Authors: Viet Ha Nguyen Thi , Van Ha Nguyen 
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the bank’s corporate culture on its product innovation in Vietnam. Based on the findings, recommendations are made to improve the bank's ability to innovate. Research hypotheses were put forth based on an analysis of the literature addressing the relationship between corporate culture and innovative potential. The data was obtained from the survey conducted in 2021 with 268 participants from 18 banks in Vietnam. SPSS software was used to verify the research hypotheses. According to the empirical findings of the regression model, creative culture and leadership are the two essential elements through which corporate culture influences Vietnamese commercial banks' creative product offerings. The study’s results are expected to help bank managers use direct efforts and resources in the most effective and efficient way to encourage the bank’s product innovation. Banks in Vietnam need to focus on building a culture that fosters innovation. The leaders of a bank need to be proactive in encouraging changes and taking risks to remain relevant in the market. Moreover, fostering and raising awareness of business culture among bank staff is of utmost importance. The bank needs to have a reasonable customer policy and clearly define the bank's vision and core values and create a culture of good behavior in the bank culture. The bank's product innovation capacity would be improved by promoting these values in the workplace.

Published: April 2024

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs; apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban),) are used in the management of patients with atrial fibrillation, ischemic heart disease, venous thromboembolism, and valvular heart disease. These drugs also increase the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding from luminal sources such as ulcers or diverticula and after endoscopic procedures.1-2 Rivaroxaban is a direct competitive inhibitor of factor Xa and limits thrombin generation in a dose dependent manner.6 Although no serious bleeding was reported in the endoscopic mucosal biopsy performed under rivaroxaban in the literature. in our case, hemorrhagic shock developed due to leakage in the biopsy area as a result of antrum biopsy performed under rivaroxaban.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma comprise approximately 80 % of all thyroid cancers. It has generally a good prognosis, and distant spread is rare. Common sites of distant metastasis include lung and bone. Whatever the pleural and breast metastasis are exceedingly rare. Their presence portends a dismal prognosis and a shorter median survival.
We recently experienced a case of 60 -year-old women with pleural and breast metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. We report this case with a review of the literature.

Published: April 2024

Introduction:Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is an immune-mediated disease. The effectiveness of biologics has changed therapeutic strategies for psoriasis. We report a case of leukopenia in a patient with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who was treated with Ustekinumab.
Case presentation: A 36- year- old Syrian female presented for a follow up concerning treatment of psoriatic arthritis. She was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis according to the CASPAR criteria.
She was treated with Methotrexate, then Sulfasalazine. On presentation, the physical examination revealed tender in metacarpals, proximal interphalengal joints and distal interphalengal joints of both hands.
Laboratory analysis showed: white blood cells (WBC) :3500 /mm3, (Neut:23% n = 40-65%, Lymp:65% n= 25-40%), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR): 40 mm/h1, and C-reactive protein (CRP): 9.3 mg/L . Given the patient’s ongoing disease activity, and the presence of leukopenia, we started with Ustekinumab 45 mg subcutaneous. After the third dose of Ustekinumab, evaluation showed improvement in her peripheral arthritis and normal laboratory findings.
Discussion: Patients with psoriasis had higher total white blood cell and neutrophil. Ustekinumab has good efficacy against disease activity as well as a favourable safety profile. In literature, we found a case of myelodysplastic syndrome associated with inflammatory bowel disease treated with Ustekinumab. Another case of constitutional neutropenia and psoriasis vulgaris treated with Ustekinumab.
Conclusion: This is the first case of leukopenia associated with PsA successfully treated with Ustekinumab.
UST treatment might be recommended for leukopenia associated with PsA, but further researches are recommended.

