Physical activity levels and statin therapy: differences between symptomatic and asymptomatic statin users

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Combining statin treatment and physical activity is highly effective to reduce cardiovascular diseases. Statin use may exacerbate statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), making an active lifestyle more difficult for statin users. It is, however, unknown whether daily activity patterns differ between symptomatic and asymptomatic statin users. Purpose To objectively assess physical activity levels and sedentary time and compare these between long-term statin users with or without muscle complaints. Methods Ninety-seven symptomatic (66±9 years, 74% male) and 97 asymptomatic statin users, matched for age and gender in a 1:1 ratio, were recruited from general practitioners offices. Physical activity patterns were measured using the activPAL3 micro monitor, which was attached to the upper right thigh. Participants wore the activity monitor 24 hours per day during 7 consecutive days and were asked to maintain normal daily activities. Results Symptomatic statin users performed less physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity per day (61.1 min, IQR: 43.1-77.0 min) compared to asymptomatic statin users (69.1 min, IQR: 50.7-94.6 min; P=0.02). There were no differences in physical activity levels of light intensity or sedentary time between the statin groups. Symptomatic statin users took less steps per day (7560 steps, IQR: 5649-9692 steps) compared to asymptomatic statins users (8721 steps, IQR 6306-11791 steps; P=0.02). Conclusion Symptomatic statin users have reduced levels of physical activity compared to asymptomatic statin users. These findings highlight the clinical relevance to explore possibilities for symptomatic statin users to increase physical activity levels and the associated health benefits.

Auditing Public Debt Using Risk Management

The Audit Office of the Republic of Cyprus conducted the first-ever audit of the country’s public debt, seeking answers to two key questions. Is government debt sustainable, and is debt financing efficient and effective in securing the lowest cost with acceptable risks? The audit’s findings were discussed by the parliament and can have significant ramifications for public finance. However, public debt management is quite complex, and the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions suggests that sufficient technical knowledge is essential in undertaking an audit, including an understanding of the uncertain macroeconomy, financing conditions, and government fiscal stance. We use a risk management model based on scenario trees in conducting the audit. The model determines optimal debt financing strategies to benchmark the performance of the country’s Public Debt Management Office and answer the audit questions. We also incorporate an integrated assessment model to examine the risks from climate change. The auditor general presented the findings to the Parliamentary Audit Committee in the presence of the Minister of Finance, and his recommendations are expected to have a significant impact on the debt operations of the country.

The Impacts of China’s Resident Tourism Subsidy Policy on the Economy and Air Pollution Emissions

Currently, tourism is an important contributor to the Chinese economy. The Chinese government issued Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Reform and Development of Tourism and Several Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Further Promoting Tourism Investment and Consumption, which are aimed at promoting tourism development. In this study, we use a multiregional and multisectoral computable general equilibrium model (CGE model) to simulate the effects of different levels of resident tourism subsidy policies on the economy and environment in China. Our analysis shows that tourism subsidies are beneficial to economic growth and support the transition to a low-carbon society. In addition, resident tourism subsidy policy has a positive effect on the national emission reduction of CO2, CO, NOX, PM2.5, and SO2. At the regional level, more significant emission reduction potential is present in provinces with more energy consumption and a more developed heavy industry, such as Shandong, Guizhou, and Inner Mongolia. Therefore, this study indicates that resident tourism subsidies can be an effective policy suggestion to promote the transition to a green society and air pollutant emission reduction.

The goal to be achieved in this paper is an analysis of efforts to prevent and eradicate criminal acts of corruption in the Attorney General's Office must have additional authority to carry out wiretapping because the Attorney's authority in wiretapping corruption in the Prosecutor's Law of the Republic of Indonesia has not yet been regulated.

The study included a survey of the geoportal. The purpose of the survey was to obtain information on whether this service is known to potential audiences seeking information on spatial data. Results and conclusions: The survey proved that the geoportal is a popular service used to display and process spatial data. Survey respondents use a lot of the data collected in the geoportal and take advantage of its functionality. Finally, an analysis was carried out of data obtained from the District Geodetic and Cartographic Documentation Center of Małopolska regarding the number of notifications of geodetic works, the number of applications for access to materials from the PZGiK, and the number of applications for extracts or extracts from the cadastral record - for the period 2014-2019.

THE ATTORNEY'S AUTHORITY IN DETERMINING STATE FINANCIAL LOSSES IN CORRUPTION CRIMES

The Attorney General's Office has the power to objectively assess state financial losses and make a Determination. In contrast, states have the power to assess and decide upon their own financial losses due to criminal acts to corruption, BPK and BPKP are responsible.
