It’s not (only) personal, it’s business: personal bankruptcy exemptions and business credit

Abstract In the USA, state-level exemptions determine the amount of property that individuals can protect from creditor liquidation during the debt settlement process. We exploit within-metropolitan statistical area variation in personal bankruptcy exemptions created by state borders and a stacked regression approach to identify the spillover effects of these laws on business credit extended to small firms. Subsequent to exemption increases, we find a reduction of 1–2 percent in originations of business credit. The effect is strongest for the smallest firms, which are more financially constrained. We provide household-level evidence that both business debt and personal debt decline for borrowers whose home equity becomes covered by the exemption, suggesting an overall decrease in credit availability for small businesses. As a result, increases in exemptions lead to fewer small establishments and lower employment, especially in industries dependent on external finance, suggesting that negative real economic effects occur via a credit market channel.

Negative Externalities of Regulation: Identity‐relevant Information in Mandatory Short‐selling Disclosures

Since November 2012, short sellers have been required to disclose all their significant short positions against European firms. While this regulation was primarily implemented to have implications for financial markets, I explore its negative externalities on shorted firms. Using mandatory disclosures of short positions between 2013 and 2019, I find that short‐selling notifications and the number of short sellers with an open short position are positively associated with shorted firms’ dividend policies. Notably, the association is more pronounced for upward and initial notifications compared to downward and follow‐up notifications. These results are robust to several matching methods and a battery of robustness tests. Additional results reveal that shorted firms might increase their dividends because short‐selling disclosures reveal the identity of active and large short sellers, highlighting the importance of short sellers’ heterogeneity. I also show that shorted firms increase their dividends temporarily and do not react homogenously, as they engage in a cost–benefit analysis to decide whether to use their dividend policy. Overall, I document the real effects on shorted firms of an alternative form of short selling, bridging the gap between passive and activist short selling. I conclude that mandatory short‐selling disclosure regimes carry negative externalities for firms due to the provision of short sellers’ identity‐relevant information.

Cattle farming needs to prioritize sustainable waste management. The productivity of beef cattle farming is not yet fully maximized because it still uses conventional farming practices. The objectives of the study: (1) to identify the characteristics of beef cattle farmers in South Suwawa District and (2) to examine the factors that influence the implementation of farmers in waste utilization. The study used a sample of 60 farmers through accidental sampling. This study used the SPSS 23 Program with multiple regression analysis. The results of the study showed (1) age, education, gender, occupation, and experience of cattle farmers have an impact on the management of waste utilization efforts and (2) the significance test (t-test) and (f-test) showed that the variables representing the knowledge aspect (X1) and attitude aspect (X2) did not have a statistically significant or real effect. Although environmental factors (X3) have the same impact. The importance of farmer behavior in increasing understanding and changing attitudes to minimize environmental pollution and contribute to achieving zero waste goals.

The MyoGravity project to study real microgravity effects on human muscle precursor cells and tissue

Microgravity (µG) experienced during space flights promotes adaptation in several astronauts’ organs and tissues, with skeletal muscles being the most affected. In response to reduced gravitational loading, muscles (especially, lower limb and antigravity muscles) undergo progressive mass loss and alteration in metabolism, myofiber size, and composition. Skeletal muscle precursor cells (MPCs), also known as satellite cells, are responsible for the growth and maintenance of muscle mass in adult life as well as for muscle regeneration following damage and may have a major role in µG-induced muscle wasting. Despite the great relevance for astronaut health, very few data are available about the effects of real µG on human muscles. Based on the MyoGravity project, this study aimed to analyze: (i) the cellular and transcriptional alterations induced by real µG in human MPCs (huMPCs) and (ii) the response of human skeletal muscle to normal gravitational loading after prolonged exposure to µG. We evaluated the transcriptomic changes induced by µG on board the International Space Station (ISS) in differentiating huMPCs isolated from Vastus lateralis muscle biopsies of a pre-flight astronaut and an age- and sex-matched volunteer, in comparison with the same cells cultured on the ground in standard gravity (1×g) conditions. We found that huMPCs differentiated under real µG conditions showed: (i) upregulation of genes related to cell adhesion, plasma membrane components, and ion transport; (ii) strong downregulation of genes related to the muscle contraction machinery and sarcomere organization; and (iii) downregulation of muscle-specific microRNAs (myomiRs). Moreover, we had the unique opportunity to analyze huMPCs and skeletal muscle tissue of the same astronaut before and 30 h after a long-duration space flight on board the ISS. Prolonged exposure to real µG strongly affected the biology and functionality of the astronaut’s satellite cells, which showed a dramatic reduction of responsiveness to activating stimuli and proliferation rate, morphological changes, and almost inability to fuse into myotubes. RNA-Seq analysis of post- vs. pre-flight muscle tissue showed that genes involved in muscle structure and remodeling are promptly activated after landing following a long-duration space mission. Conversely, genes involved in the myelination process or synapse and neuromuscular junction organization appeared downregulated. Although we have investigated only one astronaut, these results point to a prompt readaptation of the skeletal muscle mechanical components to the normal gravitational loading, but the inability to rapidly recover the physiological muscle myelination/innervation pattern after landing from a long-duration space flight. Together with the persistent functional deficit observed in the astronaut’s satellite cells after prolonged exposure to real µG, these results lead us to hypothesize that a condition of inefficient regeneration is likely to occur in the muscles of post-flight astronauts following damage.

