Unleashing the Potential of Large Language Models in the Finance Industry
Authors: Lee Heungmin
Published: January 2025

The rapid advancements in large language models (LLMs) have ushered in a new era of transformative potential for the finance industry. This paper explores the latest developments in the application of LLMs across key areas of the finance domain, highlighting their significant impact and future implications.In the realm of financial analysis and modelling, LLMs have demonstrated the ability to outperform traditional models in tasks such as stock price prediction, portfolio optimization, and risk assessment. By processing vast amounts of financial data and leveraging their natural language understanding capabilities, these models can generate insightful analyses, identify patterns, and provide data-driven recommendations to support decision-making processes.The conversational capabilities of LLMs have also revolutionized the customer service landscape in finance. LLMs can engage in natural language dialogues, addressing customer inquiries, providing personalized financial advice, and even handling complex tasks like loan applications and investment planning. This integration of LLMs into financial institutions has the potential to enhance customer experiences, improve response times, and reduce the workload of human customer service representatives.Furthermore, LLMs are making significant strides in the realm of risk management and compliance. These models can analyze complex legal and regulatory documents, identify potential risks, and suggest appropriate remedial actions. By automating routine compliance tasks, such as anti-money laundering (AML) checks and fraud detection, LLMs can help financial institutions enhance their risk management practices and ensure better compliance, mitigating the risk of costly penalties or reputational damage.As the finance industry continues to embrace the transformative potential of LLMs, it will be crucial to address the challenges surrounding data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the responsible development of these technologies. By navigating these considerations, the finance sector can harness the full capabilities of LLMs to drive innovation, improve efficiency, and ultimately, enhance the overall financial ecosystem.

Published: January 2025

Shortreport: School anxiety, school attendance,and school “refusal”/school distressfollowing an autism-specific parent-mediated intervention for anxiety in preschoolersAutistic children have an increased likelihood of experiencing anxiety, even in the preschool years. Whilst there have been a number ofstudies evaluating interventions to prevent or reduce this anxiety in young autistic children, these have only evaluated the impact of such interventions using parent or child self-report data. This study expands upon previous workto evaluate whethera parent-mediated intervention for autistic preschool children’s anxiety has an impact beyond the home by evaluating children’sschool anxiety and school attendance post-transition into school. Teacher-reported data on school anxiety and parent-reported data on school attendance were compared for the intervention (n= 15) and control group (n= 13) from the CLK-CUES randomised controlled trial. Children whose parents received CLK-CUES not only had lower levels of separation anxiety in school but also had significantly lower non-attendance rates than the control group, and this was specifically associated with days missed due to school refusal/school distress. This indicates promise for autism-specific anxiety programs to reduce school anxiety and supportschool attendance in young autistic children.
MODELS FOR WRITING TERM PAPERS IN BIBLICAL RESEARCH: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR STUDENTS
Authors: Ilesanmi Dele Alaba
Published: January 2025

Writing term papers in the field of biblical research requires a unique set of skills and approaches to effectively engage with the rich and complex biblical texts. It has been observed that biblical research students often find themselves faced with the daunting task of writing term papers that require a deep understanding of the subject matter and a skilful approach to presenting their findings. To navigate this challenge successfully, it is essential, therefore, to have a solid framework or model to guide biblical research students’ writing processes. To this end, the author provides a practical guide for students in this paper and establishes clear models for writing term papers. Thus, the author explores various models for writing term papers in biblical research, using Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) citation style to provide guidance for students seeking to enhance their scholarly work in this field and other related disciplines. The study adopts a simple, structured format for a biblical term paper, which consists of a cover or title page, an introduction, the body of the paper, a conclusion, and a bibliography. The author adopts applied didactic biblical research (ADBR) methodology to practically guide the students. Finally, the author suggests that the writing of a term paper or any research paper is an art that keeps changing, and to know how to write, students must engage themselves in continuous writing, bearing in mind the current term paper writing formats in their disciplines.
The Philosophical Sketch of Gravitation Origin
Authors: Golubev Konstantin M.
Published: January 2025

