Authors: Hernández-Molina Gabriela , Girón-Pïllado Mario , Cruz-Bautista Ivette , Saavedra-González Vanessa , Atisha-Fregoso Yemil , Barraza Gustavo , Aguilar-Salinas Carlos A. 
Published: January 2022

Background:
Notwithstanding the frequent coexistence of autoimmune thyroid disease
(ATD) and primary Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS), it is still unknown how often this association is
studied along with its clinical impact.

Objective:
This study aimed to describe real-world screening practices for ATD in patients with SS
and evaluate clinical outcomes of patients with both diagnoses using validated activity and chronicity
indexes.

Methods:
It is a retrospective study of 223 patients with SS attending a tertiary referral center. Patients
were under rheumatology surveillance and might have attended other clinics, including internal
medicine and/or endocrinology. We registered glandular and extraglandular features, serology
and scored the activity (ESSDAI) and the accrual damage (SSDDI) indexes. We also identified any
thyroid function tests (TFT) performed, anti-thyroid antibodies, images, and histological thyroid examinations.
A single endocrinologist reviewed all data.

Results:
One hundred forty-nine patients had at least one set of TFT. Younger age was associated
with a lack of screening (OR 0.98, 95 % CI 0.95-0.99, p=0.01). Sixty-nine patients had thyroid disease,
with the most common diagnosis being ATD (n=24). Patients with ATD had a lower prevalence
of Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB antibodies but similar cumulative SS activity and damage
scores.

Conclusion:
At least one-third of our patients were not screened for thyroid disease, with these patients
being the youngest. Thyroid disorders were found in about 40 % of patients with SS, with
ATD being the most common. Having SS/ATD did not confer more disease activity or damage accrual.
These results highlight the importance of making treating physicians aware of screening for
thyroid disease in this population.
A Network-Based Method for the Detection of Cancer Driver Genes in
Transcriptional Regulatory Networks Using the Structural Analysis of
Weighted Regulatory Interactions
Authors: Akhavan-Safar Mostafa , Teimourpour Babak , Nowzari-Dalini Abbas 
Published: January 2022

Background:
Identifying genes that instigate cell anomalies and cause cancer in humans is
an important field in oncology research. Abnormalities in these genes are transferred to other genes in
the cell, disrupting its normal functionality. Such genes are known as cancer driver genes (CDGs). Various
methods have been proposed for predicting CDGs, mostly based on genomic data and computational
methods. Some novel bioinformatic approaches have been developed.

Objective:
In this article, we propose a network-based algorithm, SalsaDriver (Stochastic approach for
link-structure analysis for driver detection), which can calculate each gene's receiving and influencing
power using the stochastic analysis of regulatory interaction structures in gene regulatory networks.

Method:
First, regulatory networks related to breast, colon, and lung cancers are constructed using
gene expression data and a list of regulatory interactions, the weights of which are then calculated using
biological and topological features of the network. After that, the weighted regulatory interactions are
used in the structural analysis of interactions, with two separate Markov chains on the bipartite graph
taken from the main graph of the gene network and the implementation of the stochastic approach for
link-structure analysis. The proposed algorithm categorizes higher-ranked genes as driver genes.

Results:
The proposed algorithm was compared with 24 other computational and network tools based
on the F-measure value and the number of detected CDGs. The results were validated using four databases.
The findings of this study show that SalsaDriver outperforms other methods and can identify
substantiallyy more driver genes than other methods.

Conclusion:
The SalsaDriver network-based approach is suitable for predicting CDGs and can be used
as a complementary method along with other computational tools.

Published: January 2022

Low income earning workers such as the teachers in the public secondary schools, are faced with varying categories of financial risk which cannot e alleviated without the help of some other social arrangement such as micro-insurance schemes. However, these scheme has not been well accepted among the teachers. The study however, looked at the reasons for the low acceptability. A stratified simple random sampling technique was used to collect data from a sample of 384 secondary school teachers in Lagos state, using regression analysis techniques. Adequate knowledge and well structured products designs of the micro-insurance products does not influence the acceptability of the products among the teachers. The study result however, shows that not making the products compulsory is the major factor that influence the acceptability among the teachers.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To compare the long-term outcomes of a ventral versus lateral surgical approach for mandibular and sublingual sialoadenectomy in dogs with a unilateral sialocele.

ANIMALS
46 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES
Medical records of dogs that underwent unilateral sialoadenectomy between 1999 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed, and information was collected regarding signalment, clinical signs, historical treatment, swelling location, diagnostic imaging findings, sialoadenectomy approach, adjunctive treatments, intraoperative complications, hospitalization time, postoperative complications, recurrence, and contralateral sialocele development.

