The Moral Hazard Problem with Privatization of Public Enforcement: The Case of Pharmaceutical Fraud
Authors: Matthew Dayna
Published: September 2024

This Article takes a law and economics approach to exploring some of the costs that arise when governments rely on private enforcement to accomplish the goals of public law. The analysis focuses on qui tam enforcement under the Civil False Claims Act, because a remarkable body of empirical data demonstrates the expansive role private qui tam relators are playing in enforcing Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse laws. The Article further focuses on the application of these laws to the pharmaceutical industry. This focus is enlightening because the Government, as well as private enforcers, have recently targeted this industry so that emerging legal trends in private enforcement are readily evident. The economic concept of moral hazard-a well-recognized theory that a person takes more risks and exercises less care when insured than she would if uninsured-is applied to reconceptualize the costs and benefits of private enforcement. These costs are most dramatic when, as in the case of pharmaceutical fraud, the government overwhelmingly cedes to private enforcers its responsibility to protect the social good. This phenomenon is called the "privatization" of public enforcement. The analysis demonstrates a fundamental divergence between private and public incentives in False Claims Act prosecutions. The availability of private enforcers creates significant opportunities for public prosecutors to overenforce. Moreover, the reduction in short-term risk causes Government prosecutors to reduce the care that typically controls their exercise of prosecutorial discretion. The explanatory power of the moral hazard analysis is borne out by a review of case law that demonstrates private enforcement patterns that significantly depart from the public goals of federal anti-fraud law. The Article concludes by proposing legislative language that would reform the qui tam statute, and bring public and private enforcement goals into alignment.

Exploring students’ pro-environmental knowledge and behaviour perceptions: a mixed methods investigation
Authors: Alshehri Saad Zafir
Published: September 2024

This study explored university students’ pro-environmental knowledge and self-reported pro-environmental behaviours, and the influence of environmental education on their knowledge, beliefs and behaviour. This study also investigated the difference in forming pro-environmental behaviours across gender types and academic majors. The Theory of Planned Behaviour was used to frame the study and to understand if knowledge and beliefs translate into pro-environmental behaviours.
A mixed-method approach was taken to achieve the research objectives. The participants comprised of 226 undergraduate students from a leading university in Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire and interview protocol were used to collected data. Descriptive statistical analysis, t-tests, One-way ANOVA, post-hoc tests and thematic analysis were used to analyse the data sets. The results of the study showed that knowledge gained from formal environmental education does not translate to pro-environmental behaviours. This study highlights the need to promote pro-environmental behaviour in university settings by eliminating obstacles to pro-environmental actions.

Authors: Labak Irena , Kujundžić Ivan , Bognar Branko
Published: September 2024

Biology teachers received professional development to effect instructional changes that ensure student cognitive engagement and knowledge acquisition at higher cognitive levels. We asked the following questions: 1) What are the initial needs of teachers to promote active learner engagement and knowledge acquisition at higher cognitive levels? 2) What changes in teaching practice does each form of support trigger? 3) Do supportive and reflection-based professional development succeed in improving pupil academic achievement? Teachers received support in the form of interactive lectures and ready-made examples in the form of a written lesson plan to develop teaching practices that promote cognitive engagement and knowledge acquisition at higher cognitive levels. Throughout the professional development programme, they reflected on the success of their teaching practices derived from the lectures and implemented according to the prepared plans based on feedback. The analysis of video recordings of lessons enabled the collection of feedback, while learning communities facilitated critical discussions. Changes in teaching were monitored and identified through (self-)evaluation of recorded lessons using the Teaching Observation Form (TOF). The impact of the training on students’ academic performance was determined using knowledge tests administered before and after the teacher training. Although teachers made positive changes in their teaching, these did not lead to an improvement in students’ academic performance.

