How Does Financial Technology Affect the Credit and Risk of Commercial Banks in China?
Authors:   Asian Trade Association, Cheng Miao
Published: April 2023

Purpose - Fintech integrates the characteristics of “finance + technology”, applying emerging technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, leading to a great challenge to existing financial service providers. With the rise in development of financial technology, Chinese fintech firms and online payments including third-party and mobile payments systems have attracted worldwide attention. Therefore, this paper aims to study the potential impact of financial technology on the traditional credit business of the banking sector from the perspectives of credit expansion and risk-sharing. Moreover, this study also explores how fintech influences Chinese commercial banks with the moderating effect of corporate governance.
Design/Methodology/Approach - The study used a firm-level panel data of 34 Chinese banks over a period of 10 years from 2011 to 2020. The study applies a fixed regression method for hypotheses examining the relationship between fintech development and the credit supply and risk-taking of commercial banks.
Findings - The results indicate that the development of fintech has significant impacts on the scale of credit loan and the level of risk bearing. Further research finds that board independence as a moderator positively and significantly influences fintech and bank credit loan scales, while board independence positively but insignificantly affects fintech and risk control in the banking sector.
Research Implications - This paper enriches our understanding of the impacts of fintech on traditional financial institutions, and provides a new method for the operations of the banking sector. In addition, this paper provides a new research perspective for managers, especially in Chinese banking, to expand credit business under the moderating role of corporate governance mechanism.
Corporate Liquidity Risk: A Case Study on the Evergrande Group in China
Authors:   Asian Trade Association, Gao Wenxuan
Published: April 2023

Purpose - Given that China Evergrande Group has recently been caught in a liquidity risk, the purpose of this study is to identify and assess its liquidity using traditional financial indexes. We analyze the reasons for the liquidity risk exposures, so as to provide practical implications for real estate companies.
Design/Methodology/Approach - This study combines the principal-agent and the trade-off theories in order to analyze China Evergrande Group’s exposure to liquidity risk under the leverage effect. In addition, China Evergrande Group’s financial position is analyzed in depth, and its liquidity risk is defined and identified.
Findings - The results show that under the high leverage effect, the company suffers from a high liquidity risk, and eventually falls into a financial crisis due to the shortage of cash for short-term debt accumulated in previous periods, and the long delay in returns on property sales.
Research Implications - This study provides a new perspective for debt research by examining the leverage and liquidity risk of real estate-related enterprises. During the golden era of the real estate industry, real estate enterprises should uphold the principle of moderation in debt management, make reasonable use of financial leverage, clarify the strategic goal of diversification, and avoid credit risk.

Purpose - This study aimed to valuate a pre-revenue software startup in the Philippines by applying various valuation tools. Also, it aimed to verify these tools’ advantages and disadvantages in the context of a pre-revenue startup.
Design/Methodology/Approach - The study employed a case study approach. Valuation methods used were the Venture Capital Method, Chicago Method, Development Milestone Method, and Cayenne Consulting Calculator. In performing these methods, quantitative and qualitative data were used. Such data were mostly provided and validated by the company’s executive management or offices.
Findings - Based on the comparisons made among the pre-revenue valuation methods, the Chicago Method is determined to be the most recommended method. This method considered various factors relating to where the company is currently, and weighed different scenarios the in which the company could be.
Research Implications - Further research on possible strategies for the startup’s sustainability and survivability is recommended. Such strategies may include further evaluating and recalibrating operations, and sourcing capital from angel investors.
Investment Value of an Internet Company in China: A Case Study of Tencent Holdings Company
Authors:   Asian Trade Association, Xiong Xiao
Published: April 2023

Purpose - Traditional industries can usually be estimated and analyzed from multiple angles, such as the balance sheet. However, the proportion of other intangible assets in valuations is high and cannot be reflected in the balance sheet in Internet companies. Therefore, through various valuation methods to study and evaluate the investment value of the stock of Internet industry listed companies, finding heavily investing listed companies in the Internet industry has important practical significance.
Design/Methodology/Approach - Starting from the theory of value investment, combined with financial analysis methods and valuation analysis methods, the study analyzes the company’s business, finances, and valuation to achieve the purpose of correcting the company’s stock investment.
Findings - The value of Tencent, which we calculated through the PE valuation method and the branch valuation method, is close to the average stock price of Tencent in the past years, indicating that in the long run, the market is relatively rational. The value of the current stock price is lower than our valuation, explaining that the current market price is at a relatively underestimated level, and it has certain investment value.
Research Implications - This study adopts the PE and the branch valuation methods, making the stock value research method more objective, more scientific, and rigorous to help investors maximize information effectiveness, and make rational judgments to find investment opportunities or investment risks earlier.

