One of the important issues in standard implementation is its economic impact. This is because the economic benefits of the standard implementation are intangible and difficult to be measured. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the economic benefit of standard implementation in Indonesian auto - electric stove for SME by using the economic benefit of standard (EBS) approach developed by ISO. The data collection and the empiric case study analysis was performed through in-dept interview with the key informants are the owner of the SME, the SME's supervisors and experts in the field of standard implementation. This study uses a value chain approach to measure the economic impact of the implementation of SNI IEC 60335 and the SNI ISO 9001 standard. The research result showed that the standard implementation provided economic benefits of 5.432,5 USD per year. Furthermore, the economic benefits were obtained by the cost efficiency of the business function or the increased revenue from the production.

Drought is one of the most detrimental natural calamities to the economy. Despite its significant consequences, the evolution from meteorological to agricultural and hydrological droughts still needs to be explored. A thorough investigation was carried out in India's eastern hills and plateau region to determine the extent of drought's impact through indices.

Purpose Of Review: Heart failure is a complex and heterogenous disease state that affects millions worldwide. Over recent decades, advancements in medical therapy and device implementation have significantly transformed the landscape of heart failure outcomes, while improvements in imaging modalities and greater accessibility to genome sequencing have led to increasing recognition of distinct heart failure endotypes. There is rising evidence to suggest all patients do not benefit equally from intensification of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT).

Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is widely used for managing brain metastases (BMs), but an adverse effect, radionecrosis, complicates post-SRS management. Differentiating radionecrosis from tumor recurrence non-invasively remains a major clinical challenge, as conventional imaging techniques often necessitate surgical biopsy for accurate diagnosis. Machine learning and deep learning models have shown potential in distinguishing radionecrosis from tumor recurrence.

Delayed sternal closures are associated with prolonged lengths of stay and contribute to infection risks and morbidities. At a single-site academic pediatric center, we created an SSI-prevention bundle targeting the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care periods.