Published: September 2024

Critical analysis (CA) skills are crucial in higher education and should be incorporated into the curriculum at that level. The unique characteristics of abstract biology materials and the involvement of prospective Biology teachers (PBTs) in scientific investigation activities make them highly relevant for teaching CA skills. Inquiry activities require teaching materials or textbooks that explicitly engage science teacher trainees in science process skills (SPS) activities. For effective inquiry-based learning (IBL), appropriate textbooks are essential. Therefore, in this study, a Plant Anatomy and Development textbook based on SPS was utilized as a tool to develop CA skills. The main objective of the study was to assess the impact of SPS-based PADT on PBTs' CA skills in the Plant Anatomy and Development (PAD) course. To achieve the research objectives, a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group was implemented. The research sample consisted of fifty-five prospective teachers who were selected through purposive sampling. They were divided into two groups: the experimental group (n=28) and the control group (n=27). To analyze the students' critical analysis skills, twelve valid and reliable essay items were utilized. The research findings indicated that the experimental group exhibited a significantly greater cognitive gain (>0.70) compared to the control group (0.30 < n-gain < 0.70) (p < 0.05).

Authors: Irwanto Irwanto , Rini Tetik Dian Setyo
Published: September 2024

Applying bibliometric techniques to blended learning research is still relatively uncommon. This study employs bibliometric analysis, employing data from the Scopus database and VOSviewer to show papers published between 2012 and 2022. The study’s sample is made up of publications on blended learning in science that have been indexed by Scopus and were published between 2012–2022, amounting to 194 articles. Through Scopus filters, 85 irrelevant works, including editorials, comments, and book reviews, were excluded. Subsequently, 109 articles relevant to the research objectives were extracted. Citation patterns, publication trends, frequently cited articles, and author keyword analysis were examined, shedding light on the growth of research in blended learning chemistry. As a result, research in blended learning chemistry has grown steadily from year to year in publications in journals with a Scopus index. Analysis and online learning are two terms rarely used concerning blended learning in chemical education. The most often used terms were “e-learning,” “online learning,” “collaborative learning,” and “reverse classroom.” Most blended learning research is carried out in the United States and the United Kingdom. For all of the papers examined, bibliometric analysis was utilised to determine goals and key areas of chemical content. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the evolution and current state of blended learning in chemistry education, providing insights for future research directions and educational practices.
Tryptase levels in children with cutaneous mastocytosis: a prospective study
Authors: Kasikhina Elena
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: Serum tryptase levels are used as a diagnostic marker in mastocytosis and are considered an indicator of clonal mast cell (MC) load.
AIMS: To analyze tryptase levels in children with different clinical types of cutaneous mastocytosis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:A single-center prospective study was conducted for the period 2022-2024. The results of examination of 202 children aged from 6 months to 17 years with a diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytosis, who were undergoing outpatient treatment at the Moscow scientific and practical Center of dermatovenereology and cosmetology, were analyzed. Serum tryptase levels were determined by enzyme immunoassay.
RESULTS:The median basal tryptase level for the entire group (n=202) was 5.09 μg/L (range 1.3–57.0 μg/L). Serum tryptase values exceeding 11.0 μg/L were detected in 17.3% of patients, and 20.0 μg/L in 7.4%. The mean enzyme level in the control group was 2.55 μg/L. There were significant differences in tryptase concentrations between the maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis (MPCM) and control groups (p=0.05). The median tryptase level in children with MPCM was 8.7 μg/L. The most pronounced differences were observed between the enzyme levels in children with the monomorphic type of MPCM and in the control group (p=0.01). Analysis of tryptase levels depending on gender and clinical type of MPCM showed that children and adolescents with the monomorphic type of MPCM had higher enzyme levels.
CONCLUSIONS: Further studies are needed to determine which tryptase levels in children are indicative of MC activation and primary MC diseases. A detailed understanding of tryptase levels in children may facilitate the development of new specific therapeutic approaches to the management of various clinical forms of cutaneous mastocytosis.