Cross-reactive cellular and humoral immunity can substantially
contribute to antiviral defense against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern
(VOC). While the adult SARS-CoV-2 cellular and humoral immunity and its
cross-recognition potential against VOC is broadly analyzed, similar
data regarding the pediatric population are missing. In this study, we
perform an analysis of the humoral and cellular SARS-CoV-2 response
immune of 32 convalescent COVID-19 children (children), 27 convalescent
vaccinated adults(C+V+) and 7 unvaccinated convalescent adults (C+V-).
SARS-CoV-2 reactive T cell response is analyzed via multiparametric
flowcytometry and humoral immunity is addressed via pseudovirus
neutralization assay. Similarly to adults, a significant loss of
neutralizing capacity against delta and omicron VOC was observed 6
months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. While SAR-CoV-2 neutralizing capacity
was comparable among children and C+V- against all VOC, children
demonstrated as expected an inferior humoral response when compared to
C+V+. Nevertheless, children generated SARS-CoV-2 reactive T cells with
broad cross-recognition potential. When compared to V+C+, children
presented even comparable frequencies of WT-reactive CD4+ and CD8+ T
cells with high avidity. Our results suggest that following SARS-CoV-2
infection children generate a humoral SARS-CoV-2 response with
neutralizing potential comparable to unvaccinated COVID-19 convalescent
adults as well a sustained SARS-CoV-2 cellular response cross-reactive
to VOC.

Published: April 2023

Uncapped copper oxide nanorods (CuOnrs), capped with
cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB-CuOnrs), and polyvinyl pyrrolidine
(PVP-CuOnrs) were utilized for the interaction study of the carbamate
(Aldicarb (A.D.)) and organophosphate (Chlorpyrifos (C.P.)) pesticides.
These nanorods were synthesized using the co-precipitation method,
followed by calcination at 350 C for 2 hr. X-ray
diffraction study confirmed the monoclinic structure of the CuOnrs
without any impurities with average crystallite size in the range of
10-12 nm. Field emission scanning and transmission electron microscopy
(FE-SEM & TEM) studies confirmed the nanocrystalline structure of
CuOnrs, CTAB-CuOnrs, and PVP-CuOnrs having rod-like structures. The
contact angle study showed the hydrophilic nature of the uncapped CuOnrs
and PVP-CuOnrs with a contact angle of 51 & 57
, respectively. While CTAB-CuOnrs exhibited
hydrophobic nature with a contact angle of more than 90
. Interaction study of CuOnrs, CTAB-CuOnrs, and
PVP-CuOnrs with A.D. and C.P was conducted using U.V.- vis absorption
study (in the 250 - 400 nm region). Uncapped CuOnrs have shown the
specific detection with A.D., while CTAB-CuOnrs have shown with C.P.
without using any bio-recognition elements. PVP-CuOnrs did not show
systematic change with both pesticides confirming the capping
agent-dependent specific interaction of the pesticides.
A Novel CircRNA Circ_0001722 Regulates Proliferation and Invasion of Osteosarcoma Cells Through Targeting miR-204-5p/RUNX2 Axis
Authors: Gong Shuai , Zhang Yi , Pang Lina , Wang Liye , He Wei
Published: April 2023

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most prevalent primary fatal bone neoplasm in
adolescents and children owing to limited therapeutic methods. Circular
RNAs (circRNAs) are identified as vital regulators in a variety of
cancers. However, the role of circRNAs in OS are still unclear. In our
study, we evaluate the differentially expressed circRNAs in 3 paired OS
and corresponding adjacent nontumor tissue samples by circRNA microarray
assay, finding a novel circRNA, circ_001722, significantly upregulated
in OS tissues and cells. Then we show that downregulation of
circ_0001722 can suppress proliferation and invasion of human OS cells
in vitro and in vivo. Computational algorithms predict miR-204-5p can
bind with circ_0001722 and RUNX2 mRNA 3’UTR, which is verified by
Dual-luciferase assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. Further
functional experiments show that circ_0001722 competitively binds to
miR-873-3p and prevents it to decrease the level of RUNX2, which
upregulates proliferation and invasion of human OS cells. In summary,
our research firstly show that circ_001722 promotes the progression of
OS via miR-204-5p/RUNX2 axis.
Malpils Manor: architecture, cultural and historical developments. Second half of the 18th century – first quarter of the 21st century
Authors: Zilgalvis Janis
Published: April 2023