This article presents a philosophical view on gravitation origin, based on the ideas of independent quasi-elastic collisions of very small energy particles and relatively big particles. Aim is to show that moderate shift in philosophy from physics paradigm about “empty space with pointlike particles” could lead to significant shift in reality explanation including explanation of light velocity limit, almost instant gravitation interaction, particle-wave duality and uncertainty principle. This study proposes universal foundation for both Standard Model and Quantum Mechanics. It is interdisciplinary with attention to progress in physics, mathematics, philosophy, logic and would be interesting for all people relied on gravitation in their activities.
Network analysis of empathy, negative mood states, relationship satisfaction, sensory processing sensitivity, and alexithymia

Published: January 2025

Background: Mood disorders, like anxiety and depression, are the most prevalent mental health issues that significantly impact both individuals and society. Thus, the exploration of risk and protective factors that may influence anxiety and depression symptoms is of great importance. Studies have shown that higher emotional empathy is often linked to increased anxiety and depression, yet results are mixed. Understanding this link in more depth may be relevant for psychotherapists, as it may help them in creating effective treatment plans for anxiety and depression. Therefore, this study aims to explore the interplay between different facets of emotional empathy and anxiety/depression to understand their complex relationships better.Methods: We used data from 3382 adult participants (mean age=31.76±13.13; 66.29% Females), which were collected through an online cross-sectional survey. Participants were assessed using several scales measuring depression, anxiety, alexithymia, empathy, marital satisfaction, and sensory aspect of the sensory processing sensitivity (SPS). Network analysis was conducted to examine the direct and indirect relationships between variables. Bootstrapping was used to explore the stability of our findings.Results:On the level of total scores, empathy was positively related to higher levels of anxiety/depression, the SPS, relationship satisfaction and negatively related to alexithymia. At the item level, positive empathy item: “When someone close to me is happy, it affects me deeply (in a positive way)” was indirectly linked to lower anxiety through higher relationship satisfaction. Negative empathy items were unrelated to anxiety. No relationship was found between empathy and depression items. Bootstrapping revealed that stability of all links between empathy and anxiety/depression was acceptable. Conclusion: Our evidence suggests that deconstructing empathy to individual items may lead to more specific information about its link with anxiety/depression. This finding needs to be replicated, however. Future empathy researchers should also use longitudinal designs to examine potential causal relationships between empathy and anxiety/depression.
Beliefs about the development of mental life
Authors: Weisman Kara , King Lucy S , Humphreys Kathryn Leigh
Published: January 2025

Caregiving relationships with infants and children are among the most common and most complex human social interactions. Adults' perceptions of children's mental capacities have important consequences for the well-being of children in their care—particularly in the first few years of life, when children's communication skills are limited and caregivers must infer children's rapidly developing thoughts, feelings, and needs. In a series of studies, we assessed how US adults conceptualize the development of the human mind over the first five years of life. Exploratory factor analysis identified four core capacities that anchored participants' representations of the developing human mind: bodily sensation (e.g., hunger, pain), negative affect (e.g., distress, frustration), social connection (e.g., love, learning from others), and cognition and control (e.g., planning, self-control). Participants believed that these capacities were present to different degrees at birth, followed different developmental trajectories, and were driven by different developmental mechanisms, such as biological "preprogramming," physical maturation, passive observation, and social learning. The current studies shed light on this fascinating and understudied aspect of "mind perception" among US adults, in turn highlighting possibilities for theory-based interventions to encourage developmentally appropriate parenting behaviors.
Neutrons are forming an external skin in Nuclei and Neutron Stars
Authors: Maes Stephane
Published: January 2025

This paper provides some pointers that are relevant to a few select topics about neutrons structures, neutron stars, and relationship to QCD, in particular with respect to confinement, and stangelets. Neutron stars observations seem to confirm the apparition of deconfined quark gluon plasma at the core of neutron stars, and the presence of a superconducting layer above, so that the crust and the superconducting/superfluid region can also explain neutron stars glitches.Aspects covered in the paper are related to the multi-fold analysis of QCD and QED, including confinement, asymptotic freedom and the mass gap, for which we provided new intuitive analyses and interpretations. It confirms the ability to deconfine, à la percolation, under high density and pressure, while still hiding colors, and the existence of superconducting phases.A consequence of the short analysis is that we can support a neutron star core that is an hybrid of deconfined quarks and nuclei, plus possibly hyperons, while proposing that strangelets are likely not produced by neutron stars: a good news for the future of normal matter, that otherwise could have been infected by any minuscule strangelets contribution, spelling (locally) the end of matter as we know it, even if it is a slow process.
Is the Suez Rift 1 in its post-rift phase?
Authors: Fernández-Blanco David , de Gelder Gino , Jackson Christopher
Published: January 2025

