Authors: Rahman Osmud , Chen Xiaopeng , Au Raymond
Published: December 2022

  

The purpose of this study is to investigate how age, gender, information sources and parent-child communication may influence Chinese pre-teen (9–12 years old) and teenage (13–18 years old) shopping behaviour. A quantitative research method and a self-administered questionnaire was employed to measure the significance of clothing evaluative cues, parent-child communication and shopping behaviour of pre-teens and teens in the People’s Republic of China. In total, 273 usable data were collected for this study. It is evident that peer influence was considered by respondents as an important information source, followed by store displays. Parent–child communication also played an important role on clothing consumption. In order to meet the needs and aspirations of these young consumers, fashion designers should pay attention to material selection and usage. In addition, fashion retailers should focus on the visual and experiential aspects of the store environment in order to build a stronger connection and resonance with these young consumer groups.

Authors: Rahman Osmud , Chu Alice
Published: December 2022

Increasingly, many fashion companies and organizations have introduced slogans such as ‘green is the new black’ and ‘get hip, get green’ to raise ‘green’ awareness as well as to build corporate image. This study was designed to explore industry opinion on what colour(s) is/are more likely associated with the notion of ‘green.’ In order to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between colour and environmental issues, a self-administered questionnaire survey was used to collect data from various professionals. According to the present study, it is evident that certain colours are viewed to be more eco-friendly than others. The findings of this study provide insight and implications for fashion practitioners, educators and consumers on the concept of eco-friendly in general and colour attribute in particular.
Cosplay: Imaginative self and performing identity
Authors: Rahman Osmud , Liu Wing-sun , Cheung Brittany Hei-man
Published: December 2022

This study examines the emerging cosplay subculture in Hong Kong. A quasi-ethnographic approach including participation, observation, photography, and in-depth interviews was employed to understand the underlying motives and experiences of those engaged in cosplay activities. Authenticity, affective attachment, the extended self, and the negotiation of boundaries are also discussed in this article. From this study, it is evident that cosplay can give participants pleasurable experiences, meaningful memories, self-gratification, and personal fulfillment. Through this participatory activity, cosplayers can momentarily escape from reality and enter into their imaginative world. It is a form of role/identity-transformation from an “ordinary person” to a “super hero,” from a “game player” to a “performer,” and from “adulthood” to “childhood.”
Lolita: Imaginative self and elusive consumption
Authors: Rahman Osmud , Liu Wing-sun , Lam Elita , Chan Mong-tai
Published: December 2022

Although the term “Lolita” originates from Vladimir Nabakov’s novel Lolita (1955), the current Lolita subculture has no direct reference to this novel or with any sexual connotation. It is more about personal expression and manifestation. It is a form of escapism—a way of taking flight from adolescence or adulthood and returning to childhood. By wearing a childlike Lolita style in a fantasy setting, the wearer may enter into an imaginary world and momentarily remove her/himself from everyday reality. Lolita subculturists “wear more than one hat in life” and their lives are filled with performance, imagination, illusions, and even confusion. In order to understand this fluid, contingent, and contradictory identity, a research project was initiated to investigate the significance of this subculture in Hong Kong, with an emphasis on Lolita behaviors and attitudes in particular. In-depth interviews, virtual ethnography and daily observations were employed to uncover the underlying motives of those engaged in the Lolita subculture. According to this study, it is evident that today’s young consumers are constantly searching for and constructing a personal and social identity through symbolic consumption. A Lolita style enables young people to achieve an image for which they would not be accepted in everyday life. In short, Lolita consumption is a great source of pleasure, exhilaration, and delight for many Lolita subculturists in Hong Kong.
Evaluative criteria for sleepwear: A study of privately consumed product in the People’s Republic of China
Authors: Rahman Osmud , Jiang Yan , Liu Wing-sun
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study is to explore and investigate Chinese male consumers’ perceptions and behaviours towards low involvement and privately consumed product – pyjamas. According to our literature review, little research has been devoted to this particular topic. In this study, multiple product cues were used to measure and uncover what constitute consumers’ evaluation and purchase decisions. The questionnaire survey for this study was conducted in a second-tier city by using the convenience sampling method. In total, 256 useable questionnaires were collected and analysed. This study shows evidence that a majority of the Chinese male respondents did not wear pyjamas for sleeping. The intrinsic cues of sleepwear were ranked relatively higher than extrinsic cues, and the comfort cue was the most important criterion for product evaluation. Further research on this topic focusing on different products, samples and cities are recommended. The findings of this study provide insight and implications for fashion practitioners to develop their product and business in China.

