Efficacy of endoscopic mucosal resection versus endoscopic submucosal dissection for rectal neuroendocrine tumors ≤10mm: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Zhou Ce , Zhang Furong , We Yinghua
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND:

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are surgical methods used for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with diameters of ≤ 10 mm. However, which method has a higher performance remains uncertain.

OBJECTIVES:

Evaluate which of the two methods shows a higher performance.

DESIGN:

Systematic review and meta-analysis

METHODS:

Data from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched from inception to 12 April 2022. Outcomes, including complete resection, en bloc resection, recurrence, perforation, bleeding, and procedure time, were pooled by 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using a fixed- or random-effects model.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

Complete resection, en bloc resection, and recurrence.

SAMPLE SIZE:

18 studies, including 1168 patients were included in the study.

RESULTS:

Eighteen retrospective cohort studies were included in this meta-analysis. There were no statistical differences in the rates of complete resection, en bloc resection, recurrence, perforation, and bleeding rates between EMR and ESD. However, a statistical difference was detected in the procedure time; EMR had a significantly shorter time (MD=−17.47, 95% CI=−22.31 – −12.62,
P
<.00001).

CONCLUSIONS:

EMR and ESD had similar efficacies and safety profiles in resectioning rectal NETs ≤ 10 mm. Even so, the advantages of EMR included a shorter operation time and expenditure. Thus, with respect to health economics, EMR outperformed ESD.

LIMITATION:

Most of these studies are retrospective cohort studies instead of RCTs.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None.

Authors: RUBINA YOUSAF  , ATTYIA RASHID
Published: June 2023

Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess the factors indicating success in vaginal delivery after previous one C-Section.

Material and Methods: The study was carried out to assess the factors indicating successful VBAC ( vaginal birth after caesarean section). Over a period of two years from Jan 2011 to Dec 2012 at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Al-khidmat Teaching Mansoorah Hospital, Lahore affiliated with University College of Medicine and Dentistry

Results: The frequency of normal vaginal delivery after previous 1 C-Section was 47.29% while 52.7% had repeat CSection. The only statistically significant factor which could favor successful vaginal delivery was history of previous vaginal delivery prior to previous C-Section. Patients who had previous C-section for bad obstetrical history were delivered by repeat caesarean section. Majority of the patients included in the study group were booked belonged to educated middle class families having awareness of the complications that may occur during trial of labor. Provision of adequate antenatal health care services, timely identification of high risk cases, use of electronic fetal monitoring, involvement of senior , skilled and experienced personnel in the management of obstetrical emergencies are responsible for successful trial of Labor i.e. almost 50% patients delivered vaginally after previous I C-Section. Thus in order to increase the rate of NVD frequency of trial of labor must be increased with the goal of vaginal delivery but without compromising maternal and fetal health.

Conclusion: Almost 50% of the patients with previous one C-Section can be delivered normally especially if they had delivered vaginally previously. The decision of VBAC is complex and ultimately resides with the women and her Obstetrician after counseling the patient regarding all the risk - benefit profile.

Published: June 2023

Pemikiran Islam lahir menjawab kegelisahan atas realitas yang dihadapi oleh seorang intelektual. Ahmad an-Na’im adalah tokoh yang muncul dari kegelisahan atas realitas umat Islam dalam menerpkan konsep syari’ah dan negara. Artikel ini menggunakan analisis ekploratif, ide-ide an-Na’im tentang al-Qur’an akan menjadi focus kajian. Al-Qur’ān penuntun prilaku dan moralitas manusia, ia bukan narasi tekstual mengenai hukum. Ini menjadi paradigma al-Qur’an, al-Qur’an sebagai reading for reality. Konsepsi al-Qur’an dalam memandang realitas makki-madani menjadikan terma nask-mansukk bukan penghapusan, melainkan penundaan sementara pemberlakuka ayat. Aspek ayat makkiyah bisa ditunda pelaksanaannya dan diganti dengan aspek-aspek dalam ayat madaniyah. Al-Qur’an bukanlah kitab yang karena kontradiski aytanya membuat manusia malas untuk berfikir.

