Theoretical and Practical Guidance for Incorporating Auditor-Client Communication in Experimental Research

In this paper, we provide theoretical and practical guidance on experimental design choices when incorporating auditor-client communication in audit research. We structure our discussion around Social Presence Theory, noting how elements of social presence impact theoretical predictions and the related experimental design. We then compare non-interactive, highly-controlled paper/computer-based studies with studies that involve automated interaction, interaction with an actor, or interaction between participants. We provide a discussion of best practices and pitfalls related to these different experimental design choices, including theoretical and logistical considerations, as well as recent innovations in this area. While our methodological discussion is nested in auditor-client communication research, these methods and logistical considerations are applicable to most accounting experiments designed to address research questions steeped in social psychology (i.e., contexts of human interaction).

Targeting cancer drug resistance by modulation of ERCC1-XPF and p53 activity

New disruptors of the ERCC1-XPF interaction interaction have a synergistic effect with traditional NER inhibitors, in p53 positive cells. Furthermore, the synergy can be resumed in p53 negative cells upon reactivation of the TP53 gene.

A Development of Kansei Words for Robotic Therapy and the Elderly

Age has physical and psychological effects. Mental or emotional access is more difficult. It is easily effected and can lead to suicide. Despite limited attention and solutions, robotic therapy has given the elderly new hope. The learning environment is used to stimulate positive emotion while interacting with robots. It has grown in popularity as a potential benefit for the elderly to improve their health and social consequences. The goal is to create a list of emotion keywords or Kansei Words that can be used in robotic learning therapy design. These findings lay the groundwork for future research on elderly Kansei Robotic therapy.

One Pot Bio-Synthesis of Palladium Nanoneedles and Its Bioavailability

Bioinorganic chemistry has achieved great importance by considering environmental and health issues. Here we present anticancer, antioxidant, good protein quencher single pot biosynthesized one dimensional palladium Nanoneedles (PdNNs) as a negative catalyst, where water plays a role of safer solvent. Needle-shaped one-dimensional PdNNs was synthesized using filamentous fungal stain of Aspergillus oryzae (biomass) was successively applied as a suppressant for the growth of human breast, colon and leukemia cancer Cell Lines. Quenching process of bovine serum albumin by PdNNs was spontaneous with hydrogen bonding and hydrophilic interaction. Interaction of protein and PdNNs showed binding constant in the range of 104 M-1 and one binding site. Forster's resonance energy transfer (FRET) theory applied to find out distance between the interaction of PdNNs and protein, where critical distance and energy transfer distance varies with change in concentrations of PdNNs 4.84 x 10−6 M to 9.69 x 10-7 M from 2.9 to 3.7 nm and 3.2 to 5.4 nm respectively. Radical scavenging method was applied to find out an antioxidant activity which of nanoneedles. Needle-shaped palladium nanoparticles and particle size found to be ̴ 3.0 nm using high-resolution transmission electron microscopes.

Narrative Elicitation as Ethnography: Methodological Insights From the Examination of Children's Perspective Marking in Amdo Tibetan

This paper employs a case study with Amdo Tibetan children to demonstrate the benefits of narrative elicitation for ethnographic language socialization research in under-studied languages. Primarily by examining spontaneous verbal interaction, existing language socialization research has demonstrated how salient grammatical resources shape children's understanding of cultural belief systems pertaining to sociality and the appropriate display of emotion. However, spontaneous data do not always capture children's full linguistic repertoires and competencies, and may therefore present a partial picture of their mastery over particular grammatical systems. One such area that remains to be studied is how children use interactional cues to build their emerging knowledge of grammatical perspective marking in Tibetan languages. This paper integrates narrative elicitation with ethnographic methods from language socialization to examine how Amdo Tibetan children mark perspective using evidentiality, the grammatically-obligatory encoding of knowledge source, an area not frequently documented in language socialization studies. Language socialization research involved 15-months of participant observation, audio-video recording, and analysis of spontaneous interactions with children aged 1–4. This ethnographic research found that adults' narratives highlighted local theories about the importance of compassion (Tib. snying rje) by using grammatical evidentiality to emphasize characters' direct experiences in the story-world. However, grammatical evidentiality was under-represented in children's spontaneous talk. To provide further insight into children's mastery of evidentiality in this culturally salient communicative genre, I conducted narrative elicitation tasks with seven Amdo Tibetan children, aged 2–7. By framing narrative elicitation tasks as forums for social interaction in family homes, I adapted a method traditionally used in experimentation to complement the study of naturalistic interaction. Interaction analysis of the elicited narratives found that family members positioned young children as novice narrators, leading to dialogic rather than monologic narratives. Young children co-constructed shared perspectives on narrated events, and used evidentiality in conventionalized ways by mirroring the grammatical forms of adults' previous utterances. By adapting narrative elicitation tasks to language socialization's ethnographic methods, this paper models how qualitative researchers can locate patterns in children's experiences of language across complementary settings of data collection, an endeavor that is particularly important to research with child speakers of under-documented languages.