Authors: Rahman Osmud , Zhu Ziuli , Liu Wing-sun
Published: December 2022

This study aims to explore and understand consumers’ perceptions and behaviour towards pyjamas in the People’s Republic of China (China). This study is one of the few consumer research studies on a low-involvement and privately consumed apparel product – pyjamas. The findings of this study provide insight and implications for fashion practitioners to develop their product and business in China. A quantitative analysis and comparative methods were used for this study. From a large body of literature, seven product attributes were identified and used to measure and evaluate what constitutes consumers’ purchasing decision for pyjamas. A total of 203 usable surveys were compiled, analyzed and collated. This study shows evidence that consumers are more conscious of the functional values of a low-involvement product than the symbolic values. The results of this survey indicate that comfort, fabric and quality are significant attributes, whereas country-of-origin and brand are relatively insignificant determinants for purchasing a pair of pyjamas. Limitations of this study include the use of a convenience sample of female college students and confinement to a specific product – pyjamas. The results of this study are useful for fashion designers and marketers to understand Chinese consumers’ perceptions of pyjamas.
Public Opinion About the Benefit, Risk, and Acceptance of Aerial Manipulation Systems
Authors: Li Jamy , Janabi-Sharifi Farrokh
Published: December 2022

Aerial manipulation systems are an emerging subclass of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or “drones”) that use a mobile arm to manipulate their environment. Public opinion is an important consideration for drones, but past public opinion polls have focused on drones without attached arms and have relied on text-based surveys. Study 1 (N = 190) assessed participants’ perceived benefit, risk, and acceptance of aerial manipulation systems across five applications, using an animation-based online public opinion survey. Study 2 (N = 194) assessed the influence of stimulus sampling on public opinion of aerial manipulation systems by replicating Study 1 using an alternative set of animations. Study 3 (N = 396) assessed the influence of using animations versus a text control on perceptions of the poll and aerial manipulation systems, as well as the influence of survey platform (YouGov Direct versus Mechanical Turk). Results show that delivery applications are perceived as more beneficial than several other applications; that people’s opinions and imagining of drones were different if they watched animations versus read text; and that stimulus and population sampling influence the results of public opinion polls about drones.

Authors: Ziegler Erin , Kim Sophia , Bar Rachel J.
Published: December 2022

Aim: To outline the successful development and implementation of a nurse practitioner role within a professional ballet school.  

Background: Nurse practitioners are well integrated into primary and acute care in Ontario, yet the role within schools and private athletic institutions is not well documented. Canada’s National Ballet School is a professional ballet school with a combination of day students and those living in residences. Students complete both dance training and academics at the School. The physical and mental health of students was identified as a key priority by the school, leading to the development of an integrated health and wellness program. To facilitate more timely access to healthcare and provide an opportunity for collaboration and consultation within the school, a plan to implement a nurse practitioner role into the school was developed. 

Methods: In order to develop and implement the role of the nurse practitioner within the institution, the participatory, evidence-based, patient-focused process for advanced practice nursing role development, implementation, and evaluation (PEPPA) framework was used. The first seven steps of the PEPPA framework were applied in this project.  

Findings: The PEPPA framework allowed for us to identify key barriers and facilitators for the role implementation and successfully implement the nurse practitioner role. While the initial plan was for a slower implementation, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for a nurse practitioner in the institution more urgently.  

Conclusion: The PEPPA framework provided us with an organized process for developing and implementing the nurse practitioner role at Canada’s National Ballet School.

Authors: Ziegler Erin , Kalvoda Sarah , Ancrum-Lee Elyse , Charnish Erin
Published: December 2022

Aim: To explore the experiences of nurse practitioner students moving from expert registered nurses to novice nurse practitioner program students.  

