Aim To determine the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on kidney function in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).Material and methods A controlled randomized study on the dapagliflozin treatment in ADHF was performed. Patients were randomized to a main group (standard therapy supplemented with dapagliflozin) or a control group (standard therapy for ADHF). The primary endpoint was the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). 200 patients were included (mean age, 74±12 years; 51% men). 31% of patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) was 47±14 %; in 44.5% of patients, LV EF was less than 45%. Median concentration of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was 5225 [3120; 9743] pg / ml, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 51 [38; 64] ml / min / 1.73 m2.Results In-hospital mortality was 6.5%. Analysis of the dynamics of body weight loss showed significant differences (4200 [2925; 6300] g vs. 3000 [1113; 4850] g; p=0.011) in favor of the dapagliflozin group. The requirement for increasing the daily dose of furosemide and adding an another class diuretic (thiazide or acetazolamide) did not differ between the groups. However, median furosemide dose during the stay in the hospital was lower in the dapagliflozin group (80 [67; 120] mg vs. 102 [43; 120] mg; p=0.016). At 48 hours after randomization, GFR significantly decreased in the dapagliflozin group (–5.5 [–11; 3] ml/min/ 1.73 m2) compared to the control group (–0.3 [–4; 5] ml / min/1.73 m2, р=0.012). Despite this, GFR did not differ between the groups at discharge (51 [41; 66] ml/min/1.73 m2 and 49 [38; 67] ml/min/1.73 m2, respectively; p = 0.84). In the dapagliflozin group, frequency of AKI episodes was not increased compared to the control group (13 and 9.4%, respectively; p = 0.45).Conclusion The dapagliflozin treatment in ADHF is associated with more pronounced body weight loss and lower average doses of loop diuretics during the period of stay in the hospital, with no associated clinically significant impairment of renal function.

Authors: Sadiku L , Bexheti A , Bexheti G , Bilic S 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this article is to analyze the evidence of twin deficits hypothesis by empirically examining the relationship between trade deficit and budget deficit for the case of FYR of Macedonia. The study employs a vector autoregression (VAR) model as well as a Granger causality test in order to investigate the causal relationship between trade and budget deficit variables using quarterly data for the time period 1998Q1–2017Q4. The econometric results of VAR model disclose that there exists a short term relationship between these two variables, implying that higher trade deficits are associated with higher fiscal deficits. Moreover, the causality test shows a unidirectional relationship, revealing that trade deficit causes budget deficit, whereas budget deficit doesn't cause trade deficit.

Keywords: trade deficit, budget deficit, causality analysis
Knowledge Management & Loyalty Programs: A Customer Perception Analysis, the Greek Retail Market
Authors: Malamidou K , Spyropoulos T S , Rotsios K 
Published: September 2023

The Food Retail sector in Greece is currently facing a number of challenges. From an economic point of view, the austerity programs imposed in Greece since 2010 resulted in losses of retail sales, alongside with bankruptcies and mergers of retail chains. At the same time, technological development creates an environment for innovation in terms of operations and marketing and offers new opportunities to retailers. Additionally, consumers become more involved and active in the purchasing processes. However, Greek consumers are also experiencing a dramatic decline in their disposable income. The study examines the perception of Greek consumers of several marketing efforts based on Information & Communication Technology Systems (ICT) introduced by a Greek food retailer in Northern Greece. More specifically, it investigates the relationship between ICT related marketing efforts, such as loyalty programs, and analytics regarding food control systems and purchases and consumer characteristics such as gender, age, income, status and family size. The study reveals a number of relationships between marketing efforts and consumer characteristics/segments. However, since the relationships are found to be weak, marketing managers are advised to use advanced analytics systems, such as big data technologies, in order to enhance the efficiency of their marketing strategies and approaches. The weak relationships between the parameters examined indicate that marketing efforts have to focus in several consumer sub segments in order to achieve significant results. The study’s sample population is consumers of one of the top food retailers in Greece. The findings contribute to the literature on the use of ICT on marketing strategies and the use of big data. Furthermore, they have practical implications for marketers in the retail food sector, as they reveal the need for a more focused approach to different consumer groups, in order to increase the efficiency of marketing efforts and to achieve maximum results.

Consumer Confidence Linkages Among European Union Countries: Which Countries Tend to Be Followers of Others?
Authors: Medikienė M , Dapkus M , Maditinos D 
Published: September 2023

In this study we use hierarchical cluster analysis to identify clusters in terms of consumer confidence and test the hypothesis whether Western and non-formerSoviet-Union Northern countries (Sweden, Denmark or Finland) may be “the core”, while Southern and former USSR countries may be considered as “periphery” in terms of consumer confidence (in respect with Krugman’s “core-periphery” model). Results show that consumer confidence similarities define clusters of EU countries, located in the same sub-region of Europe in cases of all Northern Europe countries and almost all Western Europe countries (excluding Netherlands, Luxembourg and Austria). We find that Southern and Central–Eastern EU countries don’t have their united, single socio–economic behaviour pattern, but rather tend to distribute to various clusters in terms of consumer confidence. Our test for hypothesis of possible “core” and “periphery” countries in terms of consumer show that some of Western and non-former-Soviet-Union Northern countries (in this case we identified Sweden, United Kingdom and Luxembourg) may be considered as “the core”, while the rest Southern and former USSR EU countries may be considered as “periphery”.

Globalization, Social Media and Public Relations: A Necessary Relationship for the Future?
Authors: Ifigeneia M , Dimitrios A 
Published: September 2023

Globalization is gradually ensuring the homogenity of all goods and services, together with social and cultural influences around the world. New technologies have affected the way that stakeholders exercise public relations. Rapid globalization has created new opportunities and challenges as well as public relations practices. In particular, the popularity of social media renders it top of the agenda for many business executives today. Savvy organizations now use social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in order to inform their public about events and new products and also gather and disseminate consumer opinions about the organization, its events and products. The aim of this paper is to investigate how social media has reshaped the exercise of public relations in the newly globalised era. Have international companies and organizations extended their existing framework to accommodate these new tools?

Authors: ÖNEÇ Birgül , KÖŞ Durdu Mehmet , ALTUN Gulsah , SUNGUR Mehmet Ali 
Published: September 2023

Objective: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant hematological disease and anemia is observed in the majority of patients. Hepcidin, Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) have been investigated in many forms of anemia, especially in chronic diseases and cancers. However, there are few studies investigating their role in MM. We aimed to determine the relationship between hepcidin, sTfR and GDF-15 levels in MM patients and their clinical features such as anemia parameters, disease stage and overall survival.
Method: Hepcidin, sTfR and GDF-15 levels, as well as clinical and anemia-related parameters, were analyzed in newly diagnosed MM patients and healthy volunteers.
Result: Although MM patients had significantly lower Hb and Hct levels compared to the control group, none of the GDF-15, hepcidin and sTfR levels showed a significant difference between the groups. Among MM patients, we found that the anemic subgroup had significantly lower hepcidin levels than the non-anemic subgroup. GDF-15, hepcidin and sTfR levels showed weak or moderate positive correlation with each other, while GDF15 was positively correlated with creatinine and sTfR levels were correlated with many parameters such as LDH, CRP, ferritin, albumin, creatinine, Hb and ISS, all of which weak. None of the levels of GDF-15, hepcidin and sTfR had a significant effect on survival.
Conclusion: We suggested that these mediators may play a role in anemia of MM but there is not a clear relashionship as in chronic disease anemia, there may be different mechanisms according to the characteristics of the patient groups.