Failed rifts are widely assumed to enter post-rift quiescence after termination of intracontinental rifting. However, this remains largely untested and a comprehensive evaluation of the rates and patterns of post-rift tectonic (in)activity is lacking. Our novel, rift-scale geomorphic analysis reveals “post-rift” rifting across the archetypal failed rift of Suez, in Egypt. Stacked topographic swaths and river profiles document pervasive normal fault offsets in Plio-Quaternary rocks along the rift length, with fluvial metrics showing steep gradients consistent with active and young faulting. Quaternary shorelines uplifted along both margins constrain normal fault footwall uplift rates of up to 0.13±0.04 mm/yr, comparable to those of the Basin and Range, USA. This evidence of active extension in the Suez Rift, occurring after its presumed Pliocene failure, should motivate reevaluation of the tectonic activity in other “failed” rifts and of conceptual models of continental rift evolution
Mapping the functional connectome of specific phobia and its treatment using MultiVariate Pattern Analysis (fc-MVPA)
Authors: Muehlhan Markus , Schäfer Judith , Hilbert Kevin , Seidl Esther , Beesdo-Baum Katja
Published: January 2025

Specific phobia (SP) is a prevalent mental disorder. Exposure-based treatments are the most effective therapy. Surprisingly, little is known about the intrinsic functional connectivity of SP and its modification by treatment, possibly due to a strong focus on a presumed fear network. Hypothesis-driven a priori selection of brain regions does not allow the full extent of potential changes in SP and the modulating effects of therapy to be captured. Therefore, we use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in combination with hypothesis-free, data-driven functional connectivity multivariate pattern analysis (fc-MVPA), which takes into account the entire functional connectome, to identify differences between N=72 individuals with SP and a non-phobic control group (CG, N=82). The SP group then received a one-session exposure treatment and was scanned again after 16 weeks.Fc-MVPA showed the largest differences between SP and CG in somatomotor regions with higher connectivity to temporal nodes of the default network and anti-correlations to the frontoparietal network. Stronger connectivity values in the pre- compared to the post-treatment condition was evident in visual regions. while anti-correlations to the frontoparietal network were reduced. Post-hoc comparisons showed that the connectivity patterns of the SP after treatment between almost all identified nodes of both contrasts ('SP vs. CG' and 'pre vs. post') were comparable to those of the control group. Given the known functions of the identified networks, the results suggest that exposure treatment may improve the control of perceptual and action regions, leading to better environmental prediction of mentally constructed scenes and improved action control.
Counterfactual Models, Counterintuitive Outcomes: Social and Prosocial Factors Mediate Improved Functioning after Acute Adversity
Authors: Mancini Anthony D , Chapman Cherylle , Fardella Giovanni , Mohammed Asha Kadir , Maewsky Nicole , Model Zachary , Roizer Rachael
Published: January 2025

Although several studies have suggested acute adversity can stimulate improved functioning, very few have used prospective designs, counterfactual models, and instrumental variables to establish potential causal links. Using a theoretical framework of psychosocial gains from adversity, two natural experiments, and causal inference techniques, we investigated the impact of acute adversity on adaptive functioning and its mediation through social and prosocial factors. Study 1 (n = 250 bereaved spouses; n = 83 married controls) used a prospective investigation of late life bereavement with pre- and post-loss assessments to examine these questions. At 6-months post-loss, bereaved participants, compared to married controls, reported increased ordinary social interaction, improved instrumental support, reduced hassles with friends and relatives, and an increase in formal social meetings. Average causal mediational analyses found that increased ordinary social interactions and perceptions of support mediated a reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms, relative to pre-loss levels. Study 2 used a similar prospective natural experiment but of severe hurricane exposure (n = 1182 flooded participants; n = 3162 non-flooded controls). An instrumental variable analysis revealed that flood had causal effects on increased social support and prosocial volunteering. As with bereavement, average causal mediation analyses supported a favorable effect of flood on increased life satisfaction and health perceptions through social support and prosocial volunteering. Consistent with evolutionary accounts of reciprocal altruism, these effects were stronger when social cohesion was perceived as higher. Findings support a more expansive account of the effects of acute adversity that includes positive effects through adaptive social and prosocial processes.

