A Model of the Influence of Marketing Objectives on Pricing Strategies in International Countertrade | As international markets become increasingly more competitive, firms must employ innovative marketing strategies merely to survive. One such strategy is the use of international countertrade. Offering to countertrade or responding to countertrade offers not only can enable a firm to survive, but also can provide the firm with the opportunity to achieve its marketing objective. Because countertrading involves complex exchanges of widely disparate products with debatable values, the pricing strategy employed is an important factor. The authors develop and empirically test a model of the influence of marketing objectives on buyers’ price expectations and sellers’ pricing strategies in international countertrade. Qualitative interviews provide insight into the world of countertrading and assist the articulation of the model and research methodology. A mail survey involving 108 countertrade practitioners from 23 countries offers support for 22 of the 24 hypotheses. The authors develop implications for policymakers and managers. | [

Spacing requirements for interactions between the C-terminal domain of the α subunit of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase and the cAMP receptor protein | During transcription initiation at bacterial promoters, the C-terminal domain of the RNA polymerase α subunit (αCTD) can interact with DNA-sequence elements (known as UP elements) and with activator proteins. We have constructed a series of semi-synthetic promoters carrying both an UP element and a consensus DNA-binding site for the Escherichia coli cAMP receptor protein (CRP; a factor that activates transcription by making direct contacts with αCTD). At these promoters, the UP element was located at a variety of distances upstream of the CRP-binding site, which was fixed at position -41.5 bp upstream of the transcript start. At some positions, the UP element caused enhanced promoter activity whereas, at other positions, it had very little effect. In no case was the CRP-dependence of the promoter relieved. DNase I and hydroxyl-radical footprinting were used to study ternary RNA polymerase-CRP-promoter complexes formed at two of the most active of these promoters, and co-operativity between the binding of CRP and purified α subunits was studied. The footprints show that αCTD binds to the UP element as it is displaced upstream but that this displacement does not prevent αCTD from being contacted by CRP. Models to account for this are discussed. | [

FLT3, CD32, PU.1, ERG, uPAR, and TAP2 Are Strongly Associated with the Progression of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and Combination of Small Interference RNA of FLT3 and STI571 Synergistically Induced Apoptosis of K562 Cells | Abstract To characterize molecular mechanisms by which transition from chronic phase to blast crisis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) for developing novel therapeutic targets, we analyzed gene-expression profiles of leukemic cells from 12 patients in chronic phase and 9 patients in blast crisis using a 8.7K cDNA chip. We identified 89 genes that were up-regulated as well as 54 genes that were down-regulated in blast crisis of CML. The expression profile included oncogenes, tumor suppression genes, and human genes encoding proteins involved in transcription, signal transduction, metabolism, cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and immune functions. 18 genes were selected among the up-regulated group for analysis using real-time PCR. Real-time PCR data indicated that the expression of FLT3 (p < 0.001), CD32 (p < 0.001), ERG (p < 0.001), uPAR (p < 0.001), MAD (p < 0.001) and TAP2 (p < 0.001) showed statistically significant difference between chronic phase and blast crisis. For further analysis, we utilized small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs), also referred to as small interfering RNAs, to target human FLT3. These small interfering RNA constructs significantly inhibited FLT3 expression at mRNA and protein levels in K562 cells. After treating both the FLT3 knockdown cells and control cells (FLT3 wild type) with STI571, MTT assay and the expression patterns of apoptosis related genes (PARP, caspase-3, Bax) were examined. MTT assay and caspase-3 activity assay showed that silencing of the gene for FLT3 significantly reduced cell viability and ultimately facilitated the induction of apoptotic cell death by STI571. These findings uncovered evidence of a complex signaling network operating down-stream of FLT3 that actively contributes to tumor progression. Thus, RNA interference-directed targeting of FLT3 can be a potential candidate anticancer agent in association with STI571 against chronic myeloid leukemia. | Blood | [