The history of construction of the Malpils Manor (Lemburg), which is closely linked to cultural history, has developed over a long period of time – from the second half of the 18th century to the present day. It has seen its heyday and its down times, when it was burnt down and destroyed. However, its fate was not sealed to disappear from the face of the earth, as has happened to many similar buildings in other Latvian manors. The manor house has blossomed again in all its glory, and is awaiting everyone who wants to spend some time in a well-tended historic and truly noble environment. However, the study of the manor in its broad cultural and historical context is still relevant.
See no isotropy, hear no isotropy: Perceived distance anisotropy in auditory space
Authors: Soskic Andjela , Stublincevic Marija , Toskovic Oliver
Published: April 2023

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the tendency to perceive vertical distances as larger than horizontal ones, called the anisotropy of perceived distance, exists in the auditory modality, too. We performed two experiments in which participants (16+20) had a task to match distances of two sound sources, positioned on horizontal and vertical axes, on three egocentric distances. Besides that, in the second experiment, we varied the head moving towards a sound source (with and without) and sound dispersion around the head (with or without a box-like frame around the head). Results showed that participants managed to differentiate sound source distances, but the effects of head moving (proprioceptive information) and sound dispersion around the head were not obtained. Finally, results showed differences in matched distances between two directions. Distances of the vertical sound source were systematically perceived as larger than physically equal horizontal ones, which coincide with findings from previous studies, related to visual or proprioceptive distance estimates.
Autophagy and regulation of aquaporins in the kidneys
Authors: Guo Xiangdong , Kong Yonglun , Kwon Tae-Hwan , Li Chunling , Wang Weidong
Published: April 2023

Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channel proteins that facilitate the transport of water molecules across cell membranes. To date, seven AQPs have been found to be expressed in mammal kidneys. The cellular localization and regulation of the transport properties of AQPs in the kidney have been widely investigated. Autophagy is known as a highly conserved lysosomal pathway, which degrades cytoplasmic components. Through basal autophagy, kidney cells maintain their functions and structure. As a part of the adaptive responses of the kidney, autophagy may be altered in response to stress conditions. Recent studies revealed that autophagic degradation of AQP2 in the kidney collecting ducts leads to impaired urine concentration in animal models with polyuria. Therefore, the modulation of autophagy could be a therapeutic approach to treat water balance disorders. However, as autophagy is either protective or deleterious, it is crucial to establish an optimal condition and therapeutic window where autophagy induction or inhibition could yield beneficial effects. Further studies are needed to understand both the regulation of autophagy and the interaction between AQPs and autophagy in the kidneys in renal diseases, including nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

BACKGROUND Today, one of the urgent problems of emergency vascular surgery is the high mortality rate in acute ischemia of the lower extremities in elderly and senile patients.

AIM OF STUDY To evaluate the incidence of complications in elderly and senile patients with acute ischemia of the lower extremities of embologenic origin.

MATERIAL AND METHODS As an object of study, three groups of elderly and senile patients admitted with a clinical picture of acute ischemia of the lower extremities were studied. Group I — patients who underwent reconstructive interventions in the scope of the so-called proximal reconstruction; group II — patients who, for the purpose of complete revascularization, underwent extended reconstructive interventions using an additional surgical approach; group III — patients who underwent a “classic” embolectomy.

RESULTS Good results were statistically significantly more common in group II. Satisfactory and poor results were observed in group III. Amputations were statistically significantly more common in group III. In 69.6% of cases, the use of plasmapheresis and infusion therapy prevented the development of acute renal injury.