प्रस्तुत अनुसन्धानात्मक लेखमा कथाकार पारिजातको नैकापे सर्किनी कथालाई विश्लेष्य पाठको रूपमा लिई त्यसमा सङ्कथन अध्ययनका दृष्टिले केकस्ता सन्देशहरू छन् र ती कसरी व्यवस्थित रहेका छन् भन्ने कुरो मुख्य समस्याको रूपमा लिइएको छ । नैकापे सर्किनी कथामा रहेका सन्देशहरूको विश्लेषणबाट कथाको मुख्य सन्देश कसरी प्रकट भएको छ भन्ने कुराको खोजी गर्नु नै यस अध्ययनको मुख्य उद्देश्य रहेको छ । उक्त उद्देश्यलाई परिपूर्ति गर्नका खातिर यहाँ ह्यालिडे, क्लाउथड र म्याकार्थी लगायतका विद्वान्हरूको थिम र रिमसम्बन्धी सिद्धान्तहरूको उपयोग गरिएको छ । पूर्वज्ञात सूचना र नयाँ सूचनाहरूको निश्चित शृङ्खलाबाट कृतिमा सन्देश व्यवस्था शृङखलित हुन्छ र यस्ता सूचनाहरूलाई व्यक्ति, वस्तु, स्थान र कालका माध्यमबाट पाठमा व्यक्त गरिएको हुन्छ । यस कुरालाई नैकापे सर्किनी कथामा नैकापे सर्किनीको जीवन, उसले भोगिरहेको काल, स्थान र परिस्थितिका माध्यमबाट आपूmभित्र विकसित हुँदै गरेको समाज परिवर्तनको आग्रहलाई कथाकारद्वारा कलात्मक स्वरूपमा पाठकहरूसामु राखिएको निष्कर्ष निकालिएको छ ।
Czasownik leksykalny, łącznikowy, posiłkowy – badanie korpusowe statusu składniowego czasownika blîven (‘(po)zostać’) w tekstach średnio-dolno-niemieckich
Authors: Woźnicka Marta
Published: January 2025

W ramach tekstu przedstawiono wyniki analizy składniowo-semantycznej średnio-dolno-niemieckiego czasownika blîven, który został zapożyczony do języków nordyckich i którego semantyka oraz status składniowy zarówno w języku wyjściowym, jak i w językach docelowych są sporne. Badanie obejmuje szerszy niż dotychczas materiał językowy z okresu między XIII a XV w., a stanowią go teksty dostępne w ramach anotowanego korpusu Referenzkorpus Mittelniederdeutsch/Niederrheinisch (ReN) i teksty korpusu Diachrony of passive voice in North Germanic (DiaPass). Zawężenie czasowe badanych tekstów pozwoliło stwierdzić, że rozwoju peryfrastycznej strony biernej w języku szwedzkim z bli(va) nie można przypisać wpływom dolnoniemieckim. Tenże wniosek potwierdza sporadyczne użycie blîven w połączeniu z imiesłowem biernym w materiale dolnoniemieckim z równoczesnym wzrostem ogólnej częstotliwości występowania tej konstrukcji w języku szwedzkim w XV w. Wykorzystanie obu korpusów pozwoliło wykluczyć różnice w użyciu czasownika blîven między tekstami dolnoniemieckimi spisanymi na obszarze dolnoniemieckim (ReN) a tekstami dolnoniemieckimi z obszaru skandynawskiego (DiaPass).

