A Role of Thyroid Hormones in Acute Myocardial Infarction: An Update
Authors: Jafar Tassadaq Hussain , Rasool Rabia , Unar Ahsanullah , Chanihoon Ghulam Qadir , Mubeen Bismillah 
Published: June 2022

Abstract:
The acute coronary syndrome is one of the commonest life-threatening illnesses. It encompasses
the clinical spectrum of acute myocardial ischemia and includes unstable angina and
acute myocardial infarction both with and without ST segment elevation. The acute coronary syndrome
can be attributed to a significant hemodynamic insult that leads to atherosclerosis of the epicardial
coronary arteries. The main causative risk factors, such as obesity, smoking, and alcohol
intake, increase the burden of acute coronary syndrome. Owing to an increase in the utilization of
antioxidants, the antioxidant capacity decreases concerning the scavenging of lipid peroxides.
Moreover, the thyroid hormones are important regulators of the expression of cardiac genes, and
many of the cardiac manifestations of thyroid dysfunction are associated with alterations in triiodothyronine-
mediated gene expression. Cardiovascular signs and symptoms of thyroid disease are
among the most acute clinically relevant findings that occur in combination with both hypothyroidism
and hyperthyroidism. By understanding the cellular mechanism of the action of thyroid hormones
on the heart and cardiovascular system, it is possible to explain rhythm disturbances and alterations
in cardiac output, blood pressure, cardiac contractility, and vascular resistance that result
from thyroid dysfunction. Oxidative stress is thereby induced, together with a decrease in antioxidant
capacity for overcoming oxidative stress, which leads to endothelial dysfunction, subsequent
atherosclerosis, and, ultimately, acute myocardial infarction. The implications for the identification
of the effects of thyroid disease on acute myocardial infarction include the observation that restoration
of normal thyroid function repeatedly reverses abnormalities in cardiovascular hemodynamics.

Published: June 2022

Introduction:
Paragangliomas are tumors of neuroendocrine origin, may appear in different
localizations, and are related to the autonomic nervous system. Paragangliomas are generally asymptomatic
and may rarely appear with adrenergic symptoms, and clinical findings depend on the catecholamines
they secrete. Extra-adrenal paragangliomas are mostly benign, like all paragangliomas.
Malignancy criteria consist of local recurrence, metastasis after total resection, and presence of distant
metastasis during primary diagnosis.

Case Presentation:
This report presents the case of a 31-year-old man with jugular paraganglioma,
multiple skeletal metastases, and a long-segment tumor thrombus. Imaging procedures showed a continuous
tumor thrombus extending from the posterior fossa to the right atrium and metastases in C2,
T1, T6, T8, L5, and right humerus. Histopathological assessment of the metastasis in C2 identified
malignant paraganglioma. Curative surgery was not an option for this patient, hence combined chemotherapy
was given.

Conclusion:
In cases of malignant paraganglioma with multiple distant metastases, chemotherapy and
radiotherapy are feasible treatment methods.

Published: June 2022

Aims:
This work uses the MACE method to synthesize SiNWs- NiNPs/NiONPs to degrade organic pollutants by photocatalysis.

Background:
Photocatalytic degradation has been applied as an attractive solution to remove several organic pollutants. Heterostructured nanomaterials have become an interesting platform for investigation. Metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) stands out as a promising technique because it is simple, low cost, and fast.

Objective:
Attain the degradation of methyl orange (MO) in the presence of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) in heterojunction with Nickel/Nickel Oxide nanoparticles (NiNPs-NiONPs).

Methods:
SiNWs were synthesized by metal (Ag) assisted chemical etching (MACE) of monocrystalline silicon wafers. NiNPs were non-electrolytically deposited on the SiNWs (electroless method). The morphology of the SiNWs- NiNPs/NiONPs was observed by SEM.

Results:
Heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (C14H14N3NaO3S) in an aqueous solution at a concentration of 20 ppm had an efficiency of 66.5% after 180 min under UV irradiation. The MO degradation percentage was determined using UV-visible spectrophotometry.

Conclusion:
The SiNWs-NiNPs/NiONPs were obtained composed mainly of Si covered by SiO2 decorated on the tips with Ni (II) in the form of NiO and a small amount of nickel metal. The removal efficiency obtained at 180 min of light exposure was 66.5%. After the photocatalysis tests, further oxidation of the NiNPS into NiONPS, was attributed to the reactive oxygen species in the aqueous medium based on the changes of the oxygen and Ni2p3/2 peaks by XPS.

Other:
Through XPS, the oxidation state of the SiNWs- NiNPs/NiONPs was analyzed.