Background: Moving from registered nurse to nurse practitioner can be a time filled with mixed emotions, lack of confidence, adaptation, and competency development. Learning about and navigating the advanced practice nursing role can be challenging. Students in the nurse practitioner program are encouraged to engage in regular reflective writing to foster role development and learning.  This paper aims to reflectively explore the experiences of transition from registered nurse to nurse practitioner student.  

Methods: Inspired by Benner’s Novice to Expert Theory and Carper’s ways of knowing, the authors personally reflected on their transition experiences during NP schooling and then collectively developed a composite reflection of the shared experience.  From this exercise common themes were identified.  

Conclusion: This unique reflective paper identified common themes in the experience of transitioning to the student role. Potential areas for future research-based exploration of the nurse practitioner student experience were identified. By understanding these experiences, students can be better prepared in advance and faculty can design both formal and informal support measures to better support the student experience. 
Body Image Disturbance in Female Adolescents Using Online Learning Platforms: A Concept Analysis
Authors: Lee Sauyoung , Ziegler Erin
Published: December 2022

Aim 

To analyze the concept of body image disturbance in female adolescents using online learning platforms as a phenomenon of interest to nurse practitioners and other health care practitioners. 

Background 

With the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of online learning platforms as a primary mode of learning has increased exponentially among adolescents. While research is still lacking in this field, the literature on traditional social media suggests that these online learning platforms may negatively influence body image and emotional outcomes. Particularly vulnerable to these outcomes are female adolescents, whose construction of own body image is highly influenced by their self-perceived evaluation from their peers. While the concept of body image disturbance is well defined in adolescent eating disorders, it has not been characterized in the context of online learning platforms. Defining the concept of body image disturbance in this context is crucial for recognizing its occurrence and providing early intervention.  

Methods 

The Walker and Avant method of concept analysis was used to analyze the concept.  

Findings 

The defining attributes of body image disturbance among female adolescents using online learning platforms are: (1) Feeling displeasure with the perceived appearance while using video streamed platforms; (2) Self-surveillance of one’s appearance; and (3) Upward comparison of one’s appearance with others and experiencing feelings of inadequacy.  

Conclusion 

As COVID-19 continues to disrupt the traditional school experience, nurse practitioners can use the presented scenarios, along with examples of questionnaires noted in this study, to recognize and delineate the occurrence of body image disturbance in female adolescents using online learning platforms. A development of a standardized definition of the concept will enable nurse practitioners to recognize its occurrence and to provide interventions in a timely manner.

Published: December 2022

Population growth and economic development in Indonesia affect the increase in the volume of vehicles. In the era of the pandemic, Indonesia's population growth has increased, so the need for vehicles also increases. The increase in the volume of vehicles, causes congestion in various areas. The WFH (Work From Home) policy, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, has reduced the use of vehicles in traffic. Two years after the pandemic, in 2022, the volume of vehicles in traffic will be higher due to activities that have started to return to normal. The abolition of the WFH (Work From Home) policy has resulted in school offices, tourist attractions, and other infrastructure making the activities of the Indonesian people and economy rise slowly. Although the economy in Indonesia has not increased significantly or can be called unstable, the purchasing power of motorized vehicles has increased. From the results of the research carried out above, it is known that the capacity of Darmo road and Pemuda road has increased the DS value (degree of saturation) in the post-pandemic period compared to the pandemic conditions during the PSBB period. The increasing community activities caused the increased DS value (degree of saturation). This resulted in traffic on Jalan Darmo, Pemuda, and Ahmad Yani becoming more congested than during the pandemic.