CONCLUSION Performing extended arterial reconstructions, including using an additional surgical approach, makes it possible to more fully restore the main blood flow in the ischemic limb and thereby completely restore the main blood flow in the ischemic limb and reduce the degree of ischemia, as well as reduce the severity of the manifestation and course of the post-ischemic syndrome.

BACKGROUND This review is devoted to the analysis of the features of the immune response in COVID-19. The review indicates the clinical manifestations of COVID-19, modern data on the immunopathogenesis of the disease and its complications are considered.

Aim of STUDY To clarify some pathogenetic mechanisms of the immune response in COVID-19, which can help in creating an algorithm for examining patients for early prognosis and prevention of severe course and complications of the disease.

MATERIAL AND METHODS To achieve this goal, the results of domestic and foreign scientific studies on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 were analyzed. The literature search was carried out in electronic search engines Scopus and PubMed. For the analysis, scientific articles published in the period from 2019 to 2021 were selected; 88% of analyzed works are not older than 5 years.

CONCLUSION The late production of type I IFN, an increase in the level of pro-inflammatory monocytes, a decrease in the expression of HLA-DR on monocytes, violation of the presentation of the virus and the formation of specific lymphocytes, the death of T-lymphocytes and profound immunosuppression are of greatest importance for the development of a severe form of COVID-19.

BACKGROUND Acute proximal aortic dissection (Stanford type A) remains the most common fatal pathology of the thoracic aorta. Despite the improvement of surgical technologies, hospital mortality after emergency surgical interventions is 17–25%, in complicated cases it can reach 80–90%.

AIM OF STUDY Description of the perioperative treatment tactics adopted at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine as well as the evolution of approaches that make it possible to obtain satisfactory hospital and long-term results in the treatment of aortic dissection.

MATERIAL AND METHODS the study included 278 patients operated on from 2015 to 2021 in the acute stage of aortic dissection (less than 48 hours from the moment of manifestation of the disease). The operated patients were divided into two groups, depending on the presence of complicated forms: group A, 102 patients with uncomplicated course of the disease; group B, 176 patients with complicated course of the disease. Additionally, patients were divided depending on the level of distal reconstruction performed: group I, 83 patients, surgery was limited to prosthetics of the ascending aorta, without removing the clamp; group II, 137 patients who underwent hemi-arch surgery; group III, 58 patients, with distal reconstruction involving the aortic arch.

RESULTS Total hospital mortality was 28.1%: 25.3% in group I, 29.1% in group II, 29.3% in group III. In the group of uncomplicated dissection, postoperative mortality was 18.6%, while in the group of complicated dissection it was 33.5%.

CONCLUSION An integrated multidisciplinary approach with the formation of an “aortic team”, an individual approach to surgery, depending on the anatomy of the dissection and the clinical status of the patient, will improve the results of the treatment of acute aortic dissection, as the most severe and multiple organ pathology of the aorta.

FINDING 1. Hospital mortality of complicated forms of dissection remains significantly higher — 33.5% versus 18.5% of uncomplicated course. 2. The most optimal method of distal reconstruction in patients with the peracute stage of dissection is an open anastomosis with the aorta using the “hemi-arch” technique. 3. If it is necessary to extend the surgical intervention on the aortic arch, a distal anastomosis in areas 0, 1, 2 with the possibility of a subsequent endovascular stage is the priority.

