description: The study focuses on good corporate governance structures for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana.  Researchers sought to analyze and understand how financial institutions like savings and loans companies could build sound and robust governance systems for long-term business continuity and how they are showing resilience after the revocation of licenses in 2019. The study gathered both primary and secondary data using an open-ended interview guide to explore and describe the subjective views of selected key informants at Services Integrity Savings and Loans on the need for robust corporate governance structures. Major findings indicated that well-constituted and functioning boards and management in accordance with the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992) and regulatory directives form a robust structure for a company and for all other pillars of good governance to thrive. However, a good structure does not yield business results unless proactive and contemporary business models are adopted for the marketability and profitability of companies. Companies who have poor structures are likely to have a poor foundation for good governance and thereby may fail to ensure due compliance to processes, principles and guidelines.  This will likely affect the accountability, transparency and sustainability of the company.  Also, in order to prevent or lessen situations that led to the collapse of 23 Savings and Loans Companies and other SDI companies in 2019, researchers explored how existing companies are ensuring strong and sound governance structures for business sustainability that could assure investor, economic and general public confidence in the financial industry.

description: Definir la ‘Ciencia de la Psicología’ no es definir al ‘psicólogo’. Las personas del común creen que “psicología es lo que hace el psicólogo” y la percepción más cercana que se tiene del mismo es la de un profesional que “da consejos”. Esto es evidente en las Facultades de Psicología entre la generalidad los aspirantes y estudiantes admitidos, quienes consideran que son buenos prospectos por la simple razón de que “dan buenos consejos”; visión romántica de la psicología que soterradamente ha limitado al estudiante de psicología como prospecto, al psi-cólogo como científico y a la psicología como ciencia, restringiendo así su progreso.

description: Objective: Prostate cancer is a highly prevalent form of cancer in older men and is one of the leading causes of death from cancer in men across the globe. Many therapeutic agents have been approved for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), particularly as a post-docetaxel treatment strategy. The objective of this systematic literature review was to assess published efficacy and safety data for select mCRPC therapies – such as abiraterone, cabazitaxel, and enzalutamide – in the post-docetaxel setting. Methods: Database searches of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL, in conjunction with hand searches of multiple congress abstracts, yielded 13 randomized studies and 107 non-randomized studies that met the inclusion criteria. Results: Randomized studies demonstrated significant improvements in median overall survival (OS) outcomes over placebo for abiraterone (15.8 vs. 11.2 months) and enzalutamide (18.4 vs. 13.6 months), and similar significant improvements were noted for cabazitaxel over mitoxantrone (15.1 vs. 12.7 months). Differences in progression-free survival (PFS) were similarly significant, although variance in the criteria for measuring PFS may limit the extent to which these outcomes can be compared between studies. Non-randomized evidence included multiple publications from several early access and compassionate use programs with a primary objective to report safety outcomes. Results from these studies largely reflected the findings in randomized trials. Conclusions: Overall, there is a growing body of evidence for post-docetaxel treatment options available in patients with mCRPC. Further head-to-head trials or indirect treatment comparisons may be a valuable method to assess the comparative efficacy of these therapies.

description: The brucellae are facultative intracellular pathogens causing brucellosis, an important zoonosis. Here, we review the nutritional, genetic, proteomic and transcriptomic studies on Brucella carbon uptake and central metabolism, information that is needed for a better understanding of Brucella virulence. There is no uniform picture across species but the studies suggest primary and/or secondary transporters for unknown carbohydrates, lactate, glycerol phosphate, erythritol, xylose, ribose, glucose and glucose/galactose, and routes for their incorporation to central metabolism, including an erythritol pathway feeding the pentose phosphate cycle. Significantly, all brucellae lack phosphoenolpyruvate synthase and phosphofructokinase genes, which confirms previous evidence on glycolysis absence, but carry all Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway and Krebs cycle (and glyoxylate pathway) genes. However, glucose catabolism proceeds through the pentose phosphate cycle in the classical species, and the ED pathway operates in some rodent-associated brucellae, suggesting an ancestral character for this pathway in this group. Gluconeogenesis is functional but does not rely exclusively on classical fructose bisphosphatases. Evidence obtained using infection models is fragmentary but suggests the combined or sequential use of hexoses/pentoses, amino acids and gluconeogenic substrates. We also discuss the role of the phosphotransferase system, stringent reponse, quorum sensing, BvrR/S and sRNAs in metabolism control, an essential aspect of the life style of facultative intracellular parasites.

