Published: July 2024

Introduction: Rabies is a dreadful zoonotic viral disease that affects animals and humans with a fatality rate of 100%. This report aims to create awareness among the veterinarians and general public about the paralytic form of rabies in order to understand the antemortem clinical diagnosis implications in limited resource settings, so as to follow the post-exposure prophylaxis at the golden hour period of rabies transmission.
Case presentation: A one-year-old female dog was presented to the Ambulatory Clinic Unit, Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Theni, Tamil Nadu, India with the ailment of a dropped jaw and was unable to swallow food and water for the past three days. Epidemiological investigations revealed that the animal had dog-bitten wounds from a week ago. On clinical examination, facial distortion, changes in the vocal cord, and paralysis of the throat muscle were noticed. Based on the anamnesis, clinical, and epidemiological investigations, the animal was diagnosed to be a probable case of paralytic form of canine rabies. In the limited resource settings, antemortem clinical diagnosis was practiced to suspect rabies-infected dogs. Further, the owner was advised to implement preventive measures to safeguard against rabies infection. The dog was kept under isolation and succumbed on day two with evidence of progressive paralytic signs.
Conclusions: This report emphasizes the importance of paralytic rabies, alongside of furious form of rabies, further creating awareness among the general public about the antemortem clinical diagnosis under limited resource settings.

Published: July 2024

Pricing and reimbursement in the European Union (EU) are unified by Directive 89/105/EEC/21.12.1988. The directive has a framework nature; it defines deadlines for decision-making, legal protection, publicity of information, tacit consent, etc. The specific mechanisms are subject to national measures, leading to differences in Member States. The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of the regulatory measures for pricing and reimbursement of medicinal products in Bulgaria and Italy. We looked at four main pricing and reimbursement measures: positive drug lists, reference pricing, health technology assessment, and innovative schemes. We used documentary analysis and synthesis, comparative, and statistical methods. The two countries’ pricing and reimbursement systems are fundamentally different. Italy’s system has long traditions and guarantees stability in the availability and affordability of medicinal products for the population. Since 2000, the regulations concerning the pricing and reimbursement system in Bulgaria have been amended more than 42 times, which characterizes the Bulgarian pricing and reimbursement policy as regulatoryly unstable.
A revision of Lycianthes (Solanaceae) in tropical Asia
Authors: Knapp Sandra
Published: July 2024

The genus Lycianthes (Dunal) Hassl. (Solanaceae) has in the past been treated as a section of the large genus Solanum L. but is more closely related to Capsicum L. Outside of the Americas, where the highest species diversity occurs, the genus is found in tropical and subtropical habitats from India to Japan and the Philippines, including the islands of Indonesia, New Guinea and the Solomons. The 19 species from Australia, New Guinea and the Pacific were treated in ‘PhytoKeys 209’. Here I treat the remaining 10 species occurring across Asia; including two native species, L. biflora (Lour.) Bitter and L. oliveriana (Lauterb. & K.Schum) Bitter, and one cultivated species, L. rantonnetii (Carrière) Bitter that were also included in the earlier work. The Asian species treated here occupy a wide range of forested and disturbed habitats and are diverse in habit, ranging from epiphytic vines to small or medium sized trees, shrubs or creeping herbs. Many of the species are weedy plants of highly disturbed habitats and are best characterised as “ochlospecies”, with complex polymorphic variation. Lycianthes rantonnetii, a species native to southern South America, is recorded as cultivated in India and Pakistan, but may be more widespread than collections indicate. The history of taxonomic treatments of Lycianthes in Asia is discussed, along with details of morphology found in all species. All species are treated in full, with complete morphological descriptions, including synonymy, lecto- or neotypifications, discussions of ecology and vernacular names, distribution maps and preliminary conservation assessments (for all except the cultivated L. rantonnetii). Searchable lists of all specimens examined are presented as Suppl. materials 1, 2.
Dickyyuella argentinensis a tentative new genus and species of Cardiochilinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) from the Neotropical region
Authors: Kang Ilgoo , Sharkey Michael J.
Published: July 2024

Dickyyuella Kang & Sharkey, gen. nov. is a novel addition to the microgastroid complex of Braconidae. Taxonomic assignment within this complex posed challenges initially due to the presence of putatively plesiomorphic characters. However, closer examination revealed affiliations with the microgastroid complex, supported by morphological features such as the location of spiracles on the first metasomal tergum and the absence of spiracles on the seventh metasomal tergum. Based on the following two morphological characters, the presence of an inverted Y-shaped groove on the first metasomal tergum and pectinate tarsal claws, Dickyyuella Kang & Sharkey, gen. nov. is tentatively placed within Cardiochilinae Ashmead, 1900 despite uncertainties surrounding phylogenetic relationships. This article provides the diagnosis of Dickyyuella Kang & Sharkey, gen. nov., the description of Dickyyuella argentinensis Kang & Sharkey, sp. nov., and a discussion of the taxonomic placement of the new genus within the microgastroid complex.

