MV‐QUAL: A tool for understanding decisions to purchase virtual products in the metaverse

AbstractThis paper develops the metaverse quality (MV‐Qual) scale and explores the various factors that may impact consumers' perceptions of quality and value when purchasing virtual products in a metaverse world. Utilizing Flow Theory and SERVQUAL as theoretical lenses to conduct our research, a framework was developed and tested, demonstrating how various factors are interconnected and impact consumers' shopping experiences in the metaverse. Data were collected from a national sample of 322 metaverse users in the United States and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling in SmartPLS, complemented by a neural network causal analysis in Neusrel. The results demonstrated that several factors impact metaverse store quality and perceived virtual product value, including control, vividness, avatar design, rarity, and resale value. Subsequently, metaverse store quality and perceived virtual product value positively impact the intention to purchase virtual products in metaverse. This research contributes to the advancement of understanding consumer behavior in the metaverse and adds to the emerging marketing literature on the metaverse. Furthermore, the MV‐QUAL scale developed serves as a practical tool that both marketing researchers and practitioners can use to enhance understanding and discover new ways to improve the metaverse consumer experience.

Literature Review of Safety Event Reporting in Observational Studies: Challenges Extrapolating across Comparable Products

Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (PAXLOVIDTM, Pfizer) is an anti-infective inhibiting CYP3A4 indicated for the treatment of COVID-19 in adults at increased risk of severe COVID-19. As a newly approved product, PAXLOVID has limited safety information regarding rare events and serious adverse events (SAEs). This review describes the characterization of the real-world safety profile of products with similar pharmacological properties to PAXLOVID and aims to understand the impact of any drug interaction on the concomitantly prescribed products. A literature search of articles in PubMed published between 2018 and 2023 was conducted to assess the real-world frequency of safety outcomes of interest, specifically those meeting the criteria of serious adverse reaction. The review was restricted to observational, noninterventional studies and included CYP3A4 inhibitors prescribed for short-term treatment of infections in the outpatient setting. Twenty-one articles were included in the review. Most focused on a small, predefined list of safety outcomes and did not provide insight into the broader range of safety outcomes that might occur for the evaluated products with similar pharmacological properties to PAXLOVID or the impact of any interaction on the concomitant product. The findings highlight the challenges in obtaining proxy safety outcomes characteristics via a review of products with comparable pharmacological properties and underscore the need to have large, rapidly accessible data sources that can contribute to the safety profile of newly authorized products in the real world.

Problematika dan Perkembangan Perbankan Syariah di Indonesia dalam Era Globalisasi

This research aims to analyze the problems and development of sharia banking in Indonesia in the context of globalization. Sharia banking in Indonesia has experienced significant development during the era of globalization. Globalization is a process of international integration that occurs due to the exchange of world views, products, thoughts and other cultural aspects. The progress of transportation and telecommunications infrastructure, including the emergence of the telegraph and the Internet, is a major factor in globalization which increasingly encourages interdependence of economic and cultural activities. The era of globalization has brought changes to the world economic order and presented challenges and opportunities for sharia banking. However, with the development of sharia banking, various problems and challenges have arisen that need to be overcome, the central problem is the lack of socialization and education to the community, as well as competition with conventional institutions which is also a challenge for sharia banking in Indonesia. The analysis method used by the author is a qualitative approach. The results of the research in this journal are the innovation of Islamic banking products, developing digital banking and increasing human resources as a strategy for the development of Islamic banking in Indonesia in the era of globalisation.

Testing competing world trade models against the facts of world trade

We carry out an indirect inference test of two versions of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of world trade. One of these, the ‘classical’ model, is well-known as the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model of world trade, in which countries trade homogeneous products in world markets and produce according to their comparative advantage as determined by their resource endowments. The other, the ‘gravity’ model, assumes products are differentiated by geographical origin, so that trade is determined largely by demand and relative prices differing according to distance; trade in turn affects productivity through technology transfer. These two CGE models of world trade behave in very different ways and predict quite different effects for trade policy, underlining the importance of discovering which best fits the facts of international trade. Our findings here are that the classical model fits these facts fairly well in general, while the gravity model is largely strongly rejected by them.

Is Indonesia Destined to Become the World's Market for Halal Products?