Pengembangan Website Desa Dalam Meningkatkan Kualitas Pelayanan Publik di Desa Bona, Gianyar

The poor quality of public services in Indonesia must be addressed by the government. One of the government's efforts to improve the quality of public services is to take advantage of advances in information technology in the process of governance. This is known as e-government or electronic or internet-based government administration. The process of implementing e-government goes through several stages, namely presence (web presence), interaction (interaction), transactions (transactions), and transformation (transformation). This study aims to determine how the implementation of e-government through the provision and operation of village websites can improve the quality of public services in Bona Village. This research is a qualitative-descriptive type of research that describes and explains the results of research based on relevant data collected through observation and literature study. The analysis of the research data used the Miles and Huberman model which included the initial data collection stage, the data reduction stage, the data presentation stage, and then the conclusion drawing stage. The results of this study are the application of e-government is carried out through the provision and operation of village websites as a means of public services that are easy, practical, and efficient. There are several services related to village administration including writing business letters, complaint reports, writing letters for other purposes, and essential telephone services. These services can be accessed by the village community easily and through a mechanism or procedure that is not complicated, so that the community feels satisfied with the public services they get. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the application of e-government through the provision and operation of village websites that provide easy and practical public services can improve the quality of public services in Bona Village. Through the application of e-government, the implementation of village government can be carried out effectively, efficiently, transparently and accountably.

TRADISI MESAMBAKAY PADA KOMUNITAS ADAT TOLAKI-MEKONGGA (Studi Etnografi di Kabupaten Kolaka)

The research questions of this research are as follows: (1) How is the process of implementing mesambakay in Tolaki-Mekongga indigenous community in Kolaka Regency? (2) What is the symbolic meaning of mesambakay in the Tolaki-Mekongga customary community in Kolaka Regency? The objectives of this research are to: (1) know and explain the mesambakay process in Tolaki-Mekongga customary community in Kolaka Regency, (2) explain the symbolic meaning of mesambakay in the Tolaki-Mekongga customary community in Kolaka Regency. This research method uses ethnographic method with a qualitative approach as a research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written or oral explanations of people and observable behavior. The data analysis technique used in this study is in accordance with the statement expressed by Miles and Huberman (2009: 16-20) which states that data analysis activities in qualitative research consist of three stages carried out simultaneously, namely Data Reduction, Data Presentation and Conclusion. The results of this study indicate that: (1) The process of implementing the mesambakay ritual in the Tolaki-Mekongga customary community in Kolaka District shows a tradition that is continuously carried out by the people of Kolaka Regency, especially in Wundulako District. In practice, it turns out that the mesambakay ritual depicts a tradition of "asking God for prayer" for the first child (iliwua) aged 40 days to the age of 2 years to be given strength, health and a better life. (2) The symbolic meaning of mesambakay in the Tolaki-Mekongga customary community in Kolaka Regency shows the existence of human interaction, interaction with the surrounding environment and interaction with God, so that the meaning comes from several symbols of tools and materials used in mesambakay rituals such as bamboo ( kowuna), a food container (siwole), a headband (kinawo), leaves (laughter), a coconut shell (ullo), and a pair of chickens (omanu). Thus, it can be concluded that the Mesambakay Tradition in the Tolaki-Mekongga indigenous community (Ethnographic Study in Wundulako Subdistrict, Kolaka Regency) is continuously carried out and has become one of the traditions in strengthening the ties of friendship between communities in Kolaka Regency.Key words: Mesambakay tradition, Tolaki-Mekongga indigenous community

HTTP-Request Classification in Automatic Web Application Crawling

The problem of automatic requests classification, as well as the problem of determining the routing rules for the requests on the server side, is directly connected with analysis of the user interface of dynamic web pages. This problem can be solved at the browser level, since it contains complete information about possible requests arising from interaction interaction between the user and the web application. In this paper, in order to extract the classification features, using data from the request execution context in the web client is suggested. A request context or a request trace is a collection of additional identification data that can be obtained by observing the web page JavaScript code execution or the user interface elements changes as a result of the interface elements activation. Such data, for example, include the position and the style of the element that caused the client request, the JavaScript function call stack, and the changes in the page's DOM tree after the request was initialized. In this study the implementation of the Chrome Developer Tools Protocol is used to solve the problem at the browser level and to automate the request trace selection.

This paper is based on the findings out of a case study conducted to make in-depth study to determine the impact of training programme in terms of changes in the classroom practices of teachers and to study the perception of elementary school teachers about usefulness of in-service training programme in terms of teaching skills, methods of transaction, use of TLM, pupil teacher interaction, interaction among peers and students evaluation. The study was a case study and delimited to one elementary school situated in Puri district. The key informants were the teachers and students of the school. The dimensions of the study covered as teaching skills, methods of transaction, use of TLM, pupil teacher interaction, interaction among peers and students evaluation. The school was selected through purposive sampling technique. All the entire teachers of that school were the informants of the study. Students of Class VI and VII in groups of 8 to 10 were selected as the student participants in FGD. Incidental sampling technique was followed in selection of these key informants. Tools such as: interview schedule for the teachers, classroom observation schedule and guidelines for focus group discussion were used for data collection. The results revealed a significant positive effect of in-service training on the teacher and in students’ participation, conduct group work in the classroom during lesson. Teachers follow continuous and comprehensive evaluation practices such as unit test, monthly test, half yearly test and annual test. As per the pupils the teachers do not administer the weekly and surprise test in the class. The teachers ask questions only after the completion of the lesson.