Authors: Zoysa E. V. J. , Nadeetharu B. K. M. , Kulatunga U.
Published: July 2024

The competencies required for migrant Quantity Surveyors (QS) have become highly significant since the employment market had become more competitive. Despite professional bodies having introduced competency standards to be persistent in international markets, Sri Lankan young QSs are experiencing difficulties due to a lack of knowledge in competencies. Thus, this study intended to ascertain the skills required by quantity surveying degree holders to address the competency gaps to enter the international market. A comprehensive literature review was carried out to identify the QS’s competencies underlined by professional bodies and to investigate the job roles available in the international market. The study followed a mixed research approach under a survey strategy. The data gathered in two phases through questionnaire surveys and expert interviews were used to identify the competency gap of QSs in the international market. This gap between the competencies of newly graduated QSs and international market requirements is more visible in the areas of contract administration and construction technology. Furthermore, the study discovered the challenges faced by migrant QSs in their early career including lack of required years of experience and absence of international exposure. Ultimately, the paper guides all the QSs on their career opportunities in overseas employment and it helps undergraduates to identify essential competencies when they want to survive in the international construction industry.

Authors: Kilintan K. , Perera B. A. K. S. , Kajavathani P.
Published: July 2024

High-rise (HR) development projects face significant risks and time constraints. The majority of owners seek the projects to be completed early. Early identification of the factors affecting CTP (Construction Time Performance) would allow to reduce or eliminate time overruns. The contractor plays a significant role in CTP. CQSs (Contractor Quantity Surveyors) have also been receiving increasing attention concerning CTP. The roles performed by CQSs can be utilized to control the factors affecting CTP. Therefore, this study focuses on the factors affecting CTP in HR buildings and the role of the CQS (Contractor Quantity Surveyor) in CTP. The study used a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews selected through purposive sampling were used to gather the required information. The data were manually analyzed using content analysis. Fifty-four factors were identified and classified under six categories. A new additional factor was identified. Interviewees endorsed 49 factors that have a substantial impact on CTP. Seventeen roles of CQSs were identified. The identified 17 roles can influence thirty-three CTP-related factors. The study intends to increase awareness of enhancing CTP related to HR building projects.

Authors: Adikaram K. K. N. B. , Surangi H. A. K. N. S.
Published: July 2024

A methodological review attempts to critically analyze and discover the research procedures employed in studies that have already been conducted aiming to understand both effective and ineffective approaches.This study conducted a systematic review of forty empirical studies on SME crisis management to evaluate the methodologies used to identify the most commonly used research methodologies, significant characteristics of each research design, its related facets, and future research approaches. Articles were systematically selected from reputed online data bases considering the journal ranking and the citations.The findings may fill a gap in the SME crisis management literature caused by a lack of empirical evidence for methodological review synthesis. It was discovered that quantitative studies dominated the SME crisis management literature. In contrast,qualitative research studies, which are required to gain a more in-depth understanding of the subject, receive less attention and even reflect variations in the application of various qualitative approaches.Even in quantitative studies, it is prominent to find a tendency toward reduced usage of advanced statistical tools, insufficient sample size, and longitudinal data utilization. Findings directed future research requirements for more in-depth studies on crisis phenomena in the SME environment.

Impact of violent and property crimes on microfirms’ performance: The Philippine experience
Authors: Manansala Leo Delaric , Valerio Alice Tibayan
Published: July 2024

Crime creates business uncertainties that can disturb, if not destroy, the already vulnerable business environment. Microfirms, due to their smallness, are more susceptible to the effects of crime as they lack the resources to invest in protection and endure its effects. Many empirical investigations on the subject matter have not yet produced a definite conclusion. Thus, this study is imperative. This study fills the inconclusiveness, vagueness, and mixed evidence of the crimes’ impact on entrepreneurship in the literature. This quantitative research used secondary data consisting of a two-panel micro-level data set with a total of 1,190 observations from 2009 to 2018. The fixed effect and random effect regression models were used to know how crime rates of physical assault, theft, and robbery affect microfirms’ performance, and the causality direction and dynamics were investigated using MWALD Granger causality. The result highlighted the strong evidence depicting the negative effects of crime on microfirms’ performance. A bidirectional causality also runs between microfirms’ performance and crime, but there is a negative impact on both variables in the long run. The findings underscored the importance of multisectoral participation in preventing and mitigating the effect of crimes against persons and property on microfirms and promoting a business-friendly environment.