Published: June 2023

The success of an autonomous database largely depends on its ability to predict the future. With the knowledge of what is going to happen in the future, an autonomous database can choose proper optimization strategies at the right time. This helps an autonomous database to be proactive rather than being reactive. Here, in this paper, we will concentrate on workload management task of a database management system. There can be multiple workloads that are active during a time period with each workload having different priorities. Amount of resources available to lower priority workloads depend upon the load on higher priority workloads. If a system can model its user’s workload consumption from history, it can use this knowledge to serve the following use cases: 1. Depending on the system load, dynamically scale up or scale down the system capacity. 2. Dynamically allocate resources to workload groups such that overall system performance is optimized. In this paper we present a predictive system which predicts the following metrics for each workload groups for the next (few) timestep(s): 1. Percentage of total CPU that a workload group is going to consume in the specified timestep. 2. Amount of IO (data) in KB that a workload group is going to consume in the specified timestep. 3. Number of queries which are going to arrive for a workload group in the specified timestep. The use cases mentioned above can be achieved once we can predict the workload group metrics listed above. Using the predicted values to dynamically scale up/down system capacity or dynamically allocate resources to workloads is out of scope of current work

The effect of market information on export performance: The mediating role of notional export support and encouragement
Authors: Ali Mohamed Salih Yousif
Published: June 2023

Global competition and economic globalization are forcing countries' governments to devise encouragement support programs and formulate exporting policies to help SMEs export, compete, and survive in foreign markets. This study examines the mediating role of national export support and encouragement programs (NESEPs) in clarifying the impact of determinants of market environment information on the SMEs' export financial performance (EXFP) and SMEs' export strategic performance (EXSP) based on a resource-based view, which helps understand novel holistic relationships between them. Data from 106 exporting SME firms working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were collected using an online questionnaire survey. Regression path analysis from structural equation modeling was used to test the study's model relationships. The most important positive findings that emerged from this study are: Determinants of market information acquisition (DMIA) will positively influence SMEs' EXFP and NESEP. Determinants of market information dissemination (DMID) will positively influence SMEs' EXSP. Determinants of market information responsiveness (DMIR) will positively influence NESEP. NESEP will positively mediate the effect of DMIA and DMIR on SMEs' EXSP. The study’s theoretical and social implications and limitations are discussed in the concluding sections. Furthermore, directions for future research are provided.

In an era of challenging business and increasingly fierce competition, the company (business) reputation has become an increasingly valuable and vital asset. To maintain a good reputation, this study aims to explain what internal factors affect the business reputation and test the consistency of agency theory as a solution in explaining the influence of internal factors such as sustainability, millennial director, financial distress, board of commissioners, and company size on business reputation. The research used the power of panel data analysis, complemented by advanced statistical techniques such as Robust, Fixed Effects, Ordinary Least Square Regression, and Random Effects. This method is executed using Stata software, which offers incredible flexibility to seamlessly connect theoretical concepts and empirical data related to research variables. Results of this research show that sustainability and a board of commissioners are not able to have a significant influence on the business reputation; millennial directors and financial distress have a negative influence on the business reputation, while the company size has a significant positive effect on the business reputation. This research makes a valuable contribution to the company's management in considering important factors that can affect the business reputation, as well as taking appropriate steps to maintain and improve its reputation amid increasingly fierce business competition.

Published: June 2023

The global supply networks have been disrupted and weak connections exposed to an extent that few people have ever seen in their lifetime due to the COVID-19 epidemic. As a result of the severity of the crisis, every country and industry is feeling the effects, and the massive shifts in demand and supply that have happened throughout the epidemic are easily distinguishable from the effects of previous crises. We looked into the adaptability of alliance management and AI-driven supply chain analytics in the context of an ever-changing external environment. We examined four hypotheses in this area using survey data from the American auto components manufacturing industry. To do the analysis, we used Smart PLS. Alliance management capabilities, mediated by AI-powered supply chain analytics capacity, have been found to increase an organization's operational and financial performance. We also discovered, with environmental dynamics as a moderating factor, that alliance management capability has a substantial impact on AI-powered supply chain analytics capabilities. Based on our findings, we have a deep appreciation for the interplay between dynamic capacities and the relational view of organization. Finally, we pointed up the limitations of our study and offered a number of directions for future investigation that might help address some of the concerns that our results raise.
Financial supply chain management on agricultural product trade: Simulation from Thailand to China
Authors: Shen Yongtao , Panichakarn Boonsub
Published: June 2023