Real world effectiveness of Hawthorn special extract WS 1442 in a retrospective cohort study from Germany

Hawthorn special extract WS 1442 has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Experimental studies have shown an antiarrhythmic effect of the substance. In the present study, we investigated antiarrhythmic effects of WS 1442 compared with magnesium/potassium in a large collective of outpatients. Using the IQVIA Disease Analyzer (DA) database, we included 4550 patients with a prescription of WS 1442 and 4550 matched patients with Tromcardin prescriptions (all registered products under the trademark Tromcardin that are magnesium and potassium supplementing foods for special medical purposes) who were followed for 5 years after the index date. The incidence of various cardiac arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation and flutter (AFF), tachycardia, and other cardiac arrhythmias) was recorded. Cox regression models were used to evaluate the potential association between both drugs and arrhythmias. The cumulative incidence of atrial fibrillation and flutter was significantly lower among patients with a prescription of WS 1442 compared to patients with magnesium/potassium prescriptions (10.8% vs. 16.4%, p < 0.001). WS 1442 prescription was significantly associated with a lower incidence of atrial fibrillation and flutter compared to magnesium/potassium (HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.64–0.80; p < 0.001). The cumulative incidence of tachycardia was significantly lower in the WS 1442 group compared to the magnesium/potassium group (8.3% vs. 9.4%, p < 0.001), similarly, the cumulative incidence of other cardiac arrhythmias was significantly lower among patients with WS 1442 compared to patients with magnesium/potassium (10.2% vs. 14.8%, p < 0.001). This study showed that in a large collective of outpatients, intake of hawthorn special extract WS 1442 was associated with a significantly lower incidence of atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, and other cardiac arrhythmias compared to magnesium/potassium, indicating its potential in treating and preventing such conditions.

Fault isolation considering real mechanical coupling effects with application to liquid oxygen/kerosene staged combustion rocket engines

Liquid rocket engines are crucial for space exploration, necessitating reliable fault diagnosis systems. This paper focuses on fault isolation in liquid oxygen (LOX)/kerosene staged combustion rocket engines. Addressing deficiencies in current methods, we first propose a theorem to evaluate the adaptability between the analytical model and fault factors based on available sensors. Through the analysis of fault mechanisms, this paper defines fault modes using an innovative multi-factor coupling approach based on engine operational principles. Moreover, a fault isolation method with two steps is established, incorporating the optimal selection of sensors to accommodate robust requirements. This method features a clear process, low computational complexity, and comprehensive fault coverage, and it can also be applied to systems with similar complex operational mechanisms.