Published: July 2024

This study examines how psychological and external factors, including perceived uncertainty, resilience, value-added attribute, mass-media coverage, and travel constraints, affect perceived arousal, and lead to the behavior of seeking information about international destinations of young travelers. The study underlines the use of the protection motivation theory and is supported by the theory of reasoned action to explore the perspectives of seeking behavior in the tourism sector. In addition, perceived arousal mediates the relationship between these variables and the information-seeking behavior of travelers. This study was conducted in Vietnam during the post-Covid pandemic, using quantitative and convenience sampling methods to collect data from 256 valid respondents. Structural equation modeling will be used to examine the extent to which the six factors above are connected to the outcome variable (information-seeking behavior). The findings reveal the impact of resilience and media coverage on perceived arousal among tourists and then positively significant to their seeking behavior. Finally, this study is empirically valuable to contribute important literature to the tourism industry and Destination Marketing Organizations, especially concerning the post-pandemic recovery.

A Rare Complication of Perianal Fistula: Mucinous Adenocarcinoma Developing Three Years After Diagnosis
Authors: Taşkın Ali Kemal
Published: July 2024

It is very rare to see perianal fistula(PF) and mucinous adenocarcinoma(MA) together. The underlying pathophysiology leading to malignant transformation is still not clear. For MA to develop, PF must be at least 10 years old, and this is one of the diagnostic criteria . However, Michihiro Koizumi et al. revealed the existence of a PF-related MA with a 3-year follow-up. In our case, the history of PF disease was 3 years. Although there is a risk of developing MA 10 years after diagnosis in patients with PF, it should be kept in mind that MA may also develop at an earlier period. Therefore, especially patients who are untreated and whose chronic inflammatory process continues in the fistula tract should be closely monitored for MA.

Published: July 2024

Introdução: As cirurgias para reparo de hérnia inguinal são amplamente realizadas no mundo. O uso de abordagem minimamente invasiva ganhou espaço a partir da videolaparoscopia. A evolução tecnológica levou ao uso da técnica robótica-assistida para reparo inguinal. O presente artigo tem por objetivo revisar a literatura sobre os benefícios e limitações do uso da robótica em comparação à videolaparoscopia convencional no reparo inguinal. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Foram consultados artigos científicos publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED e SciELO entre 2018 e 2024. Resultados e discussão: A técnica robótica-assistida oferece visualização tridimensional e amplificada da cavidade abdominal, além de instrumentos de manuseio mais fácil. Isso permite uma curva de aprendizado mais curta para o cirurgião, bem como um procedimento cirúrgico mais preciso e com menor lesão tecidual. No entanto, as evidências disponíveis falham em demonstrar a superioridade da técnica robótica-assistida em comparação à videolaparoscopia convencional. Não foram identificadas diferenças consideráveis entre as duas técnicas quanto à recidiva, complicações pós-operatórias, tempo de recuperação e qualidade de vida do paciente. A técnica robótica mostrou-se mais cara e com maior tempo cirúrgico. Considerações finais: As evidências atuais mostram desfechos clínicos semelhantes para o paciente com a técnica robótica-assistida e a videolaparoscopia. A maioria dos estudos disponíveis inclui somente pacientes com hérnias primárias unilaterais, o que pode prejudicar os resultados obtidos. Há necessidade de mais estudos que comparem as duas abordagens cirúrgicas e que incluam mais variáveis em seu escopo.

Published: July 2024

The quality and safety of plant-based products are becoming a major concern worldwide, particularly because of heavy metal contamination. The present study was based on determining the content of toxic elements (Pb, Cd, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, and Bi) in the medicinal plant Lycopodium clavatum marketed in Romanian shops. Phytochemical analyses were also carried out to determine the total content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds. In addition, the relationship between the phenolic compounds and heavy metals content was determined. The results showed average values of 0.045; 0.035; 1.156; 0.472 and 0.075 mg/kg for Pb, Co, Cu, Cr, and Ni, while for Mn, Cd, and Bi, the concentrations were below the method's detection limit. Data corresponding to correlation coefficients for phenolic compounds and different metals showed significant positive and negative correlations. Although the selected metals pose no threat to the environment at their current level, their accumulation over time in soil and plants can endanger the environment and human health.

