Purpose: To evaluate the preoperative and intraoperative risk factors for revision after artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in male patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: A retrospective analysis from a prospectively maintained database was performed. Male patients, with moderate-tosevere SUI, undergoing AUS implantation were included. All patients underwent placement of AMS 800. Cause of revision, type of revision, and time to revision were recorded. Multivariable analyzes were performed using a logistic regression to investigate the risk factors. Competing risk analysis according to Fine-Gray model was used to study time to event data. Results: A total of 70 patients were included. Revision surgery was performed in 22 of 70 patients (31.4%), after a median (interquartile range) time of 26.5 months (6.5–39.3 months). Overall, 19 of 22 repairs (86.4%) and 3 of 22 explants (13.6%) were recorded. Mechanical dysfunction, urethral erosion, urethral atrophy, and device infection were the causes of revision in 11 of 22 (50.0%), 6 of 22 (27.3%), 3 of 22 (13.6%), and 2 of 22 patients (9.1%). Vesicourethral anastomosis stenosis (P=0.02), urethral cuff size of 3.5 cm (P=0.029), and dual implantation (P=0.048) were independent predictors for revision. Vesicourethral anastomosis stenosis (P=0.01) and urethral cuff size of 3.5 cm (P=0.029) predicted a lower survival of the AUS. Conclusions: The vesicourethral anastomosis stenosis, urethral cuff size of 3.5 cm, and dual implantation are independent predictors for revision after AUS implantation. However, only the vesicourethral anastomosis stenosis and urethral cuff size of 3.5 cm predict a lower survival of AUS.

Corporate reputation is a widely debated topic among academics and a crucial issue in the business world. However, previous research in this area has been scattered and fragmented, leaving room for further study, particularly in terms of reputation measurement methods. Factors such as sustainability reporting, governance attributes, and company characteristics have been linked to improved company reputation. However, there is limited research on the effects of these variables on the new methods of measuring reputation, especially in developing countries like Malaysia. Therefore, the current study developed a new measurement for reputation and aimed to examine the relationship between these variables and the new proxy of reputation. The current study collected secondary data from the company’s annual report for two years period of study (i.e., 2018 and 2019) and employed content analysis. A period of two years was chosen and deemed ample to provide insightful findings of the effect of the variables associated with reputation disclosure. The results indicate that sustainability reporting, outside directors, company size, leverage, and profitability significantly impact corporate reputation. This finding suggests that Malaysian PLCs and other firms in developing countries must recognize sustainability reporting as part of their reputation management strategy that influences the company’s reputation.
Scaling Network Information Services to Support HetNets and Dynamic Spectrum Access

Wireless network information services allow end systemsto discover heterogeneous networks and spectrumavailable for secondaryuse at or near their current location, helping them to copewith increasing traffic and finite spectrum resources. We propose aunified architecture that allows end systems to find nearby base stationsthat are using either licensed, shared or unlicensed spectrumacross multiple network operators. Our study evaluates the performanceand scalability of spatial databases storing base stationcoverage area geometries. The measurement results indicate thatthe current spatial databases perform well even when the numberof coverage areas is very large. A single logical spatial databasewould likely be able to satisfy the query load for a large nationalcellular network. We also observe that coarse geographic divisionscan significantly improve query performance.
Single Web Shear Element Model for Shear Strength of RC Beams with Stirrups
Esa Obande Jude,Chang-Hoo Oh,Seong-Cheol Lee 한국콘크리트학회 2018 International Journal of Concrete Structures and M Vol.12 No.3
In this paper, an analytical model to rationally evaluate the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams with stirrups has been developed. In the developed model, a shear critical section has been idealized with a single web element for shear and the top and bottom chords for flexure, respectively. With the longitudinal strain at the mid-depth in the shear critical section, evaluated from the flexural analysis, the web element has been analyzed, based on the analysis procedure modified from the modified compression field theory finite element formulation. Through the comparison with the test results of 201 reinforced concrete beams with stirrups exhibiting shear failure before flexural yielding, it was investigated that the developed model well predicted the actual shear strength of reinforced concrete beams with stirrups. In addition, it was investigated that the developed model rationally considered the effect of main parameters such as concrete compressive strength, shear span–depth ratio, stirrup ratio, and member depth. Through simplification, the developed model can be useful to develop more rational shear design provisions for reinforced concrete members with stirrups.
HOW COUNTRY DISTANCE SHAPES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF B2B DIGITAL CONTENT MARKETING
Esa Hakulinen,Heli Hallikainen,Tommi Laukkanen 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2023 Global Marketing Conference Vol.2023 No.07
B2B marketers increasingly encounter a pressure to be digitally present in digital channels and to generate content that is tempting in driving potential customers to interact with the company online (Wiersema, 2013; Andersson & Wikstro?m 2017). This is what B2B lead nurturing is about as the objective of lead nurturing is to provide the audience with relevant and valuable content which leads to an increased brand interest and awareness, with the goal of bringing in new customers (Marketo, 2023). To better understand how prospects and leads react to digital content, companies can build lead scoring into a strategic tool for the salespeople to qualify the prospective customers down to a list of leads, meaning prospects who are considered the most likely to convert to a positive business outcome and to be contacted in person by the salespeople (J?rvinen & Taiminen 2016; Paschen et al. 2020).

High-profile corporate crises have sparked a surge in interest in corporate governance (CG) and corporate reputation (CR). Company governance issues in many companies contribute to corporate failures and a bad reputation. Transparency is the glue that holds any group or organization together while also connecting it to a coalition of key stakeholders. This research focuses on how corporate governance factors (such as board independence, board size, board meetings, and board gender) and company characteristics affect the reputation of Malaysian public listed companies (PLCs). Many studies have looked into the characteristics of corporate governance in Malaysian businesses. However, none of the research has explored this issue using the new reputation measurement. A sample of the 100 largest companies listed on Bursa Malaysia based on their market capitalization for the year ended 2018 was selected. A new measurement, the disclosure index, was created and used to analyze reputation disclosure in the annual report of a corporation. The independent director, board size, and board meeting were statistically significant and associated with the level of reputation disclosure, according to the findings of this study. The results suggest that company directors prioritize good governance and management quality to boost their firm’s reputation and acquire a competitive edge.

Tiikkaja,Esa,Kauppinen,Marko,Sopenlehto,Taina,Farrand,Nigel 강원대학교 부설 창강제지 기술연구소 1998 제지기술 Vol.- No.12
Valmet Automation has over 15 years experience in fiber analysis. The first true fiber length analyzer, KAJAANI FS-100, was introduced to the market in 1982. Later in 1987, the fully automatic KAJAANI FS-200 was launched and soon became the standard for fiber length measurement. The on-line KAJAANI FSA analyzer, based on FS-200 technology, arrived in mills during 1993. The unique KAJAANI FiberLab analyzer is now set to write the next chapter in the story of fiber characteristic analysis. The KAJAANI FiberLab combines the standardized fiber length measurement with new fiber width and cell wall thickness measurements. The unique accuracy of the KAJAANI FiberLab makes it equally suitable for research and as a standard production laboratory tool. Connected to the mill information system FiberLab can provide rapid fiber characteristics for faster process control decisions and valuable data for efficient fiber utilization.