Problems and Prospects of Metropolitan Governance in Sydney : Towards ‘Old' or ‘New' Regionalism?
Creators: name: Kubler, D
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2005

description: The organisation of governance in metropolitan areas is one of the most debated topics in urban social science. This long-running debate has long been dominated by the dispute between two intellectual traditions: the metropolitan reform tradition advocating institutional consolidation, and the public choice approach making the case for fragmentation and local autonomy. Since the 1990s, a new perspective has emerged – the so-called ‘new regionalism’ – emphasizing the role of network-based schemes of cooperation for area-wide governance. It echoes a conceptual shift in thinking about the ways in which the state could and should steer society, emphasizing governance through negotiation, rather than through hierarchy or market. Drawing on this conceptual background, this paper discusses the problems and prospects of area-wide governance in the metropolitan area of Sydney. The arguments will be developed in three sections. The first section is dedicated to the theoretical background of the debate on metropolitan governance, and develops the conceptual framework for the subsequent analysis of metropolitan governance problems in Sydney. This will follow, in the second section, with an overview of the key characteristics of the intergovernmental relations, as well as of the institutional setting that frames metropolitan governance in Australia in general, and in Sydney in particular. The third section presents results of my own research focusing on the process of elaborating the latest Metropolitan Strategy in Sydney. I will argue that the chances of achieving strong metropolitan governance capacity in the Sydney area are extremely weak under current conditions, due to a) strong intergovernmental tensions, b) high geopolitical fragmentation, and c) conceptual incoherence in the elaboration process of the Metropolitan Strategy. We discuss two possible routes towards strengthening metropolitan governance capacity: one ‘old regionalist’ and one ‘new regionalist’. It is concluded that, as the ‘old regionalist’ solution (e.g. the creation of a Greater Sydney Authority) is very unlikely to be realised, the ‘new regionalist’ solution should be pursued, the goal being to make the existing system of joint decision making more effective rather than trying to replace it.

description: This work presents a morphotectonic map of the Pescara River basin (1:40,000 scale), located in the piedmont-hilly area of the central-eastern Apennines (Abruzzo Region, Italy), and stretching from the eastern slope of the chain (Maiella Massif, Morrone Mt. and Gran Sasso Range) to the Adriatic coast. It is the outcome of an extensive drainage basin-scale geomorphological analysis and incorporates four main sections: orography and hydrography; morphotectonics; azimuthal analysis of the morphotectonic elements; Quaternary fluvial deposits and morphotectonic profiles. The morphotectonic map provides a basis for the study of morphotectonic features at basin-scale, the reconstruction of paleo-landscapes with special regard to drainage network evolution, and the recognition of tectonic control and selective erosion on the landscape. It also contributes to an outline of the main phases of the post-orogenic landscape evolution of the piedmont-hilly area of the Apennines, resulting from the link of alternating morphotectonic and surface processes.

Dazu werden die Begriffe Arbeitsgedächtnis, ADHS und deren Zusammenhang mit Hilfe von Grundlagenliteratur geklärt, die Forschung der letzten 20 Jahre eingegrenzt und qualitativ analysiert. Die Erkenntnisse aus dieser Auseinandersetzung führen zur Formulierung von Anforderungen an ein Förderprogramm. Geeignete Computerprogramme, Apps, Lehrmittel und Spiele werden erörtert. Die 15 ausgewerteten Studien zeigen: Grösstmögliche Effekte erzielt ein Training, das mindestens gleich viele Arbeitsgedächtnis- wie Kurzzeitgedächtnisaufgaben enthält, in Game-Format gestaltet und adaptiv ist. Die Apps «iHirn» und «Cognition Flex», Teile aus dem «Memo-Training» und aus «Besser lernen» sowie ausgewählte Gesellschaftsspiele werden empfohlen. Trotz vielversprechender Ergebnisse zeigt sich auch zusätzlicher Forschungs- und Entwicklungsbedarf.