Authors: AKGÜL Ömer 
Published: April 2024

Aim: Urinary tract infections are a common occurrence worldwide, with females being more susceptible than males. Infections can manifest as asymptomatic bacteriuria or more severe forms such as sepsis. This study aims to analyse the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes of Escherichia coli (E. coli) responsible for causing urinary tract infections.
Material and Method: Microbiological evaluation was conducted using conventional culture method, API 20E (API-bioMérieux, France), antibiotic susceptibility tests, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Results: During the study period, 145 E. coli strains were collected from 96 (66.2%) outpatients and 49 (33.8%) hospitalised patients with urinary tract infections (UTI). The resistance rates of E. coli strains to quinolone antibiotics were as follows: nalidixic acid in 102 strains (70.3%), ciprofloxacin in 96 strains (66.2%), ofloxacin in 73 strains (50.3%), gatifloxacin in 47 strains (32.4%), levofloxacin in 41 strains (28.3%) and moxifloxacin in 32 (22%) strains. Based on the PCR test results, it was found that 80% (116) of the isolates carried at least one PMQR gene. Furthermore, 31.9% (37/116) of the isolates were found to carry two or three PMQR markers simultaneously.
Discussion and Conclusion: The objective of this study was to establish the prevalence of quinolone resistance among E. coli strains isolated from patients with UTI. To control the high rate of spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, it is crucial for all healthcare facilities to implement more careful management of antibiotic use and adhere to procedures set by infection control programmes.

Podnebne spremembe med drugim vplivajo tudi na pridelavo hrane. Kakšen bo odziv relevantnih kmetijskih kultur v bodočih podnebnih razmerah širom Evrope, pa je eno izmed r vprašanj za razvoj, implementacijo in ustrezno realizacijo nove evropske kmetijske politike. V prispevku obravnavamo potencialni odziv izbranih kmetijskih kultur Evrope (pšenica [Triticum aestivum L.], koruza [Zea Mays L.], krompir [Solanum tuberosum L.] in oljka [Olea europaea L.]) v 2. polovici 21. stoletja (2070) na podnebne scenarije (RCP2.6, RCP4.5 in RCP8.5) z vidika treh značilno različnih globalnih podnebnih modelov (CC, HE in MP). S pomočjo bioklimatskih podatkov (temperaturni in padavinski razpon) za posamezno kulturo (baza ECOCROP) ter podnebnih prostorskih podatkov baze WorldClim, smo izdelali zemljevide, ki prikazujejo bodočo podnebno ustreznost za pridelavo obravnavane kmetijske kulture. Rezultati potrjujejo obstoječe domneve, da se bodo optimalni podnebni pogoji za pridelavo izbranih kmetijskih kultur, v splošnem, pomikali v smeri višje geografske širine ali nadmorske višine. Seveda pa je potencialni prostorski primik vrstno specifičen in odvisen od številnih drugih naravno- in družbeno-geografskih dejavnikov.

Published: April 2024

Svetlobno onesnaženje je ena od oblik onesnaževanja, do katere je privedla človekova želja po daljšanju svetlega dela dneva. Da svetloba v nočnem času predstavlja onesnaževanje, smo tudi v Sloveniji ugotovili že pred desetletji, vendar je stanje na tem področju, kljub Uredbi o mejnih vrednostih svetlobnega onesnaževanja, še vedno zelo zaskrbljujoče. Glavni vir le-tega je javna razsvetljava, pogosto pa so preveč in nepravilno razsvetljeni tudi različni objekti. Posledice svetlobnega onesnaževanja so astronomske, biološke, okoljske, zdravstvene in ekonomske. S pomočjo podatkov daljinskega zaznavanja, terenskih opazovanj in prostorske analize smo uspeli dokazati, da svetlobno onesnaženje na območju doline Voglajne in zgornjega Posotelja vpliva na fenofazo olistanja, tako na nivoju habitata, ki ga tvorijo mali lesni krajinski elementi, kot na nivoju vrste navadna breza (Betula pendula).
Vpliv zastirke na zadrževanje vlage v prsti
Authors: Vovk Korže Ana 
Published: April 2024