Published: April 2023

The study was conducted in the Thoracoabdominal Department of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine to explore the role of paravertebral block in the treatment of blunt chest trauma. The study included 715 patients with isolated chest trauma hospitalized between January 1, 2020 and August 2021. 55 patients received analgesic therapy in the form of paravertebral block. The comparison group included 660 patients who did not undergo paravertebral block, in their case pain relief was provided by systemic administration of analgesics. The compared groups did not differ significantly in sex and age composition. There were also no differences in the frequency of chronic diseases and interpleural complications. There were no significant complications during the block. The comparison revealed a significant decrease in the incidence of pleurisy and a shorter length of stay in hospital. Paravertebral block is an effective and safe method of pain management for patients with blunt chest trauma. The use of this technique reduces the incidence of post-traumatic pleurisy and duration of hospitalization.
Adrenal Dysfunction Caused by a Critical Condition During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Currently, the assessment of adrenal dysfunction in critically ill patients and ways to correct adrenal dysfunction with hormone replacement therapy are extremely difficult. The results of the Cochrane meta-analysis “Corticosteroids for treating sepsis” showed that survival was higher among patients with respiratory distress syndrome and septic shock who received glucocorticoids (mainly hydrocortisone) for a long course and at low doses. These results are in very good agreement with the concept of critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) development in the subacute and chronic stages of a critical condition and the need to prescribe glucocorticoid replacement therapy in this situation. International guidelines for the treatment of sepsis and septic shock for 2016 suggest avoiding the use of hydrocortisone in patients who developed sepsis. Only the development of septic shock, and the persisting instability of hemodynamics against the background of achieving normovolemia and high doses of vasopressors, are the indication for the use of hydrocortisone 200 mg intravenously. In 2021, revised guidelines approved the administration of hydrocortisone to patients in septic shock without waiting for an adequate fluid loading to be achieved. In contrast to these recommendations, the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, in their recommendations for 2017, suggest for adrenal dysfunction caused by a critical condition in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia and circulatory arrest the use of hydrocortisone in the early stages, before the development of multiple organ failure. The existing guidelines do not consider the use of hydrocortisone in critical conditions during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The timing of hydrocortisone administration to critically ill patients requiring ECMO, and the duration of this therapy are currently a topical issue for intensive care specialists. To ensure the completeness of the list of references for compiling a systematic review in the databases MEDLINE, PubMed, MeSH, eLibrary.EN a search was performed for matches, by keywords, and phrases, the roots of keywords, taking into account possible word forms, by the first two hundred relevant links, in case there were so many links. The exclusion criterion was “the use of synthetic glucocorticoids”.

Published: April 2023

Gundala is an Indonesian superhero character created by a comic artist from Yogyakarta named Hasmi in 1969. The author's social background makes Gundala thick with Javanese cultural values. In 2019, Gundala was retold by the duet of Is Yuniarto and Sweta Kartika in the title Gundala Son of Lightning (GSOL). The two comic artists came from Surabaya and Kebumen. This study aims to find the value of heroism in the Gundala version (GSOL) according to Serat Wedhatama. This research uses the theory of literary sociology and uses descriptive qualitative methods. The results showed that there is a new version of Gundala's heroic value which is reflected through being willing to sacrifice, humble and soothing the hearts of others, willing to lose, and patient. The conclusion is that although the character Gundala was created by a comic artist who is different from the original version, the value of Javanese culture, in this case the value of heroism, is still strongly possessed by this character.

This study aims to reveal lexical semantic errors in the translation of Arabic story texts by students of SMA Al-Aziz Islamic Boarding School (IBS) Bandung. Analysis was carried out on translation errors found in the semantic aspect which are called semantic errors. Many semantic errors were found in the translation of Arabic into Indonesian by previous studies, but there were less of specifications. Semantic errors focus on the use of meaning that is not by the intent in the source language. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods and error analysis techniques. The error description was based on James' theory (2013) which resulted in the discovery of 65 semantic errors which were divided into two categories, confusion of sense relation and collocation errors. This research is expected to be a reference for developing students' translation skills. Keywords: Error analysis, Semantic error, Translation

Published: April 2023

Objectives: Age-specific information regarding myocarditis/pericarditis in adolescents following mRNA-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in Asia remains insufficient. This study investigated the incidence and clinical characteristics of myocarditis/pericarditis in Republic of Korea adolescents after mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination.Methods: This retrospective descriptive study utilized patient data from the Korea Immunization Management System. Incidence rates were calculated according to age and sex. Clinical characteristics (symptoms/signs, laboratory values, and imaging results) were compared between mild and severe cases.Results: Between July 19, 2021 and September 30, 2022, 3,728,224 individuals aged 12 to 19 years received 6,484,165 mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, and 173 cases met the case definition for myocarditis/pericarditis: 151 mild (87.3%) and 22 severe (12.7%). The incidence was 3.8-fold higher in males than in females. Troponin I/ troponin T was elevated in 96% of myocarditis cases, demonstrating higher sensitivity than creatine kinase-myocardial band (67.6%) or C-reactive protein (75.2%). ST-segment or Twave on electrography abnormalities were found in 60.3% (85/141). Paroxysmal/sustained atrial/ventricular arrhythmias were more common in severe than in mild cases (45.5% vs. 16.8%, p=0.008). Edema on T2-weighted magnetic imaging occurred in 21.6% (8/37) and 62.5% (5/8) of mild and severe cases, respectively (p=0.03). Abnormal pericardial fluid collection or pericardial inflammation was found in 75.4% of pericarditis cases (49/65).Conclusion: Myocarditis/pericarditis occurred in rare cases following mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination. Most cases were mild, but the incidence was higher in adolescent males and after the second dose. As bivalent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 mRNA vaccination started in Republic of Korea in October 2022, the post-vaccination incidence of myocarditis/pericarditis should be closely monitored, considering clinical characteristics.