description: Electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) heat and vaporize a liquid mixture to produce an inhalable aerosol that can deliver nicotine to the user. The liquid mixture is typically composed of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), in which are dissolved trace quantities of flavorants and, usually, nicotine. Due to their different chemical and thermodynamic properties, the proportions of PG and VG in the liquid solution may affect nicotine delivery and user sensory experience. In social media and popular culture, greater PG fraction is associated with greater “throat-hit,” a sensation that has been attributed in cigarette smokers to increased presence of vapor-phase nicotine. VG, on the other hand, is associated with thicker and larger exhaled “clouds.” In this study, we aim to investigate how PG/VG ratio influences variables that relate to nicotine delivery and plume visibility. Aerosols from varying PG/VG liquids were generated using a digitally controlled vaping instrument and a commercially available ECIG, and analyzed for nicotine content by GC-MS. Particle mass and number distribution were determined using a six-stage cascade impactor and a fast particle spectrometer (TSI EEPS), with tightly controlled dilution and sampling biases. A Mie theory model was used to compute the aerosol scattering coefficients in the visible spectrum. Decreasing the PG/VG ratio resulted in a decrease in total particulate matter (TPM) and nicotine yield (R2 > 0.9, p < .0001). Measured particle count median diameter ranged between 44 and 97nm, and was significantly smaller for PG liquids. Although the particle mass concentration was lower, aerosols produced using liquids that contained VG had an order of magnitude greater light scattering coefficients. These findings indicate that PG/VG ratio is a strong determinant of both nicotine delivery and user sensory experience. Copyright © 2017 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: Background and Purpose: Cerebral large vessel occlusion (LVO) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) may be complete (CLVO) or incomplete (ILVO). The influence of ILVO on clinical outcome after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) remains unclear. We investigated primarily the clinical outcome in patients with AIS due to ILVO or CLVO. Methods: Five hundred three consecutive AIS patients with LVO treated with stent-retriever or direct aspiration-based MT between 2010 and 2016 were analyzed. The primary endpoint was favorable clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale ≤2) at 90 days; secondary endpoints were periprocedural parameters. Results: Forty-nine patients (11.3%) with a median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of 11 presented with ILVO and the remainder presented with CLVO and median NIHSS of 15 (p < 0.001). The median groin puncture-to-reperfusion time was 30 vs. 67 min, respectively (p < 0.001). Successful reperfusion was reached in 47 out of 49 ILVO (95.9%) vs. 298 out of 381 CLVO (78.2%; p < 0.005) with less retrieval maneuvers (1.7 ± 2.2 vs. 3.0 ± 2.5; p < 0.001). The favorable outcome at 90 days was 81% in patients with ILVO vs. 29.1% in CLVO (p < 0.001); respective all-cause mortality rates were 6.4 vs. 28.5% (p < 0.001). Periprocedural complications (6.9%) occurred exclusively in CLVO patients (p < 0.05). ILVO was associated with favorable clinical outcome independent of age and NIHSS in multivariate logistic regression both in the anterior (OR 3.6; 95% CI 1.8-6.9; p < 0.001) and posterior circulation (OR 3.5; 95% CI 1.8-6.9; p < 0.001). Conclusions: AIS due to ILVO is frequent and is associated with a nearly threefold higher chance of favorable clinical outcome at 90 days, independent of age and initial NIHSS compared to CLVO.

description: Background and Purpose: Motor tests performed at stroke onset have been shown to predict the recovery of upper limb motor impairment. Less is known about upper limb recovery at the level of functional activity or of participation and how spatial neglect may influence the integration of the upper limb in the activities of daily living (ADL). Our objective was to investigate whether the initial severity of spatial neglect may predict upper limb use in ADL. Methods: Eighty-two patients with a right-hemispheric stroke (RHS) were prospectively included in the study. They were assessed twice in the acute/subacute and in the subacute/chronic phases (mean time interval of 45 days) after stroke. The Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) was used to quantify the influence of spatial neglect on the ADL. Contralesional upper limb use in the ADL was evaluated with the Lucerne international classification of function, disability and health-based Multidisciplinary Observation Scale. Hand strength was measured using the Jamar, dexterity with the Nine Hole Peg test, and tactile perception using the stereognosis subtest of the Nottingham Sensory Assessment. Cognitive functions were assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Results: Regression analyses revealed that spatial neglect is an independent and a significant predictor of upper limb outcome. A CBS score of ≤5 at the time of admission to neurorehabilitation care was highly predictive for good upper limb use in the ADL 45 days later. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that spatial neglect severity, as observed in the ADL, is a significant and an independent predictor of upper limb outcome. Neglect therapy is thus needed to further improve contralesional upper limb use in the ADL in RHS patients.