Obszerna i polemiczna recenzja dotyczy dwóch książek poświęconych głównemu kościołowi parafialnemu Starego Miasta w Pradze. Jedną z ich cech jest bohemocentryzm. Wyraża się on w postrzeganiu tej świątyni i jej wyposażenia niemal wyłącznie w kontekście zjawisk politycznych oraz artystycznych zachodzących w Królestwie Czeskim, a nie w kontekście całej Korony Królestwa Czech. Jest to o tyle rażące, że budowla ta żywo uczestniczyła w życiu politycznym stolicy państwa i jako taka wchodziła w koincydencję ze zjawiskami zachodzącymi w drugim największym mieście Korony Czeskiej – we Wrocławiu. Naukowości obu opracowań nie służy też napiętnowany w recenzji osobliwy patriotyczny ton, rodem z publikacji dziewiętnastowiecznych i dwudziestowiecznych, obecnie anachroniczny, a na pewno – całkowicie zbyteczny.
Systemy sfragistyczne biskupów wrocławskich Piotra II Nowaka i Jodoka z Rożemberka
Authors: Sobel Jagna Rita
Published: January 2025

W artykule podjęto problem systemów sfragistycznych dwóch biskupów wrocławskich z XV stulecia: Piotra II Nowaka (1447–1456) i Jodoka z Rożemberka (1456–1467). Analizie poddane zostały pieczęcie, którymi uwierzytelniali oni wystawiane przez siebie dokumenty zarówno przed wyborem na stolicę biskupią, jak i po objęciu rządów w diecezji. Celem przeprowadzonej kwerendy, obejmującej blisko 350 jednostek archiwalnych, była pełna inwentaryzacja wszystkich dyplomów opieczętowanych przez wspomnianych hierarchów. Wykazała ona, że Piotr Nowak posługiwał się w czasie swojej aktywności pięcioma typami pieczęci (osobistą, oficjalatu, administracyjną biskupstwa oraz mniejszą i większą biskupią), natomiast Jodok z Rożemberka – siedmioma (zakonną, osobistą, dwoma typami biskupiej pieczęci mniejszej, większą pieczęcią biskupią, pieczęcią ad causas oraz wikariatu in spiritualibus). Zaprezentowane badania koncentrowały się zarówno na aspektach materialnych wykonanych wymienionymi stemplami odcisków, takich jak barwa materiału pieczętnego czy sposób połączenia z dokumentem, co pozwoliło ustalić zwyczaje sigillacyjne panujące w kancelariach obu biskupów, jak i na „czasie życia” tych tłoków, a więc ich funkcjonowaniu, w tym użytkowaniu przez kolejnych właścicieli.
Rozpoznanie archeologiczno-architektoniczne pomieszczenia tzw. kaplicy przejściowej pod wieżą w klasztorze ss. Norbertanek w Imbramowicach

Published: January 2025

Kompleks klasztorny ss. Norbertanek w Imbramowicach pozostaje dotychczas obiektem słabo rozpoznanym, zarówno pod względem architektonicznym, jak i archeologicznym. Okazją do pogłębienia wiedzy o przemianach architektonicznych kościoła i klasztoru stały się prace związane z poszerzeniem krypty grzebalnej sióstr. W ich wyniku zarejestrowano nieznane dotąd pozostałości trzynastowiecznego pomieszczenia, stanowiącego pierwotnie przyziemie wieży (lub wież) mieszczącej emporę. W obrębie pomieszczenia odsłonięto także pozostałości piętnasto-/szesnastowiecznego pieca grzewczego oraz zarejestrowano pozostałości osadnictwa wczesnośredniowiecznego i pradziejowego.
Comparison of the fatty acid composition of pecan and walnuts from various regions and the development of a rapid analytical method
Authors: Alkan Şenay Burçin , Öksüz Abdullah
Published: January 2025

The study determined the fatty acid profiles of pecan and walnut samples from various regions of Türkiye and proposed a rapid method for profiling fatty acids. Twenty walnut samples (Ahırlı, İncesu-Seydişehir and Derbent-Konya, Yenişarbademli and Yalvaç-Isparta, Burdur, Göksun and Çağlayancerit-Kahramanmaraş, Ezine-Çanakkale, Belen-Hatay, Denizli, Mut-Mersin, Ermenek-Karaman and Osmaniye) and one pecan sample (Narlıca-Hatay) were analysed. Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were prepared using direct methylation of 0.1-gram samples, and compositions were determined via gas chromatography. The study compared direct methylation to other extraction methods (ASE and Bligh & Dyer) using the “Maraş-18” cultivar. Results showed that linoleic acid levels in walnuts ranged from 48.5 to 64.1%, with an average of 57.16%. Oleic acid content ranged from 13.6 to 33.4%, with a mean of 20.5%. Alpha-linolenic acid varied between 7.6 and 17.1%, with the highest levels in the “Native” cultivar from Yenişarbademli. The pecan sample had high oleic acid (59.6%) but low α-linolenic acid (1.14%). While the “Maraş-18” cultivar showed consistent fatty acid profiles across methods, minor statistical differences in individual fatty acid percentages were observed. Due to its speed, efficiency, and alignment with green chemistry, the direct methylation method may be recommended for fatty acid analysis in walnut kernels.
Development and validation of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the detection of zearalenone and its metabolites in cereal-based infant formulas

