How to lead on carbon neutrality through sustainable development: A perspective on renewable energy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and logistics networks.

In the face of intensifying climate change-induced environmental problems, understanding the causal relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and socioeconomic factors is crucial for achieving sustainable development. This study investigates how the causal relationships between renewable energy, information and communication technology (ICT), logistics networks, economic growth, industrialization, and energy intensity impact sustainable development using a panel dataset drawn from 104 countries and covering 2006 to 2019. Methodologically, panel unit root, panel co-integration, and Granger causality tests are employed as robust econometric techniques.

The dynamic relationship between industrialization, urbanization, CO emissions, and transportation modes in Korea: empirical evidence from maritime and air transport.

This study investigates the causal relationship between logistics efficiency and factors affecting the logistics environment, such as industrialization, urbanization, and CO2 emissions. With the expectation that logistics efficiency will contribute to economic growth and enhance country competitiveness in the near future, it is necessary to confirm the impact of each factor on different transportation modes, such as maritime and air transport. To this end, this study identifies causal relationships between the factors affecting the logistics environment and specific modes of transportation using data from 2010 to 2018.

An Eco-Safety Assessment of Glyoxal-Containing Cellulose Ether on Freeze-Dried Microbial Strain, Cyanobacteria, Daphnia, and Zebrafish.

The objective of this study was to investigate the aquatic-toxic effects of glyoxal-containing cellulose ether with four different glyoxal concentrations (0%, 1.4%, 2.3%, and 6.

Esthetic rehabilitation of single anterior edentulous space using fiber-reinforced composite.

A fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) fixed prosthesis is an innovative alternative to a traditional metal restoration, as it is a conservative treatment method. This case report demonstrates a detailed procedure for restoring a missing anterior tooth with an FRC. A 44-year-old woman visited our department with an avulsed tooth that had fallen out on the previous day and was completely dry.

Considerations during crown reattachment procedure over the pulpal exposure: case report.

Crown reattachment is the most conservative treatment which can be used to restore fractured tooth, presumably with sufficient strength, while maintaining original contour, incisal translucency, and reducing chair time and cost.However, in case of crown fracture with pin-point pulp exposure, we should cautiously minimize the irritation to the pulp and consider pre-treatment pulpal status, choice of pulp capping materials, choice of bonding system and treatment sequence during crown reattachment procedures. This case reports the considerations while crown reattachment with direct pulp capping using calcium hydroxide (Dycal, Dentsply Caulk).

Fragmentation patterns of protonated amino acids formed by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization.

Rationale: Dissociation reactions of protonated amino acids (AAs) can be used as models for the fragmentation of protonated peptides. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) provides a great deal of structural information in a short analysis time.

Methods: In APCI-MS, the fragmentation patterns can be obtained by varying the cone voltage and some fragment ions are produced that can be used to identify the structure of an analyte.

Infective Endocarditis due to Streptococcus Agalactiae in Young and Immunocompetent Woman: A Case of Structurally Normal Valve Endocarditis Presented with Major Stroke.

We describe here a 26-year-old woman who presented confusion and right hemiparesis due to embolic obstruction of left internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery. Transthoracic echocardiography showed structurally normal mitral valve with hypermobile echogenic material suggesting vegetation. The vegetation was disappeared after antimicrobial treatment without surgery.

Formation of metal complex ions from amino acid in the presence of Li+, Na+ and K+ by electrospray ionization: metal replacement of hydrogen in the ligands.

Alkali metal cations easily form complexes with proteins in biological systems; understanding amino acid clusters with these cations can provide useful insight into their behaviors at the molecular level including diagnosis and therapy of related diseases. For the purpose of characterization of basic interaction between amino acids and alkali metal, each of the 20 naturally occurring amino acids were ionized in the presence of lithium, sodium and potassium cations by electrospray ionization, and the resulting product ions were analyzed. We focus our attention on the gas phase alkali metal ion-proton exchanged complexes in current study, specifically complexes with serine, threonine, asparagine and glutamine, which share characteristic pattern unlike other amino acids.

JAK2 V617F-positive essential thrombocythemia in a patient with Klinefelter syndrome: a case report.

Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most commonly diagnosed X chromosome aneuploid syndrome among males. The association between hematologic malignancies such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukemia and KS has been established recently on the basis of numerous case reports and a large cohort study. The risk of chronic myeloproliferative disease (MPD) as a hematologic malignancy in KS, however, has not been evaluated to date.

Analysis of cyanoacrylate ultraviolet absorbers using liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry: influence of fragmentor voltage and solvent on ionization and fragmentation behaviors.

Ionization efficiencies and fragmentation patterns of cyanoacrylate ultraviolet (UV) absorbers, Uvinul 3035 and Uvinul 3039, were studied using liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (LC/APCI-MS). Solvent effect on the ionization efficiencies was investigated using methanol, ethanol, acetone, and chloroform. The fragmentation patterns were also investigated by varying the fragmentor voltage.