Polityka Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej wobec uchodźców z Grecji
Authors: Sienkiewicz Izabela
Published: December 2022

Wojna domowa w Grecji tocząca się w latach 1946-1949 podzieliła społeczeństwo na sojuszników monarchii i zwolenników kierowanego przez Komunistyczną Partię Grecji Tymczasowego Rządu Demokratycznego Wolnej Grecji. Zbrojnym ramieniem lewicowego ośrodka była Demokratyczna Armia Grecji. Do pewnego czasu siłom komunistycznym aktywnego wsparcia udzielały państwa bloku wschodniego: Albania, Bułgaria, Jugosławia, Czechosłowacja i Rumunia. Jednak nasilający się od 1948 r. konflikt na linii Stalin-Tito przyczynił się do klęski Demokratycznej Armii Grecji, wywołanej przygniatającą przewagą militarną sił monarchistycznych. W połowie 1949 r. podjęto decyzję o ewakuacji do Albanii oddziałów partyzanckich oraz pozostającej do tej pory pod ich kontrolą ludności cywilnej. Także Polska - kraj, który ogromnie ucierpiał w wyniku II wojny światowej - pomagała Grecji, najpierw dostarczając żywność, sprzęt wojskowy i medyczny, później przyjmując na swoje tereny ponad 13 tys. dzieci i dorosłych, bojowników i cywili z terenów objętych wojną, wszystkich bardzo zmęczonych wojną i tułaczką. Grupie migrantów zapewniono opiekę medyczną, socjalną, pracę, edukację, dostęp do kultury. Wędrówki ludności w poszukiwaniu schronienia przed konfliktami, prześladowaniami oraz ubóstwem nie są tylko współczesnym problemem Unii Europejskiej. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono reformy, jakie zainicjował rząd Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej pod wpływem eskalacji kryzysu na Bałkanach. Uchodźcy z Grecji zastali w Polsce zupełnie nowe dla nich warunki bytowe, cywilizacyjne, kulturalne, geograficzne i gospodarcze. Stopniowo udało im się w tym obcym kraju zaaklimatyzować. Dziś wielu z nich jest Polsce wdzięcznych za okazaną pomoc.

At around 7–10 days post operatively leakage of clear sero-sanguinous fluid from the wound is usually the first indicator of burst abdomen. The patient usually feels something ‘giving away’ at this time.It may occur in 3-14.5% cases and is very distressing to the patient.Number of methods of closure of midline laparotomy wound have been introduced in the past to prevent this outcome. The study to compare the result of continuous and interrupted closure of midline emergency laparotomy in respect of burst abdomen.

Materials and methods: This randomized controlled trial study was carried out in the Department of Surgery Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Chattogram, duration January 2017 to December 2017. A total of 500 patients were enrolled in this study. Data were collected, statistical analyses were obtained by using window based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-23).

Results: 250 patients in group A and 250 in B. Surgical wound related post-operative complications were found in 30.4% of the study subjects (n=152).Wound dehiscence was found in 11% subjects, surgical site infection was found in 18.4% subjects and incisional hernia in 1%.All these complications were significantly higher in continuous suture group than interrupted group (p<0.001).Wound dehiscence in 20 subjects, treated with interrupted sutures and in 40 subjects (35 wound dehiscence and 5 incisional hernia)treated with continuous suture. The Relative Risk (RR) of developing wound dehiscence post-operatively was found to be 0.63 (95% CI 0.33 – 0.72) for interrupted suture. This was statistically significant (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The interrupted X suture technique is better than continuous suture technique in prevention of burst abdomen in emergency midline laparotomy.

Методи адаптивного управління розвитком у забезпеченні умов інклюзивного середовища в закладі вищої освіти
Authors: Кравченко Ганна
Published: December 2022

Аналіз досвіду педагогічних надбань теоретиків і практиків з питань організації освітнього процесу за інклюзивною формою навчання у закладах вищої освіти обґрунтовує значення використання методів адаптивного управління розвитком інклюзивного середовища.

Саме адаптивне управління розкриває закономірності організації освітнього процесу для студентів з особливими потребами, визначає сутність, зміст, форми та методи саме освітнього процесу, що визначає ефективність застосування методів адаптивного управління розвитком. Встановлено, що інклюзивне навчання передбачає створення освітнього середовища, яке відповідає потребам і можливостям кожної людини, незалежно від особливостей її психофізичного розвитку.