RESULTS
There were no significant differences in incidences of intraoperative complications, recurrence, or postoperative complications between dogs in which a lateral versus ventral approach was used. Clinically important intraoperative complications included iatrogenic tears in the oral mucosa, ligature slippage from the duct end, hemorrhage, and possible lingual nerve transection. Surgical experience was associated with the likelihood that intraoperative complications would develop. Suspected recurrence was reported in 2 of 26 (8%) dogs that underwent a lateral approach and 2 of 12 (17%) dogs that underwent a ventral approach. Hospitalization time was significantly shorter with the lateral approach than with the ventral approach. Postoperative complications had a short-term onset and occurred in 4 of 25 (16%) dogs that underwent a lateral approach and 3 of 12 (25%) dogs that underwent a ventral approach. Age and presence of a pharyngeal sialocele were associated with development of postoperative complications.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Long-term outcomes for ventral and lateral approaches to sialoadenectomy were favorable and appeared to be comparable. Further prospective study into potential associations of sialoadenectomy approach, age, and pharyngeal sialoceles on outcome is needed.
Strategic management in Japanese tourism industry during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Baranyi Alexandra-Gabriela 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
In recent years, Japan proved to be one of the world’s leading countries in the travel industry by international tourist arrivals, with many other businesses relying on foreign travelers’ consumption within the country. The current Covid-19 pandemic crisis is a challenge for the tourism industry all around the world, as well as for Japan, where the entry restrictions have been strict since the start of the pandemic, foreigners not being allowed to enter the country for leisure purposes. However, even though the national income in this economic area decreased, it is still very high compared with other countries, and many businesses managed at least to maintain their activity on the market. In this paper, I will first analyze what were the strategic measures the Japanese government had taken regarding the national tourism industry during the SARS epidemic at the beginning of the 21st Century. Further, I will compare those measures with the government’s attitude over Japan’s travel industry in the first year of the current pandemic. Furthermore, I will make a comparison of the national income in the travel industry and the number of tourists by major areas in 2020 and the previous year, in order to introduce some strategic measures that could improve Japanese tourism for the next period, considering that the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games will be held this summer.

Published: January 2022

There are various factors that cause tourists’ happiness. There are tourists who are happy because of the influence of hedonic, spiritual, social, cultural, psychological, economic, and including eudaimonic values. Of all the factors that cause happiness, one of the important factors that need to be explored in determining the happiness of foreign tourists is the eudaimonic value. For tourists, this eudaimonic value is related to various aspects of tourism services in the context of achieving happiness. Despite this, the effect of this eudaimonic value in particular on service products, satisfaction and happiness of foreign tourists when traveling to Bali is not yet clear. Having the background, the objective of this study is to prove the effect of eudaimonic value on product services, examine the effect of eudaimonic value on tourist satisfaction, prove the effect of product service on tourist satisfaction, and examine the effect of tourist satisfaction on the psychological happiness of foreign tourists in Bali. This study took a sample of 171 respondents, namely foreign tourists who traveled to Bali. The analysis method uses SEM (Structural Equation Model). Based on the results of the analysis, the research findings are as follows: the value of eudaimonic has a positive and significant effect on the service product, the value of eudaimonic has a positive and significant effect on tourist satisfaction, the service product has a positive and significant effect on tourist satisfaction, and tourist satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on tourist satisfaction. tourist psychology well-being. Based on the results of the four tests, these findings can formulate a model of eudaimonic tourist happiness in Bali which is acronymized with the term MTES (Model of Tourists Eudaiminic Happiness). The conclusion of this research is MTES which covers the happiness of foreign tourists in Bali consisting of aspects of eudaimonic value, the service product, tourist satisfaction, and psychology of tourist well being. This study has limitations in terms of the number of test variables because there are still relatively many variables as determinants of the happiness of foreign tourists who travel to Bali. For this reason, further research is recommended to test with other foreign tourists variables such as the characteristics of foreign tourists, length of visit, and the desire to visit again to test the happiness of eudaimonic tourists in Bali.

Published: January 2022

Belakangan ini pandemi Corona Virus Disease (yang popular dengan Covid-19)menjadi salah satu variabel utama yang menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan sosial maupun perubahan tata kehidupan bermasyarakat dan bernegara, tidak saja di Indonesia, tetapi bahkan juga di dunia. Perubahan tersebut terjadi di hampir semua sektor, tidak terkecuali pada sektor pelayanan publik. Sejumlah kebutuhan publik terhadap pelayanan publik mengalami perubahan sangat mendasar. Hal ini memerlukan respon dari pihak penyelenggara pelayanan publik, berupa inovasi pelayanan yang sesuai dengan bentuk, jenis, dan sifat kebutuhan publik yang telah mengalami berubahan tersebut. Ketika suatu lembaga penyelenggara pelayanan publikmenjadi bagian dari struktur pemerintah dan/atau pemerintah daerah, maka diperlukan suatu kebijakan publik yang memayungi inovasi yang diciptakan.Berdasarkan penelitian yang peneliti lakukan terhadap pelayanan perpajakan pada Unit Pelayanan Teknis Pengelola Pendapatan Daerah (UPT-PPD) Malang Selatan, Kabupaten Malang Provinsi Jawa Timur, menunjukkan bahwa: (1) pada masa pandemi ini telah terjadi perubahan kebutuhan publik terhadap jenis pelayanan publik terutama pelayanan pembayaran pajak kendaraan bermotor; (2) para petugas penyelenggara pelayanan publik memerlukan sejumah cara baru dan sumberdaya pendukung guna merespon perubahan kebutuhan publik tersebut; (3) untuk menjaga dan meningkatkan efektifitas pelayanan publik di masa pandemi Covid-19, telah diciptakan inovasi pelayanan dengan nomenklatur “Jelajah Lintas Desa” (Jelita); (4) temuan tersebut menguatkan teori Bromley (1989) tentang Hierarchy of Policy Formulation; dan sejalan dengan asumsi teori Bromley ini pula peneliti merekomendasikanagar Pemerintah Daerah merespon fenomena tersebut dengan mengambil kebijakan yang responsif, didahuli dengan melakukan analisis kebutuhan (assessment) dan menetapkan kebijakan pada tingkat operasional yang kemudian ditindaklanjuti dengan merumuskan standar operasional prosedur (yang dalam teori Bromley disebut sebagai “instutional arrangements”); agar dapat memayungi inovasi pelayanan yang telah dilakukan oleh penyelenggara pelayanan publik, sekaligus dapat menjadi instrumen dalam rangka melakukan transformasi pelayanan publik guna menjaga dan meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan publik di masa pandemi Covid-19 ini.