The Impact of Family Assistance Changes on Patterns of Unemployment Benefit Receipt

Unemployment Benefit
Australia

description: The last decade in Australia has seen a major expansion of income support to low income non-pensioner/beneficiary families with children. One of the major goals of this increased support has been to increase the relative financial attractiveness of low wage employment for people with dependent children, and to thus encourage those unemployed with larger families to increase their job search effort. This paper examines this objective by first describing the changes in effective unemployment benefit replacement rates over the 1980s, and then by testing whether these changes have been associated with any changes in the relative unemployment rates of men with different numbers of children. The main conclusion is that these changes have not had any discernible behavioural impact. This may be due to either a small degree of response to financial incentives, or possibly to a lack of knowledge of the income support payments available.

description: QSAR models are proposed for predicting the toxicity of 33 piperidine derivatives against Aedes aegypti. From 2D topological descriptors, calculated with the PaDEL software, ordinary least squares multilinear regression (OLS-MLR) treatment from the QSARINS software and machine learning and related approaches including linear and radial support vector machine (SVM), projection pursuit regression (PPR), radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), general regression neural network (GRNN) and k-nearest neighbours (k-NN), led to four-variable models. Their robustness and predictive ability were evaluated through both internal and external validation. Determination coefficients (r2) greater than 0.85 on the training sets and 0.8 on the test sets were obtained with OLS-MLR and linear SVM. They slightly outperform PPR, radial SVM and RBFNN, whereas GRNN and k-NN showed lower performance. The easy availability of the involved structural descriptors and the simplicity of the MLR model make the corresponding model attractive at an exploratory level for proposing, from this limited dataset, guidelines in the design of new potentially active molecules.

Repertoire of the Big Start: A Dimensional Transition in Spiderweb Theory
Creators: name: Al Thani, Jamil
name: Cisneros, Grace
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This repertoire presents the Big Start, a cosmological paradigm redefining the universe’s origin as a dimensional transition at the Grand Mechanical scale (10−51m10^{-51} \mathrm{m}10−51m) within the Spiderweb Theory (TTA). Using the equation F=fv(Zn) F = f_v(Z_n) F=fv(Zn), it posits that fractal resonances (Zn Z_n Zn) generate mass, energy, and cosmic structures, eliminating dark matter, dark energy, and inflation. Validated with pre-2024 data from WMAP, Planck, SDSS, ATLAS/CMS, and LIGO (R2≈0.970±0.015 R^2 \approx 0.970 \pm 0.015 R2≈0.970±0.015), it resolves the Hubble tension (H0≈73.04±0.15 km s−1 Mpc−1 H_0 \approx 73.04 \pm 0.15 \, \text{km} \, \text{s}^{-1} \, \text{Mpc}^{-1} H0≈73.04±0.15kms−1Mpc−1) and S8 S_8 S8 discrepancies. Offering predictions for DESI, JWST, and Euclid (2024-2035), the Big Start unifies sub-Planckian to cosmological scales, integrates E=mc2 E=mc^2 E=mc2 and E=hν E=h\nu E=hν into a fractal framework, and extends to biophysics and quantum systems. Code is available at https://github.com/jamilalthani/spiderweb_fractal
description: The Big Start challenges the Big Bang paradigm, proposing a fractal spacetime transition at the GM scale (10−51m10^{-51} \mathrm{m}10−51m) that transcends the Planck scale and eliminates dark matter and exotic energies. Rooted in the Spiderweb Theory (TTA) and F=fv(Zn) F = f_v(Z_n) F=fv(Zn), it reinterprets Einstein’s E=mc2 E=mc^2 E=mc2 as emergent from fractal resonances and extends E=hν E=h\nu E=hν to cosmic scales. Validated by WMAP, Planck, LIGO, and ATLAS/CMS (R2≈0.970 R^2 \approx 0.970 R2≈0.970), it resolves Hubble tension and aligns with ancient Flower of Life patterns, bridging archaeoastronomy and cosmology. Engaging researchers of CMB anomalies, quantum coherence, and biophysics, it offers a unified framework for quantum mechanics, gravity, and cosmic evolution.

description: By using electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry, it was proven experimentally that the cesium cation (Cs+) forms with [2.2.2]paracyclophane (C24H24) the cationic complex [Cs(C24H24)]+. Further, applying quantum chemical calculations, the most probable structure of the [Cs(C24H24)]+ complex was derived. In the resulting complex with a symmetry very close to C3, the ‘central’ cation Cs+, fully located in the cavity of the parent [2.2.2]paracyclophane ligand, is bound to all three benzene rings of [2.2.2]paracyclophane via cation–π interaction. Finally, the interaction energy, E(int), of the considered cation–π complex [Cs(C24H24)]+ was found to be −73.2 kJ/mol, confirming the formation of this fascinating complex species as well. This means that [2.2.2]paracyclophane can be considered as a receptor for the Cs+ cation in the gas phase.