Background:
The international health emergency caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which, at the end of 2019, hit the world, forced the govern-ments of all countries to adopt stringent restrictive measures to contain the spread of the virus. Sever-al studies have revealed worsening levels of anxiety, depression and perceived stress related to these restrictions and the resulting lifestyle changes. Some studies have also confirmed the presence of a re-lationship between SARS-CoV-2-related emotional distress and drinking behavior. Indeed, is a well-known fact that alcohol consumption is one of the behavioral strategies used to reduce negative emo-tional states. However, it was documented that young people developed different responses to alcohol use during the pandemic than adults.

Objective:
The aim of this work was to investigate the consumption habits of young Italians and how the consumption and purchase of alcoholic beverages have changed following the pandemic. New ways of drinking alcohol were also interesting to observe, such as online.

Methods:
Young people between 18 and 35 years old were subjected to an anonymous questionnaire of 22 questions on the adoption of forms of behavior at risk through alcohol consumption, the quanti-ty and occasions of preferential consumption, and on the methods and quantities of alcoholic bever-age purchase, before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The subjects who declared themselves "non-drinkers" were not included in the statistical survey.

Results:
About 33% of the enrolled "drinkers" (268/823), adopted risky forms of alcoholic behavior. Males reported a higher average habit of drinking wine or alcohol (M = 1.9953 ± 1.39743, F = 1.7373 ± 1.36688, p <0.005); an increased frequency of drinking (M = 2.3025 ± 0.80610 F = 2.0494 ± 0.75043 p <0.001); a higher average number of drinks consumed (M = 1.5182 ± 0.85646, F = 1.2618 ± 0.53292, p <0.001) and binge drinking to the greatest extent (M = 1.1933 ± 0.96522 F = 0.8176 ± 0.85446 p <0.001). Education and employment were significantly correlated with the frequency of al-cohol consumption (r = 0.107 p <0.005 and r = 0.120 p = 0.001 respectively). Subjects reported buy-ing alcoholic beverages during the pandemic with a frequency of "less than once a month" (N = 291, 35.36%) and mainly in shops (N = 556, 67.56%), while before the pandemic they mainly bought al-cohol once a week (N = 431, 52.37%) and predominantly in bars / clubs (N = 619, 75.21%). New ways of drinking alcohol such as online drinking, have not been significantly identified.

Conclusion:
A change in alcohol consumed and alcohol purchased before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was revealed.

Authors: Kumar Manish , Rani Radha , Verma Ravinder , Gupta Pravin , Kumari Beena , Pahwa Rakesh , Mittal Vineet , Bhatt Shailendra , Kaushik Deepak 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Microspheres are controlled drug delivery systems (CDDS) because they have the potential to encapsulate various drugs, nucleic acids, and proteins. Their benefits include biocompatiblity, greater bioavailability, and controlled release. Presently, existing antiulcer agents suffer from severe side effects which restricted their utility and encouraged the requirement of a harmless and proficient new antiulcer agent. The rationale of the present research work was to absorb the drug in the stomach for better antiulcer potential and fewer side effects.

Objective:
The rationale of the current investigational effort is to prepare and examine floating microspheres using berberine hydrochloride to increase gastric retention without interaction with the mucosa inside the stomach.

Methods:
The capillary extrusion technique was used with the aid of chitosan, a polymer in addition to sodium lauryl sulphate, a crosslinking agent. Scanning electron microscopy characterized the surface morphology of the prepared microspheres. The effects of polymeric concentration as well as the concentration of cross-link agent on percent yield, in vitro floating behavior, and in vitro drug release were efficiently assessed.

Results:
Diffusion has been observed as a popular mechanism for most launches. Prolonged drug release (12 hrs) has been seen in the prepared microspheres and they also remained buoyant for around 10 hrs. In vivo evaluation study was successfully performed. From the values of ulcer indexes for various groups, percentage protection was determined. The treatment group (F-2 formulation) showed the maximum percentage protection of 97.29%.

Conclusion:
The prepared floating microspheres can thus persuade potential candidates to be adaptable to any intra-gastric conditions for multiple-unit delivery devices.