Prevalensi diabetes yang tinggi di Indonesia menjadikannya komorbiditas yang sangat berpengaruh pada pasien dengan COVID-19. Orang tua dan orang-orang pada segala umur yang memiliki kondisi penyakit penyerta seperti diabetes, menunjukan prognosis yang buruk. Pasien diabetes memiliki peningkatan secara tingkat komorbiditas dan mortalitas yang berhubungan dengan manajemen rawat inap dan ICU. Program Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini berupaya untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan penyandang diabetes melitus pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Kegiatan dilakukan pada pengunjung Rumah Sakit AMC, Cileunyi, Jawa Barat.  Melalui hasil pre-test dan post-test yang dilakukan pada pengunjung Rumah Sakit AMC pada saat kegiatan berlangsung, dari total 10 poin, peningkatan hanya terjadi sebesar 1.9% dari rerata 6.26 poin menjadi 6.38. Temuan ini menunjukkan pengunjung Rumah Sakit AMC masih tidak acuh untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan penyakit diabetes melitus pada masa pandemi COVID-19 sehingga diperlukannya penyuluhan yang lebih repetitif dan personal sehingga pengunjung Rumah Sakit AMC dapat memahami pentingnya mengetahui diabetes melitus dan upaya modifikasi faktor risiko penyakit diabetes melitus pada masa pandemi COVID-19.

Published: April 2023

Artikel ini membahas hasil pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dalam bentuk workshop pengembangan desain kurikulum Ilmu Politik dalam konteks Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka. Pemberlakuan Permendikbud No. 3 Tahun 2020 tentang Standar Nasional Pendidikan Tinggi mendorong Program Studi untuk meninjau kembali kurikulumnya agar memenuhi standar nasional, termasuk juga dalam hal standar proses pembelajaran. Kebijakan Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka merupakan dasar hukum bagi penyelenggaraan pembelajaran di luar Program Studi, yang bertujuan agar mahasiswa memperoleh pengalaman empirik yang dapat melengkapi proses perkuliahan di dalam Program Studinya. Tetapi, penjabaran dan adaptasi kebijakan ini dalam struktur kurikulum Program Studi masih menghadapi sejumlah permasalahan, antara lain terkait dengan pengaturan proporsi mata kuliah, Satuan Kredit Semester, dan konversi atau pengakuan aktivitas mahasiswa di luar kampus ke dalam Satuan Kredit Semester. Workshop yang diselenggarakan bersama dengan Asosiasi Program Studi Ilmu Politik Indonesia ini menyimpulkan bahwa desain kurikulum dalam konteks Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka ini dapat menjadi peluang untuk menguatkan keunggulan Program Studi. Upaya ini perlu diimbangi dengan penguatan jejaring dan kerja sama antarlembaga agar keunggulan tersebut juga mendapat pengakuan secara nasional maupun internasional.This article discusses the results of the implementation of community service activities in the form of a Political Science curriculum design development workshop in the context of Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (Independent Learning-Independent Campus). Enactment of Permendikbud No. 3 of 2020 concerning National Standards for Higher Education encourages study programs to review their curriculum to meet national standards, including in terms of standard learning processes. The Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka's policy is the legal basis for the implementation of learning held outside the study program, which aims to provide students with empirical experience that can complement the lecture process in their study program. However, the elaboration and adaptation of this policy in the curriculum structure of the study program still face a number of problems, including those related to setting the proportion of courses, semester credit units, and the conversion or recognition of student activities outside the campus into semester credit units. The workshop, which was held together with the Association of Indonesian Political Science Study Programs, concluded that the curriculum design in the context of the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka could be an opportunity to strengthen the excellence of the study program. This effort needs to be balanced with strengthening networks and inter-institutional cooperation so that these advantages can also be recognized nationally and internationally.
Key quality control aspects about cannabinoid-rich hemp products that a veterinarian needs to know: a practitioner’s guide
Authors: Henion Jack , Evans Stacey , Wakshlag Joseph J.
Published: April 2023