У змісті статті визначені основні здобутки інклюзивного освітнього середовища, важливі аспекти інклюзивної освіти, що забезпечують ефективність та якість навчання, застосування форм, методів та технологій, які враховують індивідуальні особливості осіб з особливими потребами. Звернено увагу на те, що навчання студентів з особливими потребами в закладах вищої освіти, з одного боку, допомагає їм позбутися почуття ізольованості, відчуження у суспільстві, сприяє зникненню соціальних бар’єрів, а з іншого – навчає студентів спілкуватися і співпрацювати разом. Освітнє середовище тільки тоді буде інклюзивним у ЗВО, коли буде спланований і організований фізичний простір, у якому студенти мають можливість безпечно пересуватися під час групових та індивідуальних занять; в академічних групах студентської молоді буде відбувається спілкування на позитивному психоемоційному рівні, що передбачає надання один одному допомоги; будуть створені умови спільної партнерської роботи студентів з особливими потребами та викладачами кафедр, які сприятимуть досягненню позитивного результату.

Виходячи з цього розкрито методи адаптивного управління розвитком інклюзивного середовища в закладах вищої освіти та подано їх характеристику. Зосереджено увагу на методах теоретичного та практичного рівнів адаптивного управління розвитком. Саме через визначення характерних ознак адаптивного управління запропоновано групи методів та власне методи адаптивного управління: загальні методи адаптивного управління спрямовані на підтримку існуючої системи інклюзивної освіти у напрямі її розвитку, а специфічні методи адаптивного управління щодо забезпечення умов інклюзивного середовища в закладах вищої освіти передбачають спеціальні дії.

The agricultural sector is a vital sector for the survival of Indonesia. However, one of the problems faced is the regeneration of farmers because not all young people want to participate in this sector. One of the communities that responded to this condition is Aku Petani Indonesia. This community carries out various activities to create intention to participate in agriculture activities among the younger generation. This research is to study how these activities create word-of-mouth that can intention. The Theory of Planned Behavior is included as a theoretical framework. This research design is concurrent triangulation, which combines quantitative and qualitative data to obtain more in-depth results. The study results show that these community activities produced word-of-mouth to create intention among the young generation. The resulting word-of-mouth positively affected their interest in participating in the agricultural sector mediated by the Theory of Planned Behavior variables. The evidence lies in the number of young people who shared their farming activities voluntarily on social media and their involvement in various activities organized by the community.

Abstrak

Sektor pertanian merupakan sektor vital bagi kelangsungan hidup Indonesia. Namun salah satu kendala yang dihadapi adalah kaderisasi petani karena tidak semua generasi muda mau berpartisipasi di sektor ini. Salah satu komunitas yang merespons kondisi ini adalah Aku Petani Indonesia. Komunitas ini melakukan berbagai kegiatan untuk menumbuhkan niat untuk berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan pertanian di kalangan generasi muda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari bagaimana kegiatan tersebut menciptakan word-of-mouth yang dapat menimbulkan niat. Theory of Planned Behavior pada penelitian digunakan sebagai kerangka teoritis. Desain penelitian ini adalah triangulasi konkuren, yaitu menggabungkan data kuantitatif dan kualitatif untuk mendapatkan hasil yang lebih mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan komunitas ini menghasilkan word-of-mouth yang mampu membentuk intensi di kalangan generasi muda. Word-of-mouth yang dihasilkan berpengaruh positif terhadap intensi untuk berpartisipasi di sektor pertanian yang dimediasi oleh variabel Theory of Planned Behavior. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan banyaknya anak muda yang membagikan kegiatan bertani secara sukarela di media sosial dan keterlibatan mereka dalam berbagai kegiatan yang diselenggarakan oleh masyarakat.

Objective: The development of new radiopharmaceuticals capable of specifically imaging cancer is an important research area. For this reason, the aim of this study is to investigate cell binding of novel developed nanoradiopharmaceutical ([99mTc]Tc-nab-PTX) on HT-29 cell line (human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells).

Material and Method: In this study, nab-PTX was labeled with [99mTc]Tc, and labeling efficiency and in vitro stability were investigated by radioactive thin layer chromatography (RTLC). Then, cell incorporation of [99mTc]Tc-nab-PTX was performed using HT-29 cell line.