This study aims to discover and analyse the existence of MSMEs in Indonesia in the world's Halal products and Services market. As a country with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia can become one of the largest markets in the world. As indicated in the Global Islamic Economic Report (GIER), Indonesia is one of the top ten countries that control the Islamic economic market, yet it fails to dominate its own Islamic market. Accordingly, the government needs to play a stronger role through regulatory policies to encourage the development of the Islamic economic ecosystem in Indonesia (halal value chain). The researchers have conducted normative juridical research with the analytical descriptive method by collecting, describing, analysing and presenting what is (das sein) and what ought to be (das sollen). The conclusion of this study shows that the quadruple helix innovation system can guarantee the development of MSMEs to achieve a high level of competitiveness - efficiency and effectiveness of the products and services produced.

Random Warranty and Replacement Models Customizing from the Perspective of Heterogeneity

Driven by the wide application of industrial software integrated with digital technologies, the real information of task cycles for some products in the real world can be monitored in real time and transmitted to the management center. Monitored task cycles hide consumers’ usage characteristics, which are signals of the products’ usage heterogeneity because they vary from one consumer to another consumer. By classifying monitored task cycles into different categories, this paper customizes two random maintenance models to ensure the life cycle reliability of the product with monitored task cycles on the basis of usage categories. The first model is customized using usage categories, the key objective of which is, from the perspective of heterogeneity, to ensure warranty-stage reliability. In view of using minimal repair service, the first model is named a random free repair warranty with heterogeneity (RFRW-H), which is modeled from the viewpoints of cost and time measures. By calculating the limits of cost and time measures, some specific cases are presented to model other warranties. The second model is customized using the same usage categories, which aims to ensure post-warranty-stage reliability. In view of using each of ‘whichever occurs first/last’, the second model is named a customized random periodic replacement first (CRPRF) model or a customized random periodic replacement last (CRPRL) model, respectively, which are modeled from the viewpoint of the cost rate function. By calculating the limits of the cost rate function, the cost rate functions of other maintenance models are obtained. Finally, from the numerical viewpoint, some of the features of the customized models are mined, and the performances are compared.

The International Pharmacopoeia: Focus, Processes, Response to COVID-19 and Collaboration with other Pharmacopoeias

The World Health Organisation develops and promotes international standards for pharmaceutical products, in support of efforts to increase access to quality-assured medicines for all, and to safeguard patients from substandard and falsified medicines. The International Pharmacopoeia is a key output of this work. Its focus, processes to establish texts for inclusion or revision, response to COVID-19 and the collaboration with other Pharmacopoeias shall be discussed in this review. Pharmacopoeias provide public standards (written norms as well as physical reference standards), which ensure the quality of medicines by defining the attributes that are essential to their safety and efficacy. They consist of analytical methods to test for the identity, purity and content of pharmaceutical products, together with acceptance criteria to evaluate test results, and information about storage, labelling and production. Pharmacopoeias greatly facilitate the development of multi-source medicines (generics) by defining minimum quality standards that a group of medicines must meet in order to be considered of commensurate safety, quality and effectiveness as the originator product(s). The added value of The International Pharmacopoeia lies in its focus on monographs of particular relevance to lowand middle-income countries which may not have sufficient resources to develop national pharmacopoeias. In a globalised world, where medicines and health products are frequently sourced from several countries with differing regulatory standards and requirements, and when the response to Public Health Emergencies of International Concern, like the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitates swift and equitable access to urgently needed quality-assured therapeutics, such a resource is indispensable.

Background: Axi-cel was approved by NMPA to treat R/R LBCL adult patients who had received 2 or more prior treatments in 2021 June. For better understanding the efficacy and safety of commercial Axi-cel in Chinese R/R NHL patients in real world setting, we conducted this multi-center, non-interventional study (ChiCTR2100047990). The accrual goal is 200 patients, and the primary endpoint is median OS. Here we made an interim analysis and reported clinical outcomes of Chinese patients treated by commercial CAR-T products in real world for the first time. Methods: R/R NHL patients treated with commercial Axi-cel in 17 authorized treatment centers from 11/2021 to 02/2023 were included. All patients signed written informed consents. We reported best objective response rate (bORR), best complete response (bCR) rate and adverse events. Results: A total of 101 R/R NHL patients were efficacy-evaluable. The median age was 56.8 years old, and 25 (24.8%) patients were ≥65 years. Fifty-nine patients were male. Baseline characteristics, including 80 (79.2%) with DLBCL, 4 (4.0%) with PMBCL, and 6 (5.9%) with high grade B-cell lymphoma. Forty-two (44.2%) patients had IPI ≥3 and 18 (24.3%) patients ECOG PS were ≥2. The median prior lines of therapy was 2, including 36 (35.6%) patients got ≥3 previous treatments and 10 patients had history of ASCT. Eighty-four patients were resistant to previous therapy, and the primary refractory subgroup reached 47 (46.5%). Bridging therapy was given in 56 (55.4%) patients, while combination therapy in 29 (28.7%) patients. The median follow-up was 9.2 months. The bORR and bCR was 83.2% (95% CI, 74.4 to 89.9) and 58.4% (95% CI, 48.2 to 68.1) respectively (Figure 1A). Response rates were consistent across key covariates, including disease type, disease stage, IPI score, cell-of-origin subtype, etc. Patients ≥65 years had favorable ORR [92.0% (95% CI, 74.0–99.0)] and CR rate [80.0% (95% CI, 59.3–93.2)]. Median PFS was 12.0 months (95% CI, 7.3 to NA). The median DOR and OS were not reached. No new safety signal was observed in Chinese patients. The most common ≥ grade 3AE were white-cell count decreased (in 87.6% of the patients), neutropenia (in 82.9%), pyrexia (in 73.3%).