Scholars have attempted to analyze the capital structure and dividend payout interface to determine their extent, nature, and significance using different proxies with mixed results. However, the moderating effect of share price on the link has yet to be empirically assessed. Therefore, this study examined the moderating effect of share price on the relationship between capital structure and dividend payout of quoted agriculture firms in Nigeria. Debt-equity ratio and debt-assets were the proxies of capital structure, while dividend payout ratio measured dividend payout. Signaling Effect, Bird in Hand, and Efficient Market Theories underpinned the study. Adopting an ex-post facto research design, the panel data sourced from annual published accounts of the firms of analysis were analyzed, and hypotheses were tested using STATA 13 software. The findings showed that debt-equity ratio and debt-assets ratio each has an insignificant effect on the dividend payout ratio of quoted agriculture firms in Nigeria. Furthermore, market price has a positive and insignificant moderating effect on the relationship between debt-equity ratio and dividend payout ratio, while it has a negative and significant moderating effect on the relationship between debt-assets ratio and dividend payout ratio of quoted agriculture firms in Nigeria. It implied that market price is a major determinant in the interface between debt-asset ratio and dividend payout ratio of quoted agriculture firms in Nigeria. It is recommended that firms use an optimal debt-equity mix to finance strategic productive assets and consistently pay competitive dividends to shareholders.

The human neural system constitutes the central control mechanism of the organism, overseeing the vast majority of human functions and their coordination. Neurological disorders disrupt its harmonious functioning, and as anticipated, it is imperative to investigate the underlying causes and devise appropriate interventions. Tourette's syndrome exemplifies a neuropsychiatric disorder, the full understanding of which remains elusive. The causative factors are shrouded in ambiguity, with evidence suggesting a convergence of both genetic and environmental elements. The multifaceted origins of Tourette's syndrome manifest in a spectrum of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. This complexity, compounded by its comorbidity with disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), complicates its diagnosis. Treatment modalities for the syndrome are diverse. While pharmacological treatment has proven considerably effective, it often comes with attendant side effects. In cases presenting mild symptoms, behavioral training techniques offer relief, whereas in instances of more severe manifestations, a neurosurgical procedure known as deep brain stimulation has recorded success.

La obesidad es una entidad que actúa como factor de riesgo para el desarrollo del hígado graso no alcohólico; esto es particularmente importante en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2). En los últimos años ha ganado presencia científica una entidad fisiopatológicamente relacionada, llamada riñón graso, que podría contribuir al desarrollo de complicaciones renales y extrarrenales en estos pacientes.
La enfermedad renal grasa se asocia a insulinorresistencia e hiperinsulinemia, alteraciones hormonales y glomerulopatía con el posterior desarrollo de enfermedad renal crónica (ERC), resultado del depósito de grasa perirrenal, pararrenal, ectópico y parenquimatoso. La enfermedad renal grasa se vincula con diversas alteraciones de los mecanismos que regulan la autofagia, lo que podría derivar en el desarrollo de alternativas terapéuticas relevantes. En este sentido, el objetivo de esta revisión narrativa fue reseñar los principales mecanismos a través de los cuales se verifica la asociación entre la enfermedad renal grasa y las alteraciones de la autofagia, así como sus potenciales implicaciones clínicas y terapéuticas actuales y futuras.

The rapid growth of online communication platforms has provided unprecedented opportunities for global dialogue. Yet, it has also introduced challenges such as the proliferation of toxic comments, which can have severe consequences for individuals and communities. This research paper proposes a machine learning-based approach to mitigate the impact of toxic comments by automatically identifying and filtering them from online discussions. Our study begins by curating a comprehensive dataset of labeled comments, encompassing a spectrum of toxicity levels. Leveraging state-of-the-art natural language processing techniques, we extract relevant features from the textual content, including sentiment, context, and linguistic patterns. These features serve as inputs to a machine learning model, trained on a diverse range of toxic and non-toxic comments. In conclusion, this research contributes to the development of intelligent content moderation systems that foster healthier online discourse. By implementing machine learning algorithms, we aim to provide a scalable and effective solution for identifying and filtering toxic comments, ultimately promoting a more inclusive and respectful online environment.

Healthcare organizations produce a substantial volume of healthcare data on a daily basis, managing and monitoring of the healthcare data is tedious and results in data explosion. The healthcare data generated should be properly maintained in the data repository otherwise leads to privacy threat. Most of the healthcare data are unstructured in nature and needs to be organized in a better format. Extracting the meaningful insights from the unstructured healthcare data is complex and most of the time it results in meaningless data. Unless the unstructured healthcare data is transformed to structured healthcare data, proper insights cannot be drawn from the healthcare data. Parsing Unstructured Healthcare Data (PUHD) using the regular expressions helps in identifying the key value elements from the unstructured healthcare data which are the demographic data of the patient and analysis of the healthcare data from these key value elements becomes easier.  So, there is a need to design a system that achieves automatic extraction of the key value elements from the unstructured healthcare data.