Effect of Rabbit Urine Bio Fertilizer and NPK on Vegetative Variables of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a plant that requires more N nutrients than other nutrients. The abundance and affordability of rabbit urine bio fertilizer can reduce the cost of cultivation production inputs due to the high price of inorganic fertilizers. Rabbit urine contains higher N nutrients compared to other livestock urine. This study aims to obtain a combination of Rabbit Bio Urine (BUK) fertilizer concentration and NPK fertilizer dosage that can give the best results on the growth of sorghum plants (Sorghum bicolor L.). The research method used is a non-factorial Randomized Group Design (RAK) consisting of 6 levels, namely: P1 (BUK 0 ml/L + 100% NPK), P2 (BUK 41 ml/L + 80% NPK), P3 (BUK 27 ml/L + 80% NPK), P4 (BUK 18 ml/L + 80% NPK), P5 (BUK 9 ml/L + 80% NPK), and P6 (BUK 5 ml/L + 80% NPK). The application of rabbit bio urine fertilizer gives a real effect on the parameters of plant height and stem diameter at the age of 36 HST and 42 HST. In the parameter of the number of leaves, rabbit bio urine fertilizer and NPK gave no significant effect at all observation times. The P2 treatment (BUK 41 ml/L + NPK 80%) gave the highest results in the parameters of plant height at the age of 36 HST and 42 HST which amounted to 98,1 cm and 123,7 cm. In the parameter of stem diameter, the highest result was obtained by P1 (BUK 0 ml/L + NPK 100%) which amounted to 14,8 mm. Keywords : N Nutrient, Rabbit Urine Bio Fertilizer, Sorghum

Research on the impact of digital inclusive finance on the performance of rural returnee entrepreneurs in China

Using data from the 2019 China Household Finance Survey (CHFS), this paper explores the impact of digital inclusive finance on the entrepreneurial performance of returning rural migrants. The study first finds that digital inclusive finance can enhance the entrepreneurial performance of returning rural migrants. Second, it significantly improves entrepreneurial performance in three dimensions: the degree of digitization in inclusive finance, the depth of digital financial usage, and the breadth of digital financial coverage. Third, farmers’ digital participation, digital usage, and the extent of digital usage are crucial pathways through which digital inclusive finance influences their entrepreneurial performance. Fourth, the impact of digital inclusive finance on entrepreneurial performance varies according to different types of migration, duration of migration, scale of entrepreneurship, educational attainment, and credit access channels. The findings of this study help validate the real effects of digital inclusive finance on entrepreneurial outcomes in rural populations.

Factors Affecting the Price of Curly Chili at the Producer Level in West Bandung Regency

Fluctuations in chili prices often occur due to the uneven availability of chili supply throughout the year, so the price of chili will jump up when the supply is low. The decline in the amount of cayenne pepper crop production in West Bandung Regency is an indicator that there is a decrease on the supply side. This study aims to analyze the effect of total harvested area, production costs, and yields/production of curly red chili on the price of curly red chili at the farm level. This research uses quantitative research methods. Data analysis using multiple linear regression. The types of data in this study are secondary data and primary data. The method of determining the sample in this study is a survey method with random sampling techniques selected randomly. The total respondents were 68 farmers, so the number of samples in this study was 35 farmers and consumers. The results showed that simultaneously, there was no significant and simultaneous influence between area, production costs, and yields/production on the price of curly red chili peppers in Parongpong District. While partially independent, the independent variables (area, production costs, and yields/production) have a real effect on the price of curly red chili peppers in Parompong District

The first factor (main plot) was the branch pruning (P) treatment which consisted of 2 levels and the second factor (subplot) was the dose of KCl (K) fertilizer which consisted of 4 levels. The results of the research showed that there was a real influence in the treatment without pruning on the parameters of the number of male flowers and on the parameter of fruit weight with the best treatment being pruning, whereas for the treatment the dose of KCl fertilizer had a real effect on the parameters.

The Real Effects of Zombie Lending in Europe

‘Zombie lending’ occurs when a lender supports an otherwise insolvent borrower. Recent studies document that zombie lending has been widespread following the European sovereign debt crisis. In this paper, I develop a quantitative model to study the impact of these lending practices on firm dynamics. In the model, firm liquidations and zombie lending arise endogenously. The model provides a good match to key euro‐area firm statistics over the period 2011–14. I find that zombie lending has a substantial impact on borrowing costs, helping more low‐productivity firms to survive. This, in turn, causes a drag on aggregate output, investment and productivity.