Strategic interactions between product line design and carbon tax regulation

Along with carbon neutrality becoming recognized worldwide as one of the most effective ways to address global climate change and environmental challenges, there have emerged numerous attempts on the optimization of manufacturing and production management when facing carbon regulation. However, the previous literature considers mainly firms selling only single product variants, while consumer products in the real world are often sold in product lines. To gather theoretical guidance to achieve carbon neutrality, it is both necessary and urgent to explore the interactions between product line selling and carbon regulation. This paper analyzes the strategic interactions between product line design and carbon tax regulation. We show that a short product line may weaken policy makers’ incentive for carbon tax regulation if the unit environmental damage of production is sufficiently small. We also show that a longer product line does not necessarily lead to a higher carbon tax rate (CTR) unless the unit environmental damage of production is not sufficiently large. Additionally, we identify the condition under which a firm can have more incentives to extend product line with a predetermined CTR (pre-CTR) than that with a post-determined CTR (post-CTR). That is, unless the product line extension fee is sufficiently large, a firm with a pre-CTR would have more incentives to extend product line than that with a post-CTR when the unit environmental damage is moderate.

Individual and Combined Efficacy of Antibiotics and Probiotics on the Growth of Broiler Chicken

In Pakistan the poultry industry continues to grow to meet the demand for poultry products in world markets therefore, there is need for using probiotics instead of antibiotics to have maximum benefits. The present research work was carried out to study the effect of antibiotic and probiotic in combination and alone on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The effect of antibiotic and probiotic on the body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio was noted in all the birds. The study was conducted on 300 broilers chickens were divided into 10 groups. Nine of them having 25 birds with the control group having 75 birds. The antibiotic group was named A (A1, A2 and A3). In which A1 was received 150 mg Neomycin/kg feed, A2 was 200mg Neomycin/kg feed and A3 was 250 mg Neomycin/kg respectively. The probiotic group was named “B” and it was further sub divided into B1, B2 and B3. In which B1 was offered 1.5g Protexin/kg feed, B2 was offered 2g Protexin/ kg feed and B3 was 2.5g Protexin/kg feed. The group that received both antibiotic and probiotic was named C and was further divided into C1, C2 and C3. In which C1 was offered 150mg Neomycin and 1.5g Protexin/kg feed, C2 was offered 200 mg Neomycin and 2g Protexin/ kg feed and C3 was offered 250 mg Neomycin and 2.5 g Protexin/kg feed. We concluded that Neomycin antibiotic has not such better effect on the body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio. Protexin probiotic given alone improves the body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio. And the best result obtain was that of antibiotic and probiotic given in combination which significantly improves the body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio.

Extraction Technology for Manganese Sulfate Solution Purification

Manganese sulfate is an important base manganese salt; nearly 80% of the world's manganese products are produced using manganese sulfate or manganese sulfate solution. Furthermore, manganese sulfate has many applications in industry and agriculture; thus, manganese sulfate solution impurity removal technology is important. This study aims to remove impurities from manganese sulfate solution-using complex low-grade manganese ore and manganese-rich fumes after pressure acid leaching to obtain a manganese sulfate solution, which is then purified through iron removal by oxidation neutralization; finally, the purified liquid is treated using extraction-back-extraction. We investigated the effects of various extraction parameters on the extraction rate of manganese, as well as the effects of various back-extraction parameters on the manganese back-extraction rate and manganese ion concentration in the back-extraction solution, and studied the extraction-back-extraction process. We found that the extraction and back-extraction rates of manganese could reach 95% and 96.9%, respectively, under optimal conditions..