Published: September 2024

In the context of the development of the agro-industrial complex and the replacement of imported plant material in the Russian Federation, the development of methods and technologies for the prevention and control of diseases and pests is a priority area of agrarian science. Fungal diseases cause great damage to both vegetable and ornamental crops. Some of the most harmful phytopathogens are fungi of the genus Fusarium (Fusarium Link). The objective of the study is to identify and determine the aggressiveness of the pathogenic mycobiota complex present on annual flowering plants of the Lamiaceae Bromhead family. During immunological studies on plants, fungal pathogens from the genera Alternaria Nees, Fusarium Link, some species of Pythium spp. and representatives of lower mold fungi Penicillium Link, Mucor Fresen were identified. Based on this, a collection of the most common pathogens from the genera Alternaria (5 samples) and Fusarium (10 samples) was created. When testing the selected samples using the method of L.M. Sokolova, the strains of alternariosis did not show high pathogenicity, the damage score of the tested material was from 0.5 to 1.0. When testing the strains of fusarium, the damage score varied from 1.0 to 4.0. Based on this, only one aggressive strain FAK-7 was selected, which had a damage score of 4.0 for the tested material. This pathogenic strain was isolated from the root system of the snapdragon selection line A-5-1. This strain will be involved in the selection process to work on the resistance of snapdragon lines and varieties to root rot.

Authors: Simões Hugo , Lopes Luís , Rachinhas Paulo J. B. M. , Crespo Paulo
Published: September 2024

The orthogonal computed tomography (OrthoCT) concept, based on orthogonal ray imaging, is a low-dose imaging technique currently under investigation to potentially aid in external-beam radiation therapy treatments. This technique involves detecting radiation scattered within the patient and emitted at approximately 90° from the direction of the incoming beam. This scattered radiation can be collected by a 1D-detector system with a multisliced collimator positioned perpendicular to the incident beam axis. Such a system holds promise for on-board imaging with the patient positioned and prepared for treatment, as well as for real-time treatment monitoring. In this study, a multi-slice OrthoCT detector prototype was developed and tested under in-beam irradiation. The system utilizes gadolinium orthosilicate scintillator crystals coupled to photomultiplier tubes and a collimator made of lead slices. Experimental measurements were conducted using a heterogeneous phantom made of acrylic with an air cavity inside. The phantom was irradiated with a TrueBeam linac operating at 6 MV in the flattening-filter-free mode. The findings of this study indicate that this innovative imaging technique is capable of providing morphological images of the phantom. This accomplishment is achieved without the need to rotate the X-ray source around the object to be irradiated, demonstrating the feasibility of such a system.

The incidence and mortality of human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs) are rising in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA), particularly among people who inject drugs. Opioid agonist therapies (OATs), such as methadone or buprenorphine, are the most effective treatments for opioid use disorder and serve as a key HIV-prevention strategy in EECA. OAT uptake across the region, however, has been limited. The Kyrgyz Republic was the first Central Asian country to initiate OAT and remains a pioneer in the region. To understand the progression of OAT scale-up, all legislations related to drug policies or methadone in the Kyrgyz Republic were analyzed from the country’s founding to March 2023 and compared with policies in neighboring countries, particularly Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. Concurrently, local news coverage and policy reports were also assessed. OAT has been available in the Kyrgyz Republic since 2001, initially as a pilot project funded by international donors, and then with gradually increasing state support. Since its inception, the methadone program has evolved and influenced neighboring countries in Central Asia, despite numerous political challenges. The Kyrgyz Republic has expanded access to methadone, revised clinical protocols, and increased the number of distribution sites in communities and the carceral system to ensure broader access, aiming for program sustainability. While methadone policies and implementation in the Kyrgyz Republic have advanced earlier and more expansively than in neighboring countries, some challenges persist. Based on the findings, the suggestions provided may support the sustainable scale-up of methadone programs, enabling continued growth and improvement.