There is considerable confusion in the veterinary profession surrounding the rise in hemp cannabidiol-based animal products and what veterinarians should know before discussing these products with clients. There is emerging evidence for the potential use in case management across many veterinary indications; however, the cannabinoid concentrations and whether these are isolated cannabinoids or whole hemp extracts is difficult to elucidate, even from the published papers. Much like any extract from a plant, there are multiple considerations including quality control, pharmacokinetics in the intended species, microbiological and chemical contamination, and product consistency—all aspects that should be considered before a conversation can begin with a client. The aim of this review is to help practitioners make informed decisions and better facilitate discussions with clients for companion animals kept as pets. This review will not address food animal issues, as established withholding times have yet to be fully researched.
Continuous surveillance and viral discovery in animals and humans are a core component of a one-health approach to address recent viral reverse zoonoses
Authors: Kibenge Frederick S. B.
Published: April 2023

Contemporary human and animal viruses have a broad or narrow host range—those with a broad host range are potentially transmitted from animals to humans (ie, zoonosis) or humans to animals (ie, reverse zoonosis). This Currents in One Health article reviews the recent reverse zoonoses involving Coronaviridae, Poxviridae, arboviruses, and, for nonhuman primate species, the human respiratory viruses. The prevention and control of reverse zoonoses are also reviewed. Coronaviruses continue to emerge as new zoonotic agents, including a canine coronavirus, CCoV-HuPn-2018, circulating in people at low levels, and a pangolin coronavirus, MjHKU4r-CoV-1, circulating in Malayan pangolins. Moreover, the risk for SARS-CoV-2 variants to mutate in animal reservoirs and reinfect humans is ongoing. In the case of mpox, the risk of reverse zoonosis is low and there are vaccines for use in humans at risk. The situation with arboviruses is as varied as the number of human arboviruses, and only yellow fever virus and dengue virus have licensed vaccines in the Americas. As for reverse zoonoses in endangered species, solutions require changing human behavior and policies at all levels impacting wildlife. Overall, continuous surveillance and viral discovery in humans and animals remain core components of a one-health approach to reduce and, where possible, eliminate zoonotic and reverse zoonotic diseases. Viral zoonosis and viral reverse zoonosis focusing on recent influenza A virus disease events in humans and other species are the subjects of the companion Currents in One Health by Kibenge, AJVR, June 2023.
Meloidogyne paramali n. sp. (Nematoda: Meloidogyninae) and First Report of M. marylandi in maple and yacca tree from Japan

Published: April 2023

Meloidogyne paramali n. sp. was detected from Japanese maple trees (Acer palmatum) from Chiba, Japan during quarantine inspections in China. This species is characterized by second-stage juveniles (J2) with short tail length 32.2 (24–36.8) μm, finely rounded to broadly pointed tail terminus with extremely short hyaline tail terminus 4.3 (3.0–4.9) μm; perineal patterns of females characterized by an oval or irregular appearance, with round and low dorsal arch, and fine and smooth striae. M. paramali n. sp. is very similar to M. mali in that the perineal pattern has fine, smooth striae and both J2 have a short tail, but it can be distinguished from the latter by perineal pattern of the female (lateral field distinct vs. indistinct), shorter J2 hyaline tail terminus (4.3 [3.0–4.9] μm vs. 8.2 [4.8–12.7] μm, and by J2 tail with finely rounded to broadly pointed tail terminus, never sharply pointed vs. finely rounded and almost pointed. The polytomous key codes of the new species are as follows: Female: A21, B2, C32, D4; Male: A21, B3, C2, D1, E2, F2; J2: A2, B23, C43, D34, E12, F34. Detailed phylogenetic analysis based on partial 18S, ITS, D2-D3 28S, and partial mtCOI sequences also confirmed it as a new species, which is very close to M. mali and M. vitis and forms molecular group VIII. M. marylandi and other Meloidogyne species detected from plants from Japan in China are also discussed.
