informed decisions concerning curriculum and instruction. Three questions were addressed. Did students with the same cognitive interest as their teacher perform better than students with a different cognitive interest than their teacher? Were any of the three cognitive interests more effective for learners? Were any of the three cognitive interests more effective for teachers? To determine the cognitive interest of each respondent in this study, the Cognitive Interest Inventory was developed by the researcher. Validity of the inventory was verified three ways. Content validity was verified by a jury of experts and a field test.
2024 Update to the 2020 ACC/AHA Clinical Performance and Quality Measures for Adults With Heart Failure

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This document describes performance measures for heart failure that are appropriate for public reporting or pay-for-performance programs and is meant to serve as a focused update of the "2020 ACC/AHA Clinical Performance and Quality Measures for Adults With Heart Failure: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Performance Measures." The new performance measures are taken from the "2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines" and are selected from the strongest recommendations (Class 1 or Class 3). In contrast, quality measures may not have as much evidence base and generally comprise metrics that might be useful for clinicians and health care organizations for quality improvement but are not yet appropriate for public reporting or pay-for-performance programs. New performance measures include optimal blood pressure control in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, and the use of guideline-directed medical therapy in hospitalized patients. New quality measures include the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced and preserved ejection fraction, the optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy prior to intervention for chronic secondary severe mitral regurgitation, continuation of guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with heart failure with improved ejection fraction, identifying both known risks for cardiovascular disease and social determinants of health, patient-centered counseling regarding contraception and pregnancy risks for individuals with cardiomyopathy, and the need for a monoclonal protein screen to exclude light chain amyloidosis when interpreting a bone scintigraphy scan assessing for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.
Sylvia Plaths the Bell Jar as Disability Narrative

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to explore the implications of disability theory for Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, a novel which has traditionally been read from a feminist perspective. Drawing on the work of many scholars in contemporary disability theory, including Rosemarie Garland Thomson, Arthur W. Frank, and G. Thomas Couser, this study seeks to examine the parallels between the experiences and struggles of the novel's protagonist Esther Greenwood and those commonly described in disability narratives. Although The Bell Jar is not typically read from through the critical lens of disability theory, such a reading offers a new perspective on the protagonist's depression and nervous breakdown, suggesting that Esther's mental distress should be understood not just as a response to patriarchal oppression but as an additional stigmatizing experience, one that compounds and intensifies her struggles and experiences as a woman. Such a reading also demonstrates many overlaps between experiences of femaleness and experiences of disability. However, these parallels are not absolute; to lump all women in the category of "disabled" is to ignore the unique concerns and experiences of disabled women, who face compounded oppressions, of both a patriarchal society and an ableist society. Thus, to say that Esther is "disabled" by patriarchal oppressions ignores the ways in which her experience of mental distress is also a stigmatizing and disabling experience.