In 2017, following an expansion of the evaporation with 6 to 7 effects, Cosun Beet Company Dinteloord invested in a thermocompression system to further minimize the condenser losses of the evaporation. The thermocompresssion system consisted of 4 thermocompressors of different sizes, which could cover a range of 0 to 45 t/h of vapor 3 from the evaporation section to exhaust steam conditions.
After some start-up problems in the first campaign, this investment has proven a cost-effective solution to further reduce the fluctuating condenser losses.
In this paper the concept of the flexible thermocompression, the experiences and some results are discussed.
The Impact of Social Media on Wine Tourists’ Decision‐Making Intentions: An Empirical Study Using the Elaboration Likelihood Model

Published: September 2024

Social media shapes travel, particularly wine tourism. Wine travel demands wine expertise, which many Chinese lack. This research surveyed 432 wine visitors in Ningxia, a popular wine tourism destination near Helan Mountain, China, using the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM). Descriptive
statistics assessed model construct validity, whereas Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) tested hypothetical links among theoretical components for reliability. The intervening effects of variables were examined using bootstrapping for mediation analysis. Argument quality substantially affected
wine tourists with better wine knowledge's decision‐making intents, driving perceived utility. Tourists with less wine expertise were more impacted by opinion leaders, eWOM, and source credibility, which shaped their emotional decisions. This research extends the ELM model to social
media and wine tourism and incorporates additional mediating elements like perceived utility and emotional attitude to bridge the gap between influencing factors and decision-making intents. The report also emphasizes the relevance of social media for wine tourism marketers, advocating strategic
usage to improve results.

Published: September 2024

Many cultural elements influence the consumption or not of a product, one of which is religion and ethnicity. The influence of these elements depends on the fact that a consumer is connected to the tradition, norms, and rules of the religion and ethnicity to which he belongs. Bavaria 0.0% alcohol is a product that is associated with the non-consumption of alcohol, which is an element that belongs to the Muslim religion and includes a cultural factor that can affect the consumption of this product, but it is not excluded from consumption and consumers who do not belong to the Muslim religion but do not consume alcoholic beverages. The purpose of this study is to highlight the role of culture in the consumption of Bavaria 0.0% alcohol. In the study, 286 respondents were from different areas of Albania. Some of the study’s conclusions are: the respondents mostly belong to the Muslim religion, and the most widespread ethnic community in Albania is the Albanian one. The consumption of beer with alcohol is 55.2%, and the consumer is informed at 54.5% for Bavaria 0.0% alcohol.

Published: September 2024

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ) colonizes the human stomach and many studies have discussed the mechanisms of H. pylori infection leading to gastric diseases, including gastric cancer. Additionally, increasing data have shown that the infection of H. pylori may contribute to the development of extra-gastric diseases and tumors. Inflammation, systemic immune responses, microbiome disorders, and hypergastrinemia caused by H. pylori infection are associated with many extra-gastric malignancies. This review highlights recent discoveries; discusses the relationship between H. pylori and various extra-gastric tumors, such as colorectal cancer, lung cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and gallbladder carcinoma; and explores the mechanisms of extra-gastric carcinogenesis by H. pylori . Overall, these findings refine our understanding of the pathogenic processes of H. pylori , provide guidance for the clinical treatment and management of H. pylori -related extra-gastric tumors, and help improve prognosis.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Colorectal anastomotic occlusion is a serious complication of colorectal cancer surgery. Although several treatment strategies have been proposed, the management of anastomotic occlusion remains challenging. In this report, we present a case of anastomotic occlusion recanalization performed using a novel technique involving two endoscopes, one for radial incision and the other serving as a guide light. This novel technique offers significant advantages in terms of operational feasibility, reduced invasiveness, rapid recovery, and shortened hospital stay.

CASE SUMMARY

A 37-year-old man underwent low anterior resection and prophylactic double-lumen ileostomy for rectal cancer in June, 2023. Two months later, complete anastomotic occlusion was observed on colonoscopy. Therefore, we developed a novel atresia recanalization technique. Two endoscopes were placed, one through the colonic anastomosis and the other through the anus. A radial incision was successfully made from the colonic side, guided by the light of the endoscope from the anal side. Atresia recanalization was performed within 20 minutes. Three weeks after recanalization, colonoscopy revealed that the diameter of the colorectal anastomosis was approximately 16 mm and the patient therefore underwent stoma reversal in September. During the follow-up period of approximately one year, the patient remained well and no stenosis or obstruction symptoms were observed.

CONCLUSION

Endoscopic atresia recanalization of colorectal anastomotic occlusion assisted by an opposing light source is safe and effective.