Digital Health: The Critical Value of Mobile Technology for the Health Sector, Different Application Examples from the World and Current Trends

The internet technology, which began to integrate into our lives rapidly by the end of the 1990s, underwent significant transformations with the advent of mobile technology in the 2000s. Initially accessible through desktop or notebook computers, the internet has evolved to become an integral part of virtually every aspect of our lives as mobile technology advanced throughout the 2000s. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of mobile technologies within current health technologies, investigate the necessary competencies, evaluate mobile technology developments both in Türkiye and globally, and assess the information technology infrastructure, competencies, and skills required by the sector. Our research details various and specific mobile applications from numerous countries. Findings indicate that mobile technology has established itself much more rapidly and effectively in countries with strong internet infrastructure. Mobile health services are perceived as highly valuable by citizens. The real quality and effectiveness of mobile technology depend on its acceptance and swift implementation by users. Gamification is an important tool in the adoption of mobile health applications. These applications can enhance motivation by enabling both doctors to monitor patient care services and patients to track their own health. A good mobile health system should be accepted by both patients and doctors. In countries like Türkiye, where the health system is largely supported by the state, it is seen as necessary for the Ministry of Health to prioritize mobile services to establish a robust mobile health system. Furthermore, to effectively structure mobile services, it is essential to focus on the right problems and identify issues in order of priority. Literature review reveals that various mobile applications have been implemented in fields such as dermatology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, and clinical pathology. Mobile technologies offer significant cost advantages in the delivery of health services. As the population ages in European Union countries, national governments are seeking ways to reduce healthcare costs. Mobile health is considered a solution to transform the delivery of health services and reduce costs through viable new care models for both industrialized and developing countries. Moreover, it has been observed that mobile applications provide significant benefits for the elderly, particularly in developed countries such as Germany and Sweden. Our study provides a comprehensive assessment of mobile technology in the healthcare sector, highlights prominent applications from Türkiye and around the world, and offers an extensive evaluation for field readers.

Jurisdictional imaginaries as contested geographies: A metaphor analysis of reference cases about Canada's Impact Assessment Act

Jurisdictional imaginaries, defined as constitutive and productive fictions with real world effects, serve a distinct purpose in the context of debates over Canadian environmental impact assessment. Metaphors are one way in which jurisdictional imaginaries are maintained and contested. In creating associations between entities, metaphors mark storytelling about jurisdiction with the imprints of history and place, and shape thinking about arrangements of authority within contested geographies. In Canadian reference cases (questions posed by governments to courts to seek advice on legislation), the judiciary settle conflicts over jurisdiction through case-by-case assessments based on interpretations of the Canadian constitution in which debates about federalism loom large. Our analysis of two reference cases on Canada's Impact Assessment Act (IAA) evidenced disagreements in court decisions about the scope and significance of provincial and federal authority, which hinged on metaphors of separation and conflict, and drew on two competing imaginaries: a classical imaginary which envisions dualist, hierarchical, and exclusionary orders of authority between provincial and federal governments; and a modern imaginary which emphasizes jurisdictional overlap and flexibility in constitutional interpretation. Reading these divergent imaginaries against a backdrop of legal pluralism and ongoing settler colonialism, we argue that both imaginaries normalize, rather than unsettle, colonial political logics predicated on the replacement of Indigenous sovereignty by European legal orders. The IAA reference cases, far from mere technical assessments of the constitutionality of legislation, highlight political questions about what kind of society Canada is and could become.

Abstract B066: An AI approach to unraveling treatment response in pancreatic cancer: Insights from the COMPASS trial leveraging large language models (LLMs)