Abstract 839: Association of bowel movement frequency and laxative use with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in US women and men | Abstract Background: Abnormal bowel movements have been associated with dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, and altered metabolism of bile acids and gut microbiota, risks factors also associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, little is known about whether bowel movement frequency affects the risk of HCC. Methods: We followed 88,123 women in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and 21,084 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS). The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to calculate multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) and confidence intervals (95%CIs). In addition to age, we adjusted for race (white or non-white), gender (female or male), physical activity (lt 3, 3 to 26, ge 27 METS-hours/week), smoking status (never, 1 to 9, ge10 pack-years), alcohol consumption (lt 5, 5 to 14, get 15g/day), aspirin use (yes or no), body mass index (lt 25, 25 to 27.4, 27.5 to 29, ge 30kg/m2), and AHEI-2010 score without alcohol (in quartile) in the multivariable models. Results: We documented 101 incident HCC cases. Compared to those daily bowel movements, participants with bowel movement more than once per day had a multivariable HR of 1.88 (95% CI: 1.15 to 3.09) in the pooled cohorts. The positive association appeared stronger for men (frequent vs. daily, 2.74, 95% CI: 1.15 to 6.49) than for women (frequent vs. daily, 1.57, 95% CI: 0.83 to 2.95) (P-heterogeneity by sex=0.31). We found null associations between infrequent bowel movement and the risk of HCC (HR=1.00, 95%CI: 0.58 to 1.72). The HR (95%CI) for participants who used laxatives regularly relative to those who never used laxatives was 1.03 (0.66 to 1.60). Conclusions: Our results suggest increased bowel movement frequency is associated with a higher risk of HCC. These findings need to be confirmed and potential mechanisms underlying this association need to be elucidated.

The potential of cold-shock promoters for the expression of recombinant proteins in microbes and mammalian cells | Abstract Background Low-temperature expression of recombinant proteins may be advantageous to support their proper folding and preserve bioactivity. The generation of expression vectors regulated under cold conditions can improve the expression of some target proteins that are difficult to express in different expression systems. Main body of the abstract The cspA encodes the major cold-shock protein from Escherichia coli (CspA). The promoter of cspA has been widely used to develop cold shock-inducible expression platforms in E. coli. Moreover, it is often necessary to employ expression systems other than bacteria, particularly when recombinant proteins require complex post-translational modifications. Currently, there are no commercial platforms available for expressing target genes by cold shock in eukaryotic cells. Consequently, genetic elements that respond to cold shock offer the possibility of developing novel cold-inducible expression platforms, particularly suitable for yeasts, and mammalian cells. Conclusions This review covers the importance of the cellular response to low temperatures and the prospective use of cold-sensitive promoters to direct the expression of recombinant proteins. This concept may contribute to renewing interest in applying white technologies to produce recombinant proteins that are difficult to express. Graphical Abstract | [

WE3.1 Compliance of Prescription of Intravenous Fluid Resuscitation in Surgical Patients According to NICE Guidelines | Abstract Aim Assess compliance of prescription of for intravenous resuscitation fluids in accordance with NICE Guidelines in the acute surgical admissions population. Method We collected data prospectively for surgical patients admitted between 25/02/21–18/03/21 (first cycle) & 12/09/2021–4/10/2021 (2nd cycle). Maximum of 5 patients daily randomly selected. Data collected on wards after clerking on Day 1 of admission. Surgical Proforma was used to identify time of admission, presenting history and co-morbidities of patients. NEWS Charts used to identify observations of patients on admission. Drug charts used to assess volume and types of intravenous fluids prescribed. Admissions by audit authors were excluded to prevent selection bias. Intervention Posters in Emergency Assessment Unit and Wards, Teaching to junior doctors, Regular reminder messages to on-call teams. Results 72 patients included in audit. Prescription of Intravenous resuscitation fluids in Acute Surgical Patients in compliance with NICE guidelines rose from 49% to 69% between cycle 1 and 2, respectively. Correct prescriptions in volume and type of fluid rose from 2% (cycle 1) to 44% (cycle 2). Conclusions Almost one third of acute admissions met the criteria for resuscitation IV fluids. In indicated patients, nearly one half of patients were correctly prescribed resuscitation fluids in accordance with guidelines. | [

Transgenic Expression of a Fungal endo-Polygalacturonase Increases Plant Resistance to Pathogens and Reduces Auxin Sensitivity | Abstract Polygalacturonases (PGs), enzymes that hydrolyze the homogalacturonan of the plant cell wall, are virulence factors of several phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. On the other hand, PGs may activate defense responses by releasing oligogalacturonides (OGs) perceived by the plant cell as host-associated molecular patterns. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants expressing a fungal PG (PG plants) have a reduced content of homogalacturonan. Here, we show that PG plants are more resistant to microbial pathogens and have constitutively activated defense responses. Interestingly, either in tobacco PG or wild-type plants treated with OGs, resistance to fungal infection is suppressed by exogenous auxin, whereas sensitivity to auxin of PG plants is reduced in different bioassays. The altered plant defense responses and auxin sensitivity in PG plants may reflect an increased accumulation of OGs and subsequent antagonism of auxin action. Alternatively, it may be a consequence of perturbations of cellular physiology and elevated defense status as a result of altered cell wall architecture. | [