Result and Discussion: According to obtained results, nab-PTX was labeled with high radiochemical purity (>99%). The [99mTc]Tc-nab-PTX was found to be stable in saline for 6-h, and in cell medium up to 2-h. It was determined that [99mTc]Tc-nab-PTX had a greater cell binding activity on HT-29 cells than R/H-[99mTc]NaTcO4 at 30 min. The results were found to be promising for future in vivo studies with [99mTc]Tc-nab-PTX.

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini merupakan program berkelanjutan dari PkM Desa Ramah Lingkungan di Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai sebagai Persiapan Menuju Desa Wisata yang Sehat dan Ramah Lingkungan setelah pandemic Covid-19 berakhir. Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai memiliki 4 pulau besar dan kecil (252 buah). Siberut, Sipora, Pagai Utara dan Selatan adalah pulau-pulau besar. Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai memiliki dataran, sungai, dan perbukitan, serta wilayah ibu kota kecamatan berada pada ketinggian 2 meter di atas permukaan laut (DPL). Tuapejat adalah ibu kota Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai dan berjarak 153-kilometer dari Padang. Ibukota Sumatera Barat harus dicapai dengan air. Sebagai kontribusi Prodi Teknik Sipil FT UKI yang beorientasi kepada lingkungan berkelanjutan maka dilakukan program Forum Group Discussion (FGD) sebagai bentuk pengabdian kepada masyarakat untuk perangkat desa setempat dengan berfokus kepada pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam pengolahan sampah untuk mempersiapkan insrastruktur yang mendukung Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif Masyarakat di desa Tuapajet Kabupaten Mentawai. Pencemaran lingkungan seringkali dimulai dari persoalan timbunan sampah rumah tangga. Berbagai kampanye telah dilakukan dalam rangka mencoba meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat tentang kepedulian terhadap lingkungan. Perguruan tinggi, melalui Program Studi Teknik Sipil FT UKI sebagai mitra pemerintah, harus berkontribusi dalam mensosialisasikan hal ini ke wilayah pesisir yang sulit dijangkau oleh media, seperti Kepulauan Mentawai. Banyaknya timbunan sampah yang menumpuk di berbagai sudut wilayah permukiman serta minimnya edukasi bagi masyarakat untuk dapat memahami dampak yang ditimbulkan dari timbunan sampah tersebut membuat warga acapkali menyepelekan hal tersebut. Pemerintah sejak tahun 2006 dengan gencar mensosialisasi dan mengkampanyekan lewat media televisi perlunya pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga menggunakan prinsip 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Berbagai program kampanye yang dilakukan tersebut bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat terhadap pentingnya pengelolaan sampah menggunakan prinsip 3R
Targeting Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Alterations in Cholangiocarcinoma and Other Solid Tumours: A New Frontier in Personalised Medicine
Authors: de Braud Filippo , Valle Juan , Lamarca Angela , Malka David , Hollebecque Antoine
Published: December 2022

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a cancer of the bile duct with poor prognosis and increasing incidence. Filippo de Braud gave an overview of CCA and its classification and highlighted key unmet needs in both diagnosis and treatment. Juan Valle explained that intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) accounts for 11% of the entire cancer of unknown primary (CUP) population, as well as 33% of patients with liver-inclusive disease. It is, therefore, vital that CUP with a ‘liver-dominant lesion’ is reviewed by a specialist team familiar with iCCA management. Angela Lamarca emphasised that managing CAA requires a multidisciplinary approach to both diagnosis and treatment. Precision medicine is now a reality in biliary tract carcinoma (BTC), particularly iCCA, so molecular testing is essential to ensure targeted therapy options are considered. David Malka explored existing and emerging standard-of-care (SOC) treatments for advanced BTC, which represents a target-rich disease. Updated guidelines now recommend targeted treatment for second-line iCCA in patients with appropriate alterations, underscoring the importance of systematic and early molecular profiling. A wide range of malignancies harbour FGFR alterations at varying frequencies, and the FGFR inhibitor pemigatinib is already approved for the treatment of CCA with FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements. Antoine Hollebecque highlighted the final results from the Phase II FIGHT-202 study, in which pemigatinib achieved an overall response rate (ORR) of 37% in the target population with a manageable safety profile.