Identifying Best-Practices: A Monte Carlo Evaluation of Quantile Regression
Authors: Wu Jiannan , Bretschneider Stuart 
Published: June 2022

The area of best practice research has only rcccntly begun to embrace statistically based comparisons as a basis for ying recommended practices. In part motivated by growing interest in performance measurement activities these new hes hold significant potential for improving out ability to identify and utilize true best practices. Unfortunately, little been done to study how to apply statistical methods to this task appropriately. In this paper a Monte Carlo evaluation is loped to demonstrate that how Quantile Regression methods can be used to identify best practice. After a brief literature and a summary of the Quantile Regression technique, the paper develops a specific monte carlo simulation design statistical situations with varying numbers of high, medium and low performing organizations. Next, we apply quan regression to the simulated data and attempts to develop some reasonable guidance about how to apply quantile rcgres to real world data. The results demonstrate that quantile regression can accurately estimate different models for different types of organizations (e.g. high and low performing) and should be considered as an effective tool for the empirical study of practices when samples of similar organizations are available. As an order based statistical estimation approach, it also the virtue of being more robust than typical moment approaches. This paper is based on a working paper developed at The Maxwell School in June 2001, which was partially funded by doctoral research grant from the Dean of The Maxwell School and the Center for Technology and Information Policy.

Authors: Qomarudin Sukri  , Cipto Prayitno  , Agung Kurniawan  , Agustian Budi Prasetya  
Published: June 2022

Studi terkait peranan aktivitas tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan (CSR) kaitannya dengan intensi masyarakat dalam membeli produk telah banyak dilakukan terhadap produk utama perusahaan penghasil barang. Sejauh ini belum banyak studi yang mencoba mengungkapkan hubungan aktivitas CSR terhadap produk Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) binaan CSR perusahaan pertambangan batu bara. Kekosongan ini menjadi menarik untuk diteliti mengingat adanya kewajiban pelaksanaan CSR pada perusahaan pertambangan batu bara di Indonesia. Adapun total responden dalam studi ini berjumlah 105 orang yang tersebar di sekitar area pertambangan batu bara di Kalimantan Selatan, Indonesia. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa intensi masyarakat dalam membeli sangat dipengaruhi oleh kualitas produk yang dihasilkan, bukan oleh persepsi masyarakat terhadap perusahaan. Temuan ini menggambarkan bahwa merek, nama besar, atau reputasi perusahaan tidak cukup untuk meningkatkan intensi masyarakat untuk membeli produk UMKM mitra perusahaan. Tata kelola CSR dan pendampingan yang tersusun dengan baik untuk peningkatan kualitas produk UMKM lebih berdampak pada intensi membeli produk UMKM. Pengelolaan dan pendampingan yang baik sangat penting untuk pengembangan UMKM mitra perusahaan agar dapat berkembang dan bersaing dengan berbagai produk atau jasa yang dapat diterima dengan baik oleh pasar.

Studies related to the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities in relation to purchasing intention have been carried out, where studies have been conducted on the main products of goods-producing companies. So far, there have not been many studies that have tried to reveal the relationship of CSR activities to the products of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) fostered by CSR of coal mining companies. This gap becomes interesting to be studied given the obligation to implement CSR in mining companies. The total respondents in this study are 105 persons that spread around coal mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. This study found that purchase intention was strongly influenced by product quality, not by people's perception of the company. This finding illustrates that a company's brand, big name, or reputation is not enough to increase people's intention to buy the company's partner MSME products. CSR governance and well-structured assistance to improve the quality of MSME products have more impact on the intention to buy MSME products. Good management and assistance are very important for the development of the company's partner MSMEs so that they can grow and compete with various products or services that are well received by the market.

The Response of the U.S. Maritime Industry to the New Container Security Initiatives
Authors: THIBAULT MARC , BROOKS MARY R. , BUTTON KENNETH J. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The September 11, 2001 attacks brought to the forefront long-standing concerns that terrorists could severely disrupt the global supply chain by using shipping containers or vessels to attack population centers or critical infrastructure. The U.S. and multilateral regulators responded by implementing security requirements that focus on the maritime industry. It is difficult to quantify the economic impacts of these regulations as maritime shipping firms have been either reluctant to share their data for proprietary and security reasons or have not been able to quantify costs. This article reports on how firms involved in U.S. waterborne container trade have responded to the new maritime container security initiatives. Senior container line executives, port officials, and marine terminal security officers were interviewed. It is concluded that the biggest benefit of the new security requirements is that they have fostered a cooperative security relationship between industry and government. There remain, however, important issues such as port security funding and supply chain recovery that need to be addressed more fully.
Opportunities for Research in Third-Party Logistics
Authors: MALONI MICHAEL J. , CARTER CRAIG R. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Research in third-party logistics (3PL) has expanded rapidly in the past fifteen years, providing a significant amount of empirical, survey-based 3PL research. The authors identify forty-five such papers and then examine topics, methodologies, and analytical approaches to assess opportunities for future research in the field. As is common during the emerging stages of a research stream, the authors find that much of the current 3PL literature has been exploratory in nature. The authors subsequently present several possible directions for enriching the field for both researchers and practitioners, including the integration of extant theory and the use of more advanced methodologies and statistical analyses.