Modular waveguide filter platform for educational and prototyping purposes | AbstractIn this paper, a modular waveguide filter platform suitable for educational and prototyping purposes is presented. The waveguide filter platform is dimensioned to work in the F-band (4.9–7.05 GHz). The design of the platform is discussed and versatile application possibilities are shown in many examples. The platform can be used to realize generalized Chebyshev filters with or without cross-couplings by exploiting TE101 and TE102 mode cavities. Transmission zeros can be introduced by the utilization of wires or aperture couplings. Filter topologies based on the extracted pole technique can be examined as well. Small changes in the set-up also allow the realization of a gap waveguide filter, a diplexer set-up as well as filters with frequency-dependent coupling apertures. Most required components can either be purchased cheaply or be manufactured with a three-dimensional printer. | [

Optimizing Ultrasonic Power on Fabricating Aluminum Nanocomposites Reinforced with Boron Carbide Nanoparticles | In this work, aluminum (Al) alloy reinforced with boron carbide (B4C) nanoparticles were fabricated using ultrasonic assisted casting process. To investigate the effect of ultrasonic power on processing the metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs), the MMNC samples were processed with 1.0 kW, 1.5 kW and 2.0 kW of ultrasonic power. The results indicate that the ultrasonic power play a significant role in dispersing the B4C nanoparticles uniformly in Al melt and it also affects the mechanical properties of the fabricated MMNCs. From microstructural analysis it was observed that the MMNC sample processed with 2.0 kW ultrasonic powers possessed the good dispersion of B4C in the Al melt which is the prime criteria for the good mechanical properties. | [

Effectiveness of the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine against invasive pneumococcal disease among 948,263 individuals ≥ 65 years of age: a Danish cohort study | Abstract This study aimed to estimate the effectiveness of the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) against invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) among individuals ≥ 65 years of age. We used Danish nationwide databases to obtain information on PPV23 vaccination, covariates, and IPD and linked data on an individual level using a unique personal identifier. A total of 948,263 individuals were included and followed between June 15, 2020, and September 18, 2021 (58.6% were vaccinated during follow-up). The adjusted vaccine effectiveness was 42% (95% confidence interval (CI): 9–63%) for all-serotype IPD and 58% (95% CI: 21–78%) for PPV23-serotype IPD, using no vaccination as the reference. | [

Three-dimensional non-relativistic extended supergravity with cosmological constant | AbstractIn this paper, we present two novel non-relativistic superalgebras which correspond to supersymmetric extensions of the enlarged extended Bargmann algebra. The three-dimensional non-relativistic Chern–Simons supergravity actions invariant under the aforementioned superalgebras are constructed. The new non-relativistic superalgebras allow to accommodate a cosmological constant in a non-relativistic supergravity theory. Interestingly, we show that one of the non-relativistic supergravity theories presented here leads to the recently introduced Maxwellian exotic Bargmann supergravity when the flat limit $$\ell \rightarrow \infty $$ ℓ → ∞ is considered. Besides, we show that both descriptions can be written in terms of a supersymmetric extension of the Nappi–Witten algebra or the extended Newton–Hooke superalgebra. | [

The Importance of Continuing Education for Transplant Coordination Staff | Continuous quality improvement activities are necessary to achieve excellence at any institution. The Başkent University Hospitals have implemented continuous in-service training programs to improve all health services provided. Also, continuing medical education programs are being instituted in organ procurement and transplantation centers. In addition to receiving basic orientation and training upon hiring, transplant coordination staff complete forms that detail their current training status, further job training needed, and other courses of interest. The information is used to monitor skill levels, to determine the success of educational programs, and to identify further education that is needed. Our aim is to improve the quality of transplant coordination activities and increase organ donation at the hospitals in our network through effective monitoring and evaluation of continuous in-service training. These training programs enhance staff members' understanding of and participation in procedures related to transplantation and improves the total quality of the transplantation process. In the near future, this training model may be used to improve the donor hospital education program in Turkey. | Progress in Transplantation | [