V Severovzhodni Slovenije se v zadnjih desetletjih pojavljajo pogoste suše, ki onemogočajo rast kulturnih rastlin. Z namenom, da po naravni poti povečamo vlažnost prsti, uporabljamo zastirko. Zastirka varuje prsti pred večjo izgubo vlage, zmanjša potrebe po zalivanju, preprečuje erozijo, izpiranje in zbitost, zato prsti z zastirko ni potrebno rahljati. Kjer so prsti pokrite z zastirko, je tudi manj plevela, kar ugodno vpliva na rast rastlin in zmanjša izhlapevanje iz zemlje. S terensko raziskavo smo spremljali delež vlage v prsti na travniku, njivi in gomilasti gredi in sicer v prsteh, ki so bili pokriti z zastirko in v prsteh brez zastirke. Ugotovitve kažejo, da bi lahko z uporabo zastirke pomembno povečali zadrževanje vlage v prsteh, pri čemer pa ima pomembno vlogo tudi način rabe prsti.

Detrital-zircon U-Pb and (U-Th)/He double-dating provenance signatures in the Jaca foreland basin: interplay of direct vs. recycled sources during Pyrenean orogenic growth
Authors: Coll Xavier , Gómez-Gras David , Roigé Marta , Stockli Daniel , Teixell Antonio , Boya Salvador 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
The Eocene to Miocene clastic wedge of the south Pyrenean basin constitutes a reference model to understand the progressive evolution of sediment provenance and source-to-sink dynamics in a foreland basin. We present new detrital-zircon (DZ) U-Pb and U-Pb-He (ZHe) double-dating data from the Jaca basin and the Ebro basin, providing insights into the evolution of the sedimentary systems that record a major tectonic and drainage reorganization from the late Eocene to Miocene. Three distinct DZ U-Pb signatures have been identified: i) Variscan dominated, ii) mixed Cadomian–Variscan, iii) Cadomian dominated, and two DZ ZHe signatures: i) Pyrenean dominated, ii) pre-Pyrenean dominated. Coupling DZ U-Pb, ZHe, and petrographic data allows us to discriminate among distinct Pyrenean sources as well as to understand how DZ signatures are propagated in a source-to-sink system. Our results indicate that while the eastern Jaca basin was fed from eastern source areas located in the central and eastern Pyrenees, the western Jaca basin was fed from the Basque massifs and the Urbasa–Andía Sierra (Basque–Cantabrian Pyrenees).
An Analysis of Effect Different Fracturing Fluids on the Productivity of Multi-Stage Fractured Marcellus Shale Horizontal Wells

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The objective of this study is to assess the impact of fracturing fluid type on proppant transport and productivity of hydraulic fractures in a Marcellus Shale horizontal well. The available data from Bogges-5H well including core plug measurements, well logs, and image logs were collected and analyzed to determine shale's petrophysical and geomechanical properties. Laboratory measurements and published data were analyzed to determine the adsorption characteristics and shale compressibility including its various components (fissure, matrix, hydraulic fracture). The results of the data analysis were used as input for a hydraulic fracture model and subsequently with a reservoir model in order to investigate the impact of fluid type on proppant transport and gas productivity.
The accuracy of the model was confirmed by the close match between the field and the predicted production. For the purpose of this study slickwater, high-viscosity friction reducer (HVFR), and hybrid fluid were considered for the investigation. The application of HVFR as the fracturing fluid resulted in higher fracture volume (increased fracture height) and improved productivity as compared to slickwater. Stress shadow was found to negatively impact the proppant transport, hydraulic fracture properties, and gas productivity The impact of stress shadow is more pronounced during early production due to higher production rates. The fracture treatment design in the Marcellus shale can be improved by proper fluid selection and stage spacing to mitigate the impacts of stress shadow.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
With increased commercial interest in geologic CO2 sequestration and 45Q-related activities in the United States, the Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative (MRCI) includes a pertinent evaluation of stimulation strategies for enhancing well injectivity and storage efficiency. This could open significant additional resource potential to the existing onshore storage options by leveraging several complex or seemingly ‘lower quality’ reservoirs found throughout the MRCI region that could potentially be cost-effective compared to ultra-deep targets to support carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects. This manuscript discusses innovative scenario analyses of different well configurations and operational strategies adapted from oil and gas industry practices to identify potential optimal storage solutions and their impacts on CO2 injectivity and storage efficiency. A scoping evaluation for preliminary insights into specific injection strategies in complex systems including naturally fractured reservoirs for their impacts on CO2 injectivity and storage efficiency is conducted using simplified representative sites for CO2 storage. The scoping simulations provide a framework to inform optimal storage solutions for the MRCI region that can be investigated further during the subsequent detailed design phase of analogous sites.