This study aims to explore the application of financial supply chain management on agricultural product trade, and an example simulation case that Thai durian exports to China. After collection of variables and relationships in previous literature, a model of durian trade supply chain with material flow and cash flow has been created. As a result of the simulation, we found that cash flows of downstream participants are strongly higher than the upstream, which is partly proving that the downstream participants have more opportunities to invest upstream for intervention. Besides, we suggest government agencies, business sector, and financial institutions should strengthen communication and cooperation to maintain stability of current Thai durian trade supply chain, meanwhile, remain on high alertness to postharvest, delivery delays and durian demand to prevent the impact of supply chain disruption on cash flow.

The objective of the study is to identify the impact of big data on sustainable supply chain management. The current research was conducted on hypermarkets in Jordan. Many of these hypermarket brands are widely scattered in Jordan, for instance, Carrefour, Kareem, Safeway and more. Accordingly, the target population in the current research was hypermarkets managers in Jordan as they are responsible for formulating such strategies in the companies they work for. A convenience sample was selected from the target population that included 770 managers based on the sample size formula. The study hypotheses were tested by covariance based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM). The study results showed the impact of each big data dimension on sustainable supply chain management. Based on this result, the researchers recommend the hypermarkets in Jordan to use modern and diverse methods for accurate collection of reliable data and save it in organized ways, and to employ advanced programs to analyze it and extract information of high value.

This paper aims to empirically examine how public sector auditing agencies have strategically positioned themselves in a changing external operating environment and policy context. Specifically, this study aims to examine the effect of strategic management accounting on strategic supply chain positioning. The mediating roles of external and internal orientations were employed as mediating variables in this study. The research was conducted in the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK) in December 2022 to January 2023 by involving a total sample of 325 respondents. The data obtained in this study were analyzed using a variance-based structural method using the Partial Least Squares path modeling method through SmartPLS software. The findings showed that there is a significant influence of strategic management accounting on strategic supply chain positioning. The findings also emphasized the mediating roles of internal orientation and external orientation in strengthening the effects of strategic management accounting on strategic supply chain positioning. The results highlighted that strategic management accounting plays an important role in helping public sector auditing agencies to strategically position themselves in auditing practices. In addition, internal orientation can also help organizations to optimize the use and the allocation of internal resources. The findings presented in this study theoretically contribute to explaining empirical evidence regarding the effect of strategic supply chain positioning in strategic management accounting activities in public sector accounting and auditing practices.

This study aims to examine the supply chain management perspective of subjective norms, attitude, perceived behavioral control, and intention on e-waste recycling behavior, and the mediating role of intention in the relationship between the factors of extended theory of planned behavior and e-waste recycling behavior. The research sample was students at some universities in Jakarta, Indonesia with data collected through an online questionnaire. The results of the analysis show that subjective norms, attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and intentions have significant effects on e-waste recycling behavior. In addition, intention can mediate the relationship between attitude and perceived behavioral control on e-waste recycling behavior. The implication highlighted the importance of the role of subjective norms, attitude, perceived behavioral control, and intention in influencing one's e-waste recycling behavior. Therefore, public awareness can pay attention to the factors of extended theory of planned behavior in helping to increase the awareness of e-waste recycling. From a theoretical point of view, the findings show that the Theory of Planned Behavior is a useful theoretical framework for understanding the behavior of e-waste recycling. Practically speaking, significant findings about the role of subjective norms, attitudes, perceived behavioral controls, and intentions in influencing e-waste recycling behavior can inform policies and programs aimed at promoting more responsible e-waste management.