Food safety is a high priority for human health. Chemical substances contaminated at different stages can cause acute and chronic health problems. Infants are one of the essential risk groups. Studies on endocrine disruptors are particularly important as these substances have many undesirable consequences for future generations, notably their impact on the reproductive system. Zearalenone (ZON), produced by Fusarium fungi, is an endocrine-disrupting mycotoxin with an estrogenic effect. Many species of fungi are localised on agricultural products such as corn, rice, and wheat. Feeding infants in the early stages of life with plant-based formula may lead to harmful effects of mycotoxins. We aimed to investigate whether commercially available cereal-based infant formulas are contaminated with ZON. Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to determine ZON and metabolites. The method was developed by optimisation studies in sample preparation. The process was accurate, selective, reproducible, and highly sensitive at concentrations below the maximum residue level. ZON was validated using two different working ranges (for 1st working range: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30 ng/g; r2 are 0.993, 0.995; 1.08 ng/g, LODs are 1.08, 1.01 and 1.2 ng/g; LOQs are 3.25, 3.01 and 3.62 ng/g, and 2nd working ranges: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ng/g; r2 are 0.996, 0.994, and 0.996; LODs are 0.20, 0.200 ng/g, 0.06 g/ng; LOQs are 0.18, 0.60 ng/g and 0.60 g/ng for ZON, α-ZOL and β-ZOL, respectively). Cereal-based infant formulas sold retail in the market were not contaminated with ZON and its metabolites. Infants consuming these products are not at risk from cereal-based formulas.
Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii as next generation probiotic: Implications for health
Authors: Özışık Damla , Akın Nihat
Published: January 2025

In the last decade, research in the field of probiotic microbiology has advanced significantly. Studies on the selection, characterization and validation of health claims of probiotic cultures have made significant progress, and molecular-genetic research has helped us understand the mechanistic basis of the beneficial effects of probiotics. These developments have been an important step forward in understanding the positive effects of probiotics on human health. Probiotic foods are usually found in fermented dairy products and contain microorganisms that are beneficial for health. However, while their use in other food types has increased, the use of probiotics is not yet widespread in composite foods. More research is needed to better understand and optimize the health benefits of probiotic composite foods, with an emphasis on issues such as stability, efficacy and digestibility of the probiotic ingredient. In this review, we specifically focus on two emerging new generations of probiotic bacteria, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Akkermansia muciniphila, as their presence in the digestive tract may have an impact on cancer incidence. The properties of these new generation probiotics, such as enhancing gastrointestinal immunity, maintaining intestinal barrier integrity, producing beneficial metabolites and enhancing immunotherapy efficacy, were examined. In addition, safety and efficacy studies on the use of new generation probiotics in cancer patients were evaluated.

Published: January 2025

There is a continuous rise in the incidence of foodborne infections caused by Campylobacter spp., the main causative agent of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Campylobacteriosis, Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the most frequently encountered species and pose serious health threats due to their resistance to antimicrobials. Assurance of microbial safety of poultry and cattle, the most important reservoirs of Campylobacter spp., meat and meat products, milk and dairy obtained from these animals, and detection and/or concentration determination of the pathogen both in the farm and in food ready for consumption, mandates required regulatory updates in current legislations. By taking the zoonotic potential of the agent into consideration, in this review article, aetiology, growth and pathogenicity traits; epidemiology and prevalence; pathogenesis and symptoms of the infection; sampling, isolation/enumeration, identification and rapid methods for the detection of the pathogen; treatment of disease and antimicrobial resistance information; and prevention and control requirements and regulatory approach strategies were presented based on data from current literature.