Abstract
Noncoplanar magnets are excellent candidates for spintronics. Particularly important are those with clear electrical transport signatures that can simplify data readout – however, such materials are difficult to find, and even more so to intentionally design. Here, we report a chemical design strategy that allowed us to find a series of new non-coplanar magnets Ln3Sn7 (Ln = Dy, Tb), by targeting layered materials that take decoupled magnetic sublattices with dissimilar single-ion anisotropies, and combining those with a square-net topological semimetal sublattice. Ln3Sn7 shows high carrier mobilities upwards of 17,000 cm2·V−1·s−1, and hosts noncoplanar magnetic order. This results in a strong and sharp Hall effect anomaly, with an anomalous Hall angle of 0.11 and Hall conductivity of over 42,000 Ω−1·cm−1, the highest value reported so far in noncoplanar magnets, and over an order of magnitude larger than the established benchmarks in Mn3Sn and Fe thin films.
Addressing the Insufficiency of Marine Outfall Regulations in Mitigating Microplastic and AMR Pollution from Wastewater Treatment

Published: April 2024

Abstract

Microplastics are found in all marine compartments, ranging from sea ice to sediments, beaches, and the open ocean, with a significant portion originating from land-based wastewater treatment plants. Policy in the South African context permits responsible disposal of wastewater through a marine outfall provided that the raw wastewater undergoes treatment and does not cause any adverse effects to the receiving body. However, a desktop study focused on regulatory framework for marine outfalls in South African coastal cities shows that partially treated (primary or preliminary treated) wastewater could be deposited into oceans. Microplastics form a considerable proportion of the wastewater mixture but also Enterobacteriaceae. To demonstrate the relevance of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) bacteria in biofilms on microplastics, this study aimed at identifying and characterizing Enterobacteriaceaeisolates from a simulated marine environment using microcosms. Experiments challenging the regulations were based on microbiology of the effluent that is discharged through an outfall. Microcosms were set up by spiking seawater with WWTP effluent and adding the sterilized collected plastic pieces. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to determine colonization on the microplastics. After 30 days of microcosm exposure, selective media and incubation conditions were used to isolate Enterobacteriaceae. Pure isolates were tested against 16 antibiotics normally used in human clinical settings. In the initial biofilms directly from microplastics from the WWTPs, several genera generally associated with wastewater treatment were isolated. Dominant species isolated and identified were Citrobacter sp., Escherichia sp., Enterobacter sp., Serratia sp., Klebsiella sp. and Pseudomonas sp.. Several isolates were resistant to carbapenems (doripenem and imipenem; 9% to 27%). Some isolates were resistant to up to ten of the antibiotics. Bacterial infections caused by Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae have become a global concern in the fight against bacterial infections. The results of the present project show that clinically relevant Enterobacteriaceae colonize microplastics and that these survive in biofilms on these microplastics surfaces. Such results suggest that more data is needed that will challenge the current policy regulating the release of sewage through marine outfalls as well as the notion that dilution of sewage is an answer to pollution.