Abstract Pancreatic cancer, often termed the “silent killer” due to its vague symptoms and late diagnosis, continues to challenge oncologists with its significant treatment challenges and poor prognosis. Standard-of-care regimens, such as FOLFIRINOX (FFX) and Gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (GnP), show varied efficacy among patients. Understanding the factors that contribute to these varied responses is crucial for advancing personalized treatment strategies. This study uses NetraAI, a novel machine learning (ML) approach to analyze whole genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA sequencing (RNASeq) data from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) subjects (n=208) prior to FFX or GnP first-line combination therapy from the COMPASS trial, aiming to identify key variables that distinguish between responses to these two therapeutic regimens. NetraAI identifies explainable subpopulations within clinical trial data defined by a set of driving variables (i.e., hypotheses) related to drug response. This approach focuses on explaining only subjects that collectively represent a real effect and does not forcibly explain everyone, to avoid overfitting. Our analysis identified several key factors significantly correlating with treatment response. Downregulated LRRC8E and upregulated PTPRH showed favourable response to GnP, while upregulated UTG1A13p was associated with FFX response. Across all patients (stable disease, partial response, complete response) CLEC19A and LRRC29 expression were associated with better response to both FFX and GnP, suggesting that they may play a role in the chemotherapy response mechanisms. The NetraGPT module, leverages large language models (LLMs) and NetraAI insights to further query trial results. Querying NetraGPT, we identified a link between LRRC29 and HOOK1, associated with SHP, which has been linked to GnP response in non-small cell lung cancer. These findings suggest that chemotherapy response may be cancer-agnostic, depending on the chemotherapeutic agent, with LRRC29 expression discriminating selecting GnP versus FFX treatment. Our findings highlight the potential of AI in elucidating complex relationships within clinical trial data, offering valuable insights into the determinants of treatment response in pancreatic cancer to achieve more personalized cancer care. The identified biomarkers provide a promising foundation for developing personalized treatment strategies, enhancing the precision of therapeutic decisions. Integrating explainable ML methods for small and medium sized clinical data with LLMs provides an exciting step forward. Retrieval Augmentation allows researchers to create LLMs that are designed to answer questions about heterogeneous patient populations through the vantage of the various insights that have been discovered via specialized ML methods such as NetraAI and its NetraGPT module. We will provide a demo of how an interactive LLM was used to derive new insights into PDAC that may pave the way to precision treatment and explain how researchers can begin to create their own versions of these tools.

Myoinositol and Metformin in the Prevention of Gestational Diabetes in High-Risk Patients: A Narrative Review.

Our hypothesis is that myoinositol and metformin in pregnant women with high-risk factors for glucose intolerance would reduce insulin resistance and consequently lower the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a metabolic disorder of pregnancy characterized by maternal hyperglycemia due to deficient response to physiological insulin resistance, which may have a negative impact on perinatal outcome and long-term sequelae. In recent years, this pathology has become increasingly important given the global obesity epidemic and the delay in becoming pregnant, especially in industrialized countries. For this reason, the attempt to prevent, rather than cure, gestational diabetes is particularly important. In addition to lifestyle changes (especially diet and doing more exercise), myoinositol and metformin are the most promising factors at the moment, although not all RCTs published so far agree on their real effectiveness. A review of the articles published so far allows us to assume, albeit with some distinctions, that they can play a positive role.

Digital improvements in the design and construction process of classical Chinese garden rockeries: a study based on material digitization

Rockeries have a complex and significant role in classical Chinese garden designs. They present distinct artistic characteristics and spatial hierarchies and are crucial to garden heritage conservation. Craftsmanship in rockery construction is a significant part of China’s intangible cultural heritage. Rockeries are primarily composed of naturally occurring rocks chosen for their uniqueness and complex shapes and textures. These rocks present challenges as nonstandard elements within the traditional Chinese garden context, as it is not easy to depict them using conventional blueprints and models. This complicates the design, adjustment, display, and construction of rockeries, which lacks tangible bases for reference. Consequently, the preservation and restoration of garden rockeries is difficult, and the perpetuation and dissemination of rockery construction skills face numerous challenges. This study introduces a method that combines laser scanning and photographic measurements to digitize precisely nonstandard elements of rockery stones. This approach presents an innovative design and construction workflow for rockeries by refining design processes, showcasing real effects, and resolving assembly issues. The results demonstrate that the combination of three-dimensional laser scanning and close-range photogrammetry can accurately replicate the complex forms and textures of these nonstandard elements. The stone coding and digital management system devised based on the logic of construction effectively satisfies the design and building requirements of rockeries. Correspondingly, the proposed digital construction workflow enhances the accuracy of rockery design, presentation, and evaluation, thereby contributing to the protection and restoration of rockery heritage sites and the transmission of rockery construction techniques.