Abstract A02: Tobacco and alcohol comorbidities among young adult Pacific Islanders | Abstract Pacific Islanders (PIs) in the United States have among the highest prevalence of cigarette smoking and alcohol use both of which contribute significantly to increased risk for cancer. Across racial/ethnic groups, late adolescents and young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 years are particularly vulnerable to tobacco and alcohol use. The community-based participatory research (CBPR) program “Weaving an Islander Network for Cancer Awareness, Research, and Training (WINCART)” consisting of community researchers from five NHPI-led community-based organizations (CBOs) and academic researchers are collaborating on the development, implementation, and evaluation of a culturally attuned smoking cessation intervention for young adult PIs entitled “Motivating Pasifika against Cigarettes and Tobacco (MPACT).” Findings from MPACT baseline data provide a description of tobacco and alcohol use patterns in a community sample of young adult PI cigarette smokers in Southern California. The sample of 200 comprised 103(51.5%) males, primarily U.S. born participants 167(84.4%), and individuals self-identifying mostly as either Samoan 106(53%) or Tongan 82(41%). Education level for the majority was completion of high school or GED 89(45.4%) or some college or trade school 77(39.3%). Just over half 113(56.5%) were employed and only 113(56.5%) reported having medical insurance coverage. Regarding general health status, 84(42.6%) of participants rated their health good-excellent, while 113(57.3%) reported their health as fair-poor. Most of the sample reported light to moderate cigarette smoking, 83(43.2%) reported concurrent 30-day E-cigarette or vaping use, and 154(78.2%) smoked menthol cigarettes. Most 127(65.8%) believed that E-cigarettes or vaping were less harmful than cigarettes. The majority of the sample, 153(81%) reported past month alcohol use, 132(69.5%) reported binge drinking on a least one day during that time, and 71(37.4%) reported past month binge drinking on 3 days or more. Utilizing the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale, a screening test for depression and depressive disorder, 87(47%) of the sample, reported symptoms consistent with a clinical diagnosis. These findings indicate that our study sample comprised young adult PIs smokers with a high unemployment rate, low-moderate education level, high fair to poor self-reported health status, light to moderate cigarette use with high concurrent rates of E-cigarette or vaping use, high rates of alcohol use, in particular, binge drinking, and high rates of depressive symptoms. These findings indicate the need for health education, preventive health services, and further research regarding tobacco and alcohol use health disparities that increase cancer risk in this Pacific Islander population.

Paleogeographic Characteristics of the Mengyejing Formation in the Simao Basin during Its Depositional Period and Its Indication of Potash Mineralization: A Case Study of MZK-3 Well | In China, pre-Quaternary solid potash deposit has only been discovered in the Simao Basin, and the Lower Cretaceous Mengyejing (MYJ) Formation (Fm.) is the productive layer of potash deposit. In this study, we investigated the clay conglomerates which are distributed in upper and lower members of the potash-bearing salt rock layer. We analyzed the relative contents of major elements (Al2O3, Fe2O3T, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O) and trace elements (B, Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Ga, Mn, Ni, Rb, Sr, V, Zn, Zr) in the samples. The results show that MgO and CaO in the major elements are rich relative to Post Archean Australian Shale (PAAS), whose average enrichment factor values of the MgO (EFMgO) is 2.61 and CaO (EFCaO) is 4.57, and the others major elements are relatively minor; trace elements (B, Ga, Mn, Zr) are rich relative to PAAS, and the others trace elements are minor relative to PAAS. The study of paleogeographic conditions using various parameters shows that the paleoclimate is generally dry and hot during the period of clay conglomerate deposition, but it was warm and humid in certain periods; the main sedimentary environment is weak oxidation condition with strong oxidation conditions in individual periods; the average value of paleosalinity is ~21‰, and the highest is no more than ~92‰. The significance of the paleogeographic characteristics of MYJ Fm. to potash mineralization are as follows: (1) they indicates that the clay conglomerates of MYJ Fm. are not clastic sediments in brine formed by seawater, because the paleosalinity of clay conglomerates deposition period is obviously lower than that of seawater; (2) MYJ potassic salt ore is not formed by evaporation and concentration of seawater in clay conglomerates in the sedimentary basin, because there is no carbonate rock and sulfate rock of corresponding scale after the deposition of clay conglomerates in the basin; (3) clay conglomerates of MYJ Fm. were deposited in continental shallow water basin; (4) the matter source of potash minerals is deep marine strata; (5) in the MYJ Fm. sedimentation period, deep source salt moved to the surface under the background of extensional structure, and the subsequent sedimentary clastic rock formed a protective layer of potash-bearing rock, thus completing the “deep source and shallow mineralization” metallogenic process. | [

INTERLIBRARY LOAN PROTOCOLS: AN INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW OF PROBLEM AREAS | This article gives an introductory description of the proposals for an international standard for interlibrary loan (ILL) protocols which are being discussed in ISO TC46/SC4/WG4. The proposals are for application level protocols within the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) framework: an ILL Service Definition and an ILL Protocol Specification are being developed, and should reach the Draft Proposal stage late in 1988. The Service Definition lists 21 services required for ILL, defining standard messages to be interchanged during the ILL process, and also defining the data elements to be included in the messages. Time sequence diagrams and transaction states are included. The Protocol Specification defines the data elements to be included in each Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU) as structured data types described using ASN1 (Abstract Syntax Notation Number 1). The protocol is now being modified to reflect the needs of union catalogue organizations and other intermediaries. Implementation of the protocol will depend upon organizations' ability to adapt their current (largely manual) ILL operations to automated systems for both requesting and responding libraries, and upon international acceptance of standardized ILL messages. Much progress remains to be made. | [
