Abstract

General Background: Lease accounting plays a critical role in financial reporting by ensuring transparency in a company’s asset usage and obligations. Specific Background: The shift from International Accounting Standard (IAS) 17 to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 16 represents a major development in the recognition and presentation of lease transactions. Knowledge Gap: Despite the adoption of IFRS 16, several academic and practical sources have failed to comprehensively address its implications and how it differs from the previous standard. Aims: This article aims to analyze the key features of IFRS 16, compare them with IAS 17, and evaluate their impact on financial statements. Results: The study reveals that IFRS 16 introduces a unified accounting model for lessees, requiring recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, thereby significantly affecting financial position and performance metrics. Novelty: Unlike prior literature that either overlooks or addresses lease accounting from a narrow national perspective, this article presents a comprehensive comparison grounded in international standards, supported by expert insights and real-world implications. Implications: The findings underscore the need for enterprises to adapt their accounting systems and internal processes to ensure compliance and maintain transparency, highlighting the importance of aligning national standards with IFRS to enhance global comparability in financial reporting. Highlights: IFRS 16 requires lease liabilities and right-of-use asset recognition. Enhances financial transparency and reporting consistency. Replaces IAS 17’s off-balance-sheet lease approach. Keywords: IFRS 16, lease accounting, financial reporting, right-of-use asset, IAS 17

Abstract

General Background: Alpha decay is a dominant decay mode in superheavy elements (SHEs), offering critical insights into nuclear structure and stability. Specific Background: Elements with atomic numbers Z = 114–118 exhibit significant nuclear deformation, affecting their decay characteristics. Knowledge Gap: Existing models often assume spherical symmetry, leading to inaccurate half-life predictions due to neglecting deformation effects. Aims: This study quantifies the influence of nuclear deformation on alpha decay properties in SHEs, refining theoretical models for more accurate predictions. Results: By integrating deformation-dependent Woods-Saxon potentials and modifying the Geiger-Nuttall law within a WKB framework, the study achieved a 21.1% mean absolute error—improving prediction accuracy. Strong inverse correlations between quadrupole deformation (β₂) and half-life were observed; for example, Oganesson-294 (β₂ = 0.24) showed a 50% shorter half-life than spherical-based predictions. Novelty: The study combines deformation parameters (β₂, β₄), FRDM and WS4 models, and experimental validation from leading SHE laboratories, demonstrating the essential role of nuclear shape in decay behavior. Implications: These findings support the "island of stability" hypothesis near Z = 114–116 and underscore the necessity for deformation-inclusive models and advanced density-functional theory to enhance the understanding and synthesis of future SHEs. Highlights: Deformation lowers Coulomb barrier, increasing alpha decay probability. Modified models improve half-life prediction accuracy. Supports stability near Z = 114, N = 1 Keywords: Alpha decay, superheavy elements, nuclear deformation, half-life prediction, island of stability

Abstract

General Background: Employee performance in higher education institutions is a critical determinant of administrative effectiveness and institutional success. Specific Background: However, the complex interplay between work climate, employee competence, work experience, and performance remains underexplored, particularly among non-academic staff. Knowledge Gap: Existing literature rarely integrates these variables within a single analytical framework, especially in the Indonesian higher education context. Aims: This study aims to examine the causal relationships among work climate, employee competence, work experience, and employee performance among administrative staff at Universitas Pattimura Ambon (UNPATTI) using a mixed-methods approach. Results: Findings indicate that work experience significantly influences both competence (path coefficient = 0.704) and work climate (0.652), but has a negligible direct effect on performance (–0.015). Competence emerges as the strongest predictor of performance (0.819), while work climate exerts only a minor direct effect (0.026). Novelty: The integration of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with qualitative insights provides a comprehensive understanding of mediating effects, revealing competence as a pivotal mechanism linking experience and climate to performance. Implications: These results inform strategic human resource management practices in higher education, emphasizing targeted professional development, mentorship, and the cultivation of a supportive work climate to enhance staff performance and institutional sustainability. Highlights: Work climate and competence affect performance in higher education administration. Mixed-methods with SEM show competence mediates experience's impact on performance.

Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW), defined as less than 2,500 grams, remains a significant public health concern globally, with multiple maternal factors influencing neonatal outcomes. Specific Background: Although LBW neonates can survive and thrive, inadequate maternal knowledge about its risk factors can contribute to preventable cases. Knowledge Gap: Limited studies in Iraq assess maternal awareness regarding LBW causes, especially in the context of sociodemographic variables. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate mothers’ knowledge of LBW risk factors during pregnancy at the Maternal and Pediatric Hospital in Diwaniyah, Iraq. Results: Among 64 mothers aged 18–45, most demonstrated fair knowledge (mean = 1.92) regarding LBW risk factors. Notably, 40.6% exhibited good knowledge on daily activities, but 35.9% had low awareness of medication-related risks. Age showed a significant correlation with knowledge (p = 0.011), while academic achievement and economic status did not. Novelty: This study uniquely identifies age—not education or income—as a significant determinant of maternal knowledge on LBW, challenging traditional assumptions about health literacy. Implications: Findings underscore the need for targeted, age-sensitive educational interventions to improve maternal awareness and reduce LBW incidence, regardless of socioeconomic status or educational background. Highlighhts: Low birth weight linked to maternal knowledge gaps. Assess mothers’ awareness of LBW risk factors. Most mothers had fair knowledge; age influenced awareness. Keywords: Assessment, Mothers, Knowledge, Risk Factors, Pregnancy, Low Birth Weight

Abstract

Background: Anemia remains a critical global public health issue, significantly contributing to maternal morbidity and mortality, particularly in low-resource settings. Specific Background: In Iraq, the burden of anemia among pregnant women remains underexplored, with limited data on hematological profiles across trimesters. Knowledge Gap: Despite existing literature on anemia in pregnancy, there is a paucity of localized studies assessing its prevalence, severity, and potential causes beyond iron deficiency. Aim: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of anemia among pregnant women attending Al-Alawiya Maternity Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, and to evaluate associated hematological parameters. Results: A cross-sectional analysis of 110 pregnant and 50 non-pregnant women revealed a statistically significant decrease in hemoglobin and packed cell volume (PCV) among pregnant participants, particularly during the second and third trimesters and within the 26–40-year age group. Ferritin levels remained within normal limits across all groups. Novelty: The study highlights a modest prevalence of anemia not directly linked to iron deficiency, suggesting alternative etiologies such as micronutrient deficiencies or physiological changes during pregnancy. Implications: Routine monitoring of hematological parameters is essential, and further investigation is needed to identify non-iron-related causes of anemia in pregnancy to guide more effective interventions. Highlights: Hemoglobin drops in 2nd and 3rd pregnancy trimesters. Anemia most common in women aged 26–40. Ferritin normal—non-iron deficiency anemia suspected. Keywords: Anemia, Pregnancy, Hemoglobin, Ferritin, Iraq

Abstract

Background: Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) are common, blood-sucking ectoparasites that infest the human scalp, with significant public health relevance, particularly among school-aged children. Specific Background: These wingless insects, belonging to the order Phthiraptera, are highly transmissible in dense environments such as schools. Knowledge Gap: Despite global awareness, there is limited region-specific data on infestation prevalence and contributing factors in northern Iraq, particularly in Kirkuk City. Aim: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of pediculosis and identify associated sociodemographic and behavioral risk factors among schoolchildren in Kirkuk. Results: Visual inspections of 300 pupils from five schools revealed an overall infestation rate of 10.3%, with higher prevalence among females (13%) compared to males (4.44%). Children aged 6–12 and those in lower educational levels exhibited significantly higher infestation rates. Behaviors such as sharing combs and clothing were also associated. Novelty: This is the first extended surveillance-based study in Kirkuk that combined clinical inspection with behavioral questionnaires over a full year. Implications: Findings underscore the need for enhanced school-based health education, early detection, and hygiene practices to mitigate the spread of pediculosis. Regional strategies should incorporate community involvement and consistent provision of preventive treatments. Highlights: High-risk group: Females and children aged 6–12 most affected. Transmission factors: Sharing combs, clothes, and beds increases risk. Prevention focus: Health education and treatment programs are essential.
